BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine morphometric features of the cerebral surface in adolescent and adult female subjects with bulimia nervosa (BN). METHODS Anatomical magnetic resonance images were acquired from 34 adolescent and adult female subjects with BN and 34 healthy age-matched control subjects. We compared the groups in the morphological characteristics of their cerebral...

OBJECTIVE To test whether intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is related to eating disorder (ED) pathology. METHOD Thirty individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN), 19 with bulimia nervosa (BN), and 28 healthy control women (CW) completed the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS). RESULTS AN and BN groups showed higher IU compared with CW. In AN and BN, Harm Avoidance and Depression scores were p...

Abstract Chung, Diaconis, and Graham considered random processes of the form Xn+1 = 2Xn + bn (mod p) where X0 = 0, p is odd, and bn for n = 0, 1, 2, . . . are i.i.d. random variables on {−1, 0, 1}. If Pr(bn = −1) = Pr(bn = 1) = β and Pr(bn = 0) = 1− 2β, they asked which value of β makes Xn get close to uniformly distributed on the integers mod p the slowest. In this paper, we extend the results...

Let Bn be an increasing sequence of regions in d-dimensional space with volume n and with union d. We prove a general central limit theorem for functionals of point sets, obtained either by restricting a homogeneous Poisson process to Bn, or by by taking n uniformly distributed points in Bn. The sets Bn could be all cubes but a more general class of regions Bn is considered. Using this general ...

The low-temperature adsorption of isolated transition metal adatoms (Mn, Co, and Fe) onto hexagonal boron nitride monolayers on Rh(111) creates a bistable adsorption complex. The first state considerably weakens the hexagonal boron nitride- (h-BN-) substrate bond for 60 BN unit cells, leading to a highly symmetric ring in STM images, while the second state is imaged as a conventional adatom and...

Let BN be the unit ball in the N-dimensional complex space, for ψ, a holomorphic function in BN , and φ, a holomorphic map from BN into itself, the weighted composition operator on the weighted Hardy space H(β,BN ) is given by (Cψ,φ) f = ψ(z) f (φ(z)), where f ∈H2(β,BN ). This paper discusses the spectrum of Cψ,φ when it is compact on a certain class of weighted Hardy spaces and when the compos...

3/a) On peut éliminer le cas où bn est nul à partir d’un certain rang (ceci ne peut se produire que si tous le an sont nuls) ; dans ce cas il suffit de prendre un = 1/n. Posons vn = supp≥n bp et un = √ vn. La suite (vn) est une suite décroissante de réels strictement positifs, tend vers 0 car bn → 0, et bn ≤ vn pour tout n ∈ N∗. La suite (un) tend donc vers 0 en décroissant, et puisque bn/un ≤ ...

The construction of a Bayesian Network (BN) model entails two major tasks: realization of the model structure, and the calibration (parameterization) of the model. BN model constructors, ab initio, relied only on domain experts to define both the structure and parameters of a model. Currently, algorithms exist to construct BN models from data. Consequently, there are three BN model construction...
