when s1, . . . , sk are positive integers and z a complex number in the unit disk. For k = 1, this is the classical polylogarithm Lis (z). These multiple polylogarithms can be defined also in terms of iterated Chen integrals and satisfy shuffle relations. Multiple polylogarithms in several variables are defined for si ≥ 1 and |zi | < 1(1 ≤ i ≤ k) by Li(s1,...,sk)(z1, . . . , zk) = ∑ n1>n2>···>n...

Michael Lister has responded to my critique of his work with what Lakatos (1980) called a “problem shift”. In his original paper, Lister (2007) presented empirical evidence that selective welfare state institutions undermine norms of solidarity, which in turn depresses turnout in general elections. In my comment (Arzheimer 2008), I demonstrate that, while the hypothesis is certainly plausible, ...

provides an overview of subject repositories (srs) throughout the world in response to the open access movement (oam). it mainly highlights the current trends of repository development in library and information science (lis) field. this paper covers all repositories in lis field as registered in opendoar (directory of open access repository) database. the main objective of the paper is to sele...

Spontaneous mutations in the human LIS 1 gene are responsible for Type I lissencephaly (" smooth brain ). The distribution of neurons within the cerebral cortex of lissencephalic children appears randomized, probably owing to a defect in neuronal migration during early development. LIS 1 has been implicated in the dynein pathway by genetic analyses in fungi. We previously reported that the vert...

BACKGROUND The association between the Medicare Part D low-income subsidy (LIS), gap coverage, and outcomes such as medical expenditures, prescription fills, and medication adherence is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the LIS and these measures for patients within a large, national Part D plan in the United States. METHODS In this cross-s...

We studied in anesthetized rats whether aminopeptidase P (AMP) may be involved in bradykinin (BK) metabolism and responses. For this we inhibited AMP with the specific inhibitor apstatin (Aps). Studies were done with Aps alone or together with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor lisinopril (Lis). Aps increased the vasodepressor response to an intravenous bolus of BK (400 ng/kg): vehicle...

BACKGROUND SAR342434 (SAR-Lis) is a biosimilar (follow-on) of insulin lispro (U100; Humalog®; Ly-Lis). This study aimed to show similar efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SAR-Lis versus Ly-Lis in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with multiple daily injections, while using insulin glargine (GLA-100; Lantus®) as basal insulin. METHODS SORELLA 2 was a 6-month, ran...
