Topological Space
2020
We introduce some formal definition of Topological Space in the the framework of the so-called classical mathematics.
Diversification and performance in the mobile app market: The role of the platform ecosystem
2019
Abstract We examine the effect of app developers' product line diversification decision on their performance and shed light on whether the type of platform ecosystem (open versus closed) where they commercialize apps influences this effect. We compare the revenue performance of diversified and specialized developers in Apple's App Store and Google Play. We show that in the Apple's App Store (closed platform) diversified developers always display lower performance than their specialized counterparts. In Google Play (open platform) diversification is beneficial in categories where diversified developers have predominant market share, whereas it is detrimental in categories dominated by specia…
A survey on solvable sesquilinear forms
2018
The aim of this paper is to present a unified theory of many Kato type representation theorems in terms of solvable forms on a Hilbert space \((H,\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle)\) In particular, for some sesquilinear forms Ω on a dense domain \(D\subseteq\mathcal {H}\) one looks for a representation \(\Omega(\xi,\eta)= \langle T\xi,\eta\rangle\) \((\xi\epsilon\mathcal{D}\mathcal(T),\eta\epsilon D)\) where T is a densely defined closed operator with domain \(D(\mathcal{T})\subseteq \mathcal{D}\). There are two characteristic aspects of a solvable form on H. One is that the domain of the form can be turned into a reexive Banach space that need not be a Hilbert space. The second one is that represe…
The influence of the stomatognathic system on explosive strength: A pilot study
2015
[Purpose] Recent findings suggest there is an interesting interaction between the stomatognathic system and the musculoskeletal system. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the influence of the temporomandibular joint on the explosive strength of the lower limbs. [Subjects and Methods] An observational study was carried out. The subjects were 60 male football players who voluntarily participated in the investigation. After a warm-up phase of 10 minutes, each participant performed three Squat Jumps (SJ) with different mandible positions: mouth closed and mouth open. SJ heights were recorded using a Sensor Medica force platform and the FreeMed system. [Results] Sixty participants we…
A Novel Digital Technique for Measuring the Accuracy of an Indirect Bonding Technique Using Fixed Buccal Multibracket Appliances
2021
The aim of this study was to analyze the accuracy and predictability of the indirect bonding technique of fixed buccal multibracket appliances using a customized iterative closest point algorithm. Materials and Methods: A total of 340 fixed buccal multibracket appliances were virtually planned and bonded on 34 experimental anatomically based acrylic resin models by using orthodontic templates designed and manufactured to indirectly bond the fixed buccal multibracket appliances. Afterwards, the models were submitted to a three-dimensional impression technique by an intraoral scanner, and the standard tessellation language digital files from the virtual planning and the digital impression wer…
The automated pancreas: A review of technologies and clinical practice
2021
Insulin pumps and glucose sensors are effective in improving diabetes therapy and reducing acute complications. The combination of both devices using an algorithm-driven interoperable controller makes automated insulin delivery (AID) systems possible. Many AID systems have been tested in clinical trials and have proven safety and effectiveness. However, currently, none of these systems are available for routine use in children younger than 6 years in Europe. For continued use, both users and prescribers must have sound knowledge of the features of the individual AID systems. Presently, all systems require various user interactions (e.g. meal announcements) because fully automated systems ar…
Video materiāli ar subtitriem angļu valodā lasīšanas ātruma un izpratnes paaugstināšanai 11. klasē
2020
Mūsdienās ir nepieciešama efektīva lasīšanas izpratne un ātrums, lai atrastu atbilstošu un patiesu informāciju, piemēram, laikrakstos, transporta grafikos un citos rakstveida avotos. Diplomdarba mērķis bija izpētīt, kā video materiālu ar angļu subtitriem pielietošana var palielināt lasīšanas ātrumu un izpratni 11. klasē. Pētījuma metode bija gadījuma pētījums ar 12 skolēnu izlasi. Datu vākšanas gaitā tika veikti skolēnu lasīšanas ātruma un izpratnes mērījumi, ievāktas atgriezeniskās saites anketas un veiktas daļēji strukturētas intervijas ar divām skolotājām. Pētījuma rezultātā tika atklāts, ka nedaudz paaugstinājās lasīšanas ātrums, bet pazeminājās teksta izpratne. Šajā gadījumā video mate…
2019
Background: Recently, the number of refugees in Germany has skyrocketed, leading to a marked increase in refugee children admitted to hospitals. This study describes the special characteristics encountered in pediatric surgical inpatient refugees compared to locally residing patients. Methods: Hospital records of minor refugees admitted to our department from 2005 up to and including 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data, diagnoses, comorbidities, body mass indexes, hemoglobin values, and lengths of stay were extracted and statistically compared to local patients. Results: A total of 63 refugee children were analyzed and compared to 24,983 locally residing children. There was…
Closed versus open reduction of facial fractures in children and adolescents: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2020
Background Treatment of facial fractures in children and adolescents has always been a challenge for oral surgeon. The choice of treatment type must take into account several factors. This systematic review aimed to evaluate closed versus open reduction of facial fractures for pediatric facial fractures. Material and Methods A systematic review of the literature was conducted in three databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and The Cochrane Library) in accordance with the PRISMA statement. The PICO question was: Conservative treatment is more appropriate than surgical treatment for reducing facial fractures in children and adolescents? The full papers of 41 references were analyzed in detail. Ele…
Acute effects of low doses of methyl parathion on human EEG.
2005
Abstract Biological monitoring of workers exposed to organophosphates consists mainly of measuring serum or erythrocyte cholinesterase activity. However, animal experiments and a field study suggest that quantitative analysis of EEG may be more sensitive. In a parallel group design, 25 farmers were investigated, spraying methyl parathion or water for 50 min. EEG was recorded before and after spraying. Serum and erythrocyte cholinesterase activity was compared with intraindividual pre-exposure values. Plasma methyl parathion concentrations ranged up to 12.1 μg/l, methyl paraoxon was not detectable. Based on plasma concentrations, two exposed subgroups were defined. In EEG recorded with close…
