It is proposed that if the spirogram is truncated for moment analysis, this should be done with respect to volume and not time. Errors are incurred when the moments of one spirogram are compared with those of another. These errors are maximal with no truncation and are reduced by truncation. A method is described for deriving sequential truncated moments of the forced expiratory spirogram. The ...

Schwarz methods use a decomposition of the computational domain into subdomains and need to impose boundary conditions on subdomain boundaries. In truncation one restricts unbounded bounded must also put both fields there are vast bodies literature research is very active ongoing. It turns out be fruitful think in as onto subdomains. Seminal precursors this fundamental idea papers by Hagstrom, ...

Caspase-mediated truncation of tau is associated with aggregation. We examined the impact of manipulation of caspase activity on intracellular aggregation of a mutant form of tau (3PO) that forms spontaneous aggregates. Treatment with the caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk reduced both N and C-terminal tau truncation but did not significantly reduce aggregation. Treatment with staurosporine, which act...
