Abstract:

In recent years the ability to simulate and predict disproportionate collapse has seen growing interest among the scientific community. This is a challenging matter, since many authors have been dealing with the modeling of progressive collapse, and it is now well-established that such problem requires the use of many different non-standard modeling techniques together with extensive calibration. Despite the many papers in the literature, there is still a lack of methodologies tailored for the quantification of the structural robustness and its acceptable level, which clearly depends on the im

Abstract:

Phonemic and semantic fluency involve the capacity to generate words beginning with particular letters or belonging to particular categories, respectively. The former has been associated with frontal lobe function and the latter with temporoparietal function, but neuroimaging studies indicate overlap of underlying neural networks. Schizophrenia patients may experience disproportionate semantic fluency impairment owing to abnormal semantic organization; however, executive dysfunction in schizophrenia suggests possible disproportionate phonemic fluency impairment. Moreover, little is known about

Abstract:

AbstractThis experiment explored knowledge of four types of semantic relations (superordinate category, part, property, and function) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects and age- and education-matched controls. Moderate AD subjects showed the greatest disruption on functional relations, intermediate disruption on part and property relations, and the least disruption on category relations; mild AD subjects showed a similar pattern but significant deficits only on functions. We suggest that the disproportionate deficit on functions reflects a greater cognitive complexity of functions than other

Abstract:

Neuromotor control of skeletal muscles, including respiratory muscles, is ultimately dependent on the structure and function of the motor units (motoneurons and the muscle fibers they innervate) comprising the muscle. In most muscles, considerable diversity of contractile and fatigue properties exists across motor units, allowing a range of motor behaviors. In diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), there may be disproportional primary (disease related) or secondary effects (related to treatment or other concomitant factors) on the size and contractility of specific musc

Abstract:

Disproportionate dwarfism phenotypes represent a heterogeneous subset of skeletal dysplasias and have been described in many species including humans and dogs. In this study, we investigated Vizsla dogs that were affected by disproportionate dwarfism that we propose to designate as skeletal dysplasia 3 (SD3). The most striking skeletal changes comprised a marked shortening and deformation of the humerus and femur. An extended pedigree with six affected dogs suggested autosomal recessive inheritance.

Abstract:

Dwarfism phenotypes occur in many species and may be caused by genetic or environmental factors. In this study, we investigated a family of nine Dogo Argentino dogs, in which two dogs were affected by disproportionate dwarfism. Radiographs of an affected dog revealed a decreased level of endochondral ossification in its growth plates, and a premature closure of the distal ulnar physes. The pedigree of the dogs presented evidence of monogenic autosomal recessive inheritance; combined linkage and homozygosity mapping assigned the most likely position of a potential genetic defect to 34 genome se

Obesity increases the risk of developing asthma in children and adults. Obesity is associated with different effects on lung function in children and adults. In adults, obesity has been associated with reduced lung function resulting from a relatively small effect on forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), with the FEV1/FVC ratio remaining unchanged or mildly increased (restrictive pattern). In contrast, in children, obesity is associated with normal or higher FEV1 and FVC but a lower FEV1/FVC ratio (obstructive pattern). This anomaly has recently been associate

Abstract:

Williams syndrome (WMS), a genetic condition resulting from a contiguous deletion on the long arm of chromosome 7, is associated with a relatively consistent profile of neurocognitive and neurobehavioral features. The distinctiveness and regularity of the profile of learning and behavioral characteristics in this genetic condition suggests that underlying neurobiological correlates may be identifiable. In this initial study, we report findings derived from a high-resolution neuroimaging study of 14 young adult subjects with WMS and an individually matched normal control group. Compared to cont

Abstract:

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy describes a clinical phenotype with progressive weakness and atrophy of the muscles of the shoulders and hips. One of the more common types, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2i, is associated with impaired cardiac function and restrictive lung disease, typically disproportionate to muscular disease. This condition presents a number of complex challenges in pregnancy and there are few case reports of its successful management. Here we discuss the course of the first pregnancy of a 20-year-old woman with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2i.

Abstract:

Hornbills (Bucerotidae) are defined by their casques, structures that are extensions of the beak. The purpose of these structures, which take diverse forms, has been subject to speculation. In this study, it is asserted that a primary function of the casque is thermoregulation, its large vascularised surface area functioning as a structure to facilitate heat exchange. Infrared thermography on a Great Hornbill (Buceros bicornis) revealed that the bird’s casque exhibited significant percentage of heat loss in relation to the body's resting heat production along a temperature gradient of 19.2 to

Abstract:

Rules of Origin (RoO) have become an important area of policy attention in international trade negotiations due to their far-reaching trade and investment implications to member countries. The main function of RoO in free trade agreements (FTAs) is to set conditions so that goods produced within FTAs comply with the essential origin criterion to claim the benefits of preferential market access and to prevent the entry of goods from non- FTA partners. The rising cases of disproportionate trade benefits have compelled countries to review their RoO provisions under different trade agreements. Add

Abstract:

Vectorized execution engines process large datasets by decomposing computations into concise (tight) loops, which can be more efficiently executed by modern hardware. Providing loops that are optimal for execution usually adds burden to the software development process, as developers are required to understand details of vectorized execution, columnar data layout, data encodings, and the code compilation process itself, presenting a steep learning curve and challenges to organizations building and scaling large engineering teams. Due to their large quantity, scalar function authoring accentuat

Abstract:

Abstract Historically, a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRDs) created a sense of hopelessness among those diagnosed, their families, and physicians. The misperception that there is no available medical treatment or interventions inhibited patients from receiving cognitive assessments or exploring home- and community-based interventions that could improve quality of life. Today, researchers have developed evidence-based pathways to improve brain health, reduce dementia risk, and enhance lifelong cognitive function.

Abstract:

Obesity is an important public health problem. WHO estimates that about 39 million children younger than 5 years of age are overweighted or obese. On the other hand, asthma is the most prevalent chronic disease in childhood, and thus, many children share those two conditions. In the present paper we review the epidemiology of children with asthma and obesity, as well as the consequences of being obese on the respiratory system. On the one hand obesity produces an underlying T-helper 2 (TH2) low inflammation state in which numerous cytokines, which could have an impact in the respiratory system

Abstract:

Disruption of the airway epithelium triggers a defensive immune response that begins with the production and release of alarmin cytokines. These epithelial-derived alarmin cytokines, including thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), are produced in response to aeroallergens, viruses, and toxic inhalants. An alarmin response disproportionate to the inhaled trigger can exacerbate airway diseases such as asthma. Allergens inhaled into previously sensitized airways are known to drive a T2 inflammatory response through the polarization of T cells by dendritic cells mediated by TSLP. Harmful compounds

Two methods are used to estimate the concrete strength based upon the maturity concept. The conclusion is that the apparent activation energy E value is key factor in the equivalent age method, larger value of E indicated that the age conversion factor versus temperature function is more nonlinear, and an increase in temperature results in a disproportionate increase in the age conversion factor. It is also shown that there is a unique relationship between maturity and relative strength (ratio of strength to limiting strength), and the relative strength method method-can be used in the predict

The emotion of anger has an adaptive function in individuals without mental disorders: it mobilizes resources and motivates to take actions necessary to overcome obstacles, protect health, and defend positions. Manifestations of anger are controllable, correlate in duration and intensity with the trigger, a critical attitude towards them remains, and there is no change in consciousness under the influence of emotion. Manifestations of pathological anger are characterized by disproportionate intensity and persistence. Control over behavior is impaired, and disturbances in various areas of the p
