BACKGROUND A study was performed to evaluate the effect of discontinuation of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) treatment on snoring characteristics. METHODS Eighteen non-apnoeic snoring subjects were randomly allocated to either a no treatment control group or an NCPAP treatment group. The control group was studied twice (baseline and day 30 of follow up). In the NCPAP group ...

Continuous welded turnouts are important for CWR track through the railway station. According to equivalent resistance and non-linear theories and the principle of force diagram, a new method of theoretical calculation for continuous welded turnouts was developed. The continuous welded turnouts designed and installed according to the new theory behaved fairly well. The data collected on sites b...

Background. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is the most common reason of liver disorders that can be controlled by dieting and regular physical activity.  Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic continuous training on serum levels of myonectin, insulin resistance and liver enzymes in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Methods. Thirty-four male W...

A bounded linear operator between Banach spaces is called completely continuous if it carries weakly convergent sequences into norm convergent sequences. Isolated is a universal operator for the class of non-completely-continuous operators from L1 into an arbitrary Banach space, namely, the operator from L1 into `∞ defined by T0(f) = Z rnf dμ n≥0 , where rn is the nth Rademacher function. It is...

In this paper we develop a general theory of continuity in partially ordered sets. Among the interesting special cases of this theory is the theory of continuous lattices developed by D. Scott, J. Lawson and others. Introduction. In this paper we are going to generalize the concept of a continuous poset, using the theory of Galois connections. In this sense we are following Hofmann and Stralka ...
