Yogurt consumption and abdominal obesity reversion in the PREDIMED study.

2016

Yogurt consumption and abdominal obesity reversion in the PREDIMED study. BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Evidence on the association yogurt consumption and obesity is not conclusive. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the association between yogurt consumption, reversion of abdominal obesity status and waist circumference change in elderly. METHODS AND RESULTS: 4545 individuals at high cardiovascular risk were prospectively followed. Total, whole-fat and low-fat yogurt consumption were assessed using food frequency questionnaires. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze the association between yogurt consumption and waist circumference change (measured at baseline and y…

Miscellaneous Graph Preliminaries

2020

Summary This article contains many auxiliary theorems which were missing in the Mizar Mathematical Library [2] to the best of the author’s knowledge. Most of them regard graph theory as formalized in the GLIB series (cf. [8]) and most of them are preliminaries needed in [7] or other forthcoming articles.

Spatio-Temporal Spread Pattern of COVID-19 in Italy

2021

This paper investigates the spatio-temporal spread pattern of COVID-19 in Italy, during the first wave of infections, from February to October 2020. Disease mappings of the virus infections by using the Besag–York–Mollié model and some spatio-temporal extensions are provided. This modeling framework, which includes a temporal component, allows the studying of the time evolution of the spread pattern among the 107 Italian provinces. The focus is on the effect of citizens’ mobility patterns, represented here by the three distinct phases of the Italian virus first wave, identified by the Italian government, also characterized by the lockdown period. Results show the effectiveness of the lockdo…

Maximal subgroups and PST-groups

2013

A subgroup H of a group G is said r to permute with a subgroup K of G if HK is a subgroup of G. H is said to be permutable (resp. S-permutable) if it permutes with all the subgroups (resp. Sylow subgroups) of G. Finite groups in which permutability (resp. S-permutability) is a transitive relation are called PT-groups (resp. PST-groups). PT-, PST- and T-groups, or groups in which normality is transitive, have been extensively studied and characterised. Kaplan [Kaplan G., On T-groups, supersolvable groups, and maxmial subgroups, Arch. Math. (Basel), 2011, 96(1), 19-25)] presented some new characterisations of soluble T-groups. The main goal of this paper is to establish PT- and PST-versions o…

Adaptive Number Knowledge in Secondary School Students: Profiles and Antecedents

2019

Cited By :1 Export Date: 10 February 2021 Correspondence Address: McMullen, J.; Department of Teacher EducationFinland; email: jake.mcmullen@utu.fi The present study aims to examine inter-individual differences in adaptive number knowledge in secondary school students. Adaptive number knowledge is defined as a well-connected network of knowledge of numerical characteristics and arithmetic relations. Substantial and relevant qualitative differences in the strategies and expression of adaptive number knowledge have been found in primary school students still in the process of learning arithmetic. We present a study involving 879 seventh-grade students that examines the structure of individual…

Rojos y demócratas : la oposición al franquismo en la Universidad de Valencia. 1939-1975

2002

Edición ampliada de la obra "L'oposició universitària al franquisme : València 1939-1975", que fue editada en el curso 1995-1996 por DISE, revista de la Universidad de Valencia. La dirección y texto es de Benito Sanz Díaz, y la dirección técnica de Mª Ferranda Martí Campoy, directora de DISE. Se distribuyó en 9 fascículos a través de citada revista, y se hizo una edición en forma de libro. Los fascículos se dividían en texto principal, y unas separatas de colaboraciones. La investigación recoge las distintas épocas de oposición a la dictadura en la Universidad de Valencia. Analiza la caída del sindicato falangista –SEU- y la aparición del Sindicato Democrático de Estudiantes de Valencia –SD…

Deciphering genomic heterogeneity and the internal composition of tumour activities through a hierarchical factorisation model

2021

Genomic heterogeneity constitutes one of the most distinctive features of cancer diseases, limiting the efficacy and availability of medical treatments. Tumorigenesis emerges as a strongly stochastic process, producing a variable landscape of genomic configurations. In this context, matrix factorisation techniques represent a suitable approach for modelling such complex patterns of variability. In this work, we present a hierarchical factorisation model conceived from a systems biology point of view. The model integrates the topology of molecular pathways, allowing to simultaneously factorise genes and pathways activity matrices. The protocol was evaluated by using simulations, showing a hi…

Fixed Points for Multivalued Convex Contractions on Nadler Sense Types in a Geodesic Metric Space

2019

In 1969, based on the concept of the Hausdorff metric, Nadler Jr. introduced the notion of multivalued contractions. He demonstrated that, in a complete metric space, a multivalued contraction possesses a fixed point. Later on, Nadler&rsquo

Entry-Item-Quantity-ABC Analysis-Based Multitype Cigarette Fast Sorting System

2012

Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/847591 Open access Numerous items, small order, and frequent delivery are the characteristics of many distribution centers. Such characteristics generally increase the operating costs of the distribution center. To remedy this problem, this study employs the Entry-Item-Quantity (EIQ) method to identify the characteristic of the cigarette distribution center and further analyzes the importance degree of customers and the frequently ordered products by means of EQ/EN/IQ-B/IK statistic charts. Based on these analyses as well as the total rep…
