BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies have identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for subclinical cardiovascular outcomes in adults. We examined the influence of these variants on the same outcomes in childhood. METHODS AND RESULTS In a population-based prospective cohort study among 4137 children, we examined the associations of SNPs, individually and incorporated in genetic ...

Objective To investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of venous narrowing in newly developing MS lesions in a longitudinal MRI study including susceptibility-weighted images (SWIs). Methods We retrospectively investigated serial MR examinations of 18 patients with MS acquired on a 3T MRI system including SWI for acute contrast-enhancing lesions with at least 1 MRI examination before contrast ...

In soils under wheat cultivation, soil aggregates stability is increased and destructive effects of erosion decreased, due to organic matters (OM) application. This trail was conducted in Shavoor agriculture research station to determine of mean weight diameter (MWD) under different organic matter sources and amounts in Khuzestan province (at south west of Iran) via a split plot experiment base...

in the present paper, we introduce some new sequence spaces derived by riesz mean and the notions of almost and strongly almost convergence in a real 2-normed space. some topological properties of these spaces are investigated. further, new concepts of statistical convergence which will be called weighted almost statistical convergence, almost statistical convergence and statistical convergence...

the object of this paper is to establish a summability factor theorem for summabilitya, , k  1 k  where a is the lower triangular matrix with non-negative entries satisfying certain conditions.

we obtain sufficient conditions for the series σanλn to be absolutely summable of order k by atriangular matrix.
