We give criteria for the rationality of Cantor series ∑ ∞ n=1 bn a1···an and series ∑ ∞ n=1 bn an where a1, a2, · · · and b1, b2, · · · are integers such that an > 0 and the series converge. We precisely say when ∑ ∞ n=1 bn a1···an is rational (i) if {an} ∞ n=1 is a monotonic sequence of integers and bn+1 − bn = o(an+1) or lim supn→∞( bn+1 an+1 − bn an ) ≤ 0, and (ii) if bn+1 an+1−1 ≤ bn an−1 f...

OBJECTIVE To classify type 1 diabetic females with bulimia nervosa (BN) by type of inappropriate compensatory behavior in order to prevent weight gain (ICB) and to investigate the group differences. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Type 1 diabetic females with BN, diagnosed by structured diagnostic interview based on DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed.) criteria,...

Human small cell lung cancers (SCLC) produce and secrete the regulatory peptide bombesin (BN) or its mammalian counterpart gastrinreleasing peptide (GRP). In addition, several SCLC tumor lines have been shown to express high affinity receptors for BN/GRP. On the basis of these findings, we investigated the effect of exogenously added BN and GRP on the soft agarose colony growth of a panel of hu...

Cationic BN-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BN-PAH+s) were synthesized from a nitrogen-containing macrocycle via pyridine-directed tandem C?H borylation. Incorporating BN into PAH+ resulted in remarkable hypsochromic shift due to an increase the LUMO energy and symmetry changes of HOMO LUMO. Electrophilic substitution or anion exchange BN-PAH+ possessing tetrabromoborate as counter (...

Brown Norway rats (BN, BN/NHsdMcwi) are profoundly resistant to developing acute kidney injury (AKI) following ischemia reperfusion. To help define the genetic basis for this resistance, we used consomic rats, in which individual chromosomes from BN rats were placed into the genetic background of Dahl SS rats (SS, SS/JrHsdMcwi) to determine which chromosomes contain alleles contributing to prot...

Background. Different studies indicate a high prevalence of eating disorders in athletes. These disorders represent a serious defect in many areas of life. Eating disorders can lead to changes in consumer or intake of food and significant damage to physical health and psychosocial sports performance. Objectives. The aim of the present study was examining the effects of Cognitive Behavior Thera...

Density functional theory computations with dispersion corrections (DFT-D) were performed to investigate the dihalogen interactions and their effect on the electronic band structures of halogenated (fluorinated and chlorinated) BN bilayers and aligned halogen-passivated zigzag BN nanoribbons (BNNRs). Our results reveal the presence of considerable homo-halogen (FF and ClCl) interactions in bila...

Denote by B∗ n the set of all k∗-cycle resonant hexagonal chains with n hexagons. For any Bn ∈ B ∗ n , let m(Bn) and i(Bn) be the numbers of matchings (=the Hosoya index) and the number of independent sets (=the Merrifield-Simmons index) of Bn, respectively. In this paper, we give a characterization of the k∗-cycle resonant hexagonal chains, and show that for any Bn ∈ B ∗ n , m(Hn) ≤ m(Bn) and ...
