The role of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a potential independent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor has recently gained considerable attention because CVD is the common cause of death in NAFLD patients. We aimed to estimate the effects of vitamin D supplementation alone or in combination with calcium on atherogenic indices, liver function tests and grade of disease in pati...

We will examine double sequence to double sequence transformation of independent identically distribution random variables with respect to four-dimensional summability matrix methods. The main goal of this paper is the presentation of the following theorem. If maxk,l|am,n,k,l| maxk,l|am,kan,l| O m−γ1 O n−γ2 , γ1, γ2 > 0, then E|X̆|1 1/γ1 < ∞ and E| ̆̆ X|1 1/γ2 < ∞ imply that Ym,n → μ almost sure P...

Double field theory describes a massless subsector of closed string theory with both momentum and winding excitations. The gauge algebra is governed by the Courant bracket in certain subsectors of this double field theory. We construct the associated nonlinear backgroundindependent action that is T-duality invariant and realizes the Courant gauge algebra. The action is the sum of a standard act...

Given a bipartite graph G(U ∪ V, E) with n vertices on each side, an independent set I ∈ G such that |U ⋂ I| = |V ⋂ I| is called a balanced bipartite independent set. A balanced coloring of G is a coloring of the vertices of G such that each color class induces a balanced bipartite independent set in G. If graph G has a balanced coloring we call it colorable. The coloring number χB(G) is the mi...

This paper introduces a novel converter topology based on an independent controlled double-boost configuration. The structure was achieved by combining two classic boost converters connected in parallel at the input and series output. Through proper control of converters, interleaved obtained, which presents low ripple for current. Being output, three-level attained with twice voltage gain topo...

Background: Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) agonists have been effective in the treatment of withdrawal from benzodiazepines, sedatives and alcohol, and reducing the craving for cocaine. Valproate is a GABAergic drug effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain and also in withdrawal from benzodiaepines, sedatives, and alcohol. The purpose of this double-blind trial was to evaluate the ef...
