Introduction: Several factors can affect the composition of a mother’s milk, including the infant’s sex, gestational age, and single or twin delivery. We aimed to determine the association of the offspring’s sex with the macronutrie...
We study a class of non-unitary so ( 2 , d ) representations (for even values of d), describing mixed-symmetry partially massless fields which constitute natural candidates for defining higher-spin singletons of higher order. It is shown that...
New results on singleton rainbow domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs P(ck,k) are given. Exact values are established for some infinite families, and lower and upper bounds with small gaps are given in all other cases.
In the present paper, we develop a theory of thinking based on an attempt to formalize the construction of mental representations as described in psychoanalytic theory. In previous work, we described Freud’s and Matte Blanco’s structural...
A new species—Docosia caucasica sp. n.—has been described from material collected from the Lesser Caucasus Mountains in Georgia (Sakartvelo). The new species belongs to a group of Palaearctic species characterized by distinct posterolater...
Introduction. Percentiles of birth weight by gestational age (GA) are an essential tool for clinical assessment and initiating interventions to reduce health risks. Unfortunately, Poland lacks a reference chart for assessing newborn growth based on t...
Objective: To compare the rates of fetal growth restriction (FGR) in singleton and twin pregnancies using singleton and twin-specific birthweight standards. Methods: The study included liveborn twin and singleton pregnancies between January 2000 and...
In the present paper, we aim to develop a formal quantum logic theory of the interplay between conscious and unconscious processes of the human mind, a goal that has already been envisaged in quantum cognition; in doing so, we will show how the inter...
Accurate identification of independent predictors of stillbirth is needed to define preventive strategies. We aim to examine the independent contribution of maternal race in the risk of stillbirth after adjusting for maternal characteristics and medi...
A local ring is an associative ring with unique maximal ideal. We associate with each Artinian local ring with singleton basis four invariants (positive integers) p,n,s,t. The purpose of this article is to describe the structure of such rings and cla...
The main objective of this article is to classify all finite singleton local rings, which are associative rings characterized by a unique maximal ideal and a distinguished basis consisting of a single element. These rings are associated with four pos...
