To obtain the coordinates of the Earth's pole almost all series of systematic latitude observations that continued for more than two years have been utilized. They are listed in Table I which comprises 92 series of observation at 72 observatories.Computation was made by the following stages. As initial data we used normal values of latitude φ1, φ2, ……. φn, i.e. the means of instantaneous latitudes over successive intervals of time. These values were smoothed using Whittaker's numerical method which is capable of giving the most probable curve of latitude variation. The smoothed values φ′ satisfy the following condition where hi is a measure of precision, λ2 an arbitrary number by means of which the degree of smoothing is set, and Δ3 designates the third difference of φ′. Whittaker's method was applied in different modifications according to whether or not the normal values of φ′i had an equal weight and were given at equidistant moments of time.For the origin of the system of coordinates we adopted the mean pole of the epoch of observation. Because of this the data given in Table II represent only the periodic part of the polar motion in the region of frequency from 0.77 to 2 cycles per year. In this connection the sequence of φ′ was subjected to filtration in order to eliminate variation of the mean latitude.Coordinates of the pole were computed in two approximations. First, it was assumed that all the series are of the same accuracy and so they were taken with an equal weight.The polar coordinates obtained on this assumption are denoted by x1, y1 and shown in the second and third columns of Table II. The divergences of the smoothed values φ′i from the latitudes computed with x1, y1 were denoted by zκi where the index κ designates the number of a series. Then for the second approximation each series of observation was taken with the weight inversely proportional to the mean value of for this series. The polar coordinates obtained in the second approximation are denoted by x2, y2 and given in the last two columns of Table II.The full paper with the tables will be published by the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences as a separate book.

Let Pc(x)={p≤x|p,[pc]areprimes},c∈R+∖N and λsym2f(n) be the n-th Fourier coefficient associated with the symmetric square L-function L(s,sym2f). For any A>0, we prove that the mean value of λsym2f(n) over Pc(x) is ≪xlog−A−2x for almost all c∈ε,(5+3)/8−ε in the sense of Lebesgue measure. Furthermore, it holds for all c∈(0,1) under the Riemann Hypothesis. Furthermore, we obtain that asymptotic formula for λf2(n) over Pc(x) is ∑p,qprimep≤x,q=[pc]λf2(p)=xclog2x(1+o(1)), for almost all c∈ε,(5+3)/8−ε, where λf(n) is the normalized n-th Fourier coefficient associated with a holomorphic cusp form f for the full modular group.

This paper is a contribution to the project of determining which set existence axioms are needed to prove various theorems of analysis. For more on this project and its history we refer the reader to [1] and [2].We work in a weak subsystem of second order arithmetic. The language of second order arithmetic includes the symbols 0, 1, =, <, +, ·, and ∈, together with number variables x, y, z, … (which are intended to stand for natural numbers), set variables X, Y, Z, … (which are intended to stand for sets of natural numbers), and the usual quantifiers (which can be applied to both kinds of variables) and logical connectives. We write ∀x < t φ and ∃x < t φ as abbreviations for ∀x(x < t → φ) and ∃x{x < t ∧ φ) respectively; these are called bounded quantifiers. A formula is said to be if it has no quantifiers applied to set variables, and all quantifiers applied to number variables are bounded. It is if it has the form ∃xθ and it is if it has the form ∀xθ, where in both cases θ is .The theory RCA0 has as axioms the usual Peano axioms, with the induction scheme restricted to formulas, and in addition the comprehension scheme, which consists of all formulas of the formwhere φ is , ψ is , and X does not occur free in φ(n). (“RCA” stands for “Recursive Comprehension Axiom.” The reason for the name is that the comprehension scheme is only strong enough to prove the existence of recursive sets.) It is known that this theory is strong enough to allow the development of many of the basic properties of the real numbers, but that certain theorems of elementary analysis are not provable in this theory. Most relevant for our purposes is the fact that it is impossible to prove in RCA0 that every continuous function on the closed interval [0, 1] attains maximum and minimum values (see [1]).Since the most common proof of the Mean Value Theorem makes use of this theorem, it might be thought that the Mean Value Theorem would also not be provable in RCA0. However, we show in this paper that the Mean Value Theorem can be proven in RCA0. All theorems stated in this paper are theorems of RCA0, and all of our reasoning will take place in RCA0.

The purpose of this study is to determine the activity of serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) in healthy people, in connection with significant differences in published reference ranges from different authors. In our study, we examined 160 healthy subjects aged 18 to 84, of whom 64 were men and 96 women. We have determined serum adenosine deaminase levels using a method based on the ability of the enzyme adenosine deaminase to catalyze the deamination of adenosine to inosine and ammonia. The catalytic concentration is determined spectrophotometrically by the rate of reduction of NADH measured at 340 nm. We found that normal serum ADA values among our healthy subjects are higher than the recommended reference range for the method we use, namely below 18 U/l. Using the percentile method, we worked out the following reference ranges: for women 14.53 - 25.73 U/l and for men 18.46 – 27.50 U/l. For women, the mean value is 21.07 U/l, and for men 21.30 U/l. At 95% CI, the serum ADA values of almost all subjects included in the study are within the recommended and other authors range of 11.50 - 25.00 U/l.

(1) Background: The antiviral treatment for COVID-19 disease started to be largely used in 2020 and has been found to be efficient, although it is not specific for SARS-CoV-2 virus. There were some concerns that it may produce liver damage or other side effects. (2) Methods: The aim of this study was to observe if antiviral therapy is affecting liver parameters or producing other side-effects in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 disease. The study included a group of patients hospitalized in the internal medicine department of Oradea Municipal Clinical Hospital, Romania, between August 2020–June 2021, diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 viral infection by RT-PCR method or rapid antigen test. During hospitalization, patients were treated with a Lopinavir/Ritonavir (Kaletra) combination, or with Favipiravir or Remdesivir. In addition to monitoring the evolution of the disease (clinical and biochemical), also hepatic parameters were analyzed at admission, during hospitalization, and at discharge. (3) Results: In the group of studied patients, the mean value of aspartat aminotrensferase did not increase above normal at discharge, alanin aminotransferase increased, but below twice the normal values, and cholestasis registered a statistically insignificant slight increase. (4) Conclusions: In our study, we found that all three antivirals were generally well tolerated and their use did not alter liver function in a significant manner.

An analysis of the kinematical and photometric properties of about 600dF stars and 600 gG-gK stars permits the estimation of the radial chemical gradient in the Galaxy. The mean value in the solar neighbourhood obtained for all of these stars is: The values of [Fe/H] used for this estimation are deduced for the dF stars using uvby β photometric measurements and for the gG-gK stars from a list published by Hansen and Kjaergaard. An estimate of the chemical gradient using UBV photometry of dG stars in the solar neighbourhood gives a similar value. For all the samples studied (dF, dG or giants) the order of magnitude for the gradient is the same. However, for the youngest stars in these samples the metallicity gradient could be larger: Such a value may be affected by dynamical perturbations of the galactic disk.The values published by Hansen and Kjaergaard for the sodium concentration in giant star atmospheres also indicate a radial galactic gradient of the same order.If only the dF stars which are sufficiently evolved to allow an age estimate are considered, then a very distinct correlation is found between age and metallicity: An important fraction of the heavy elements actually present in the solar neighbourhood seems to have synthetized during the life of the galactic disk.The two derivatives and are not independent, but are connected by the chemical evolution of the galactic disk. Some elementary deductions show the coherency of these two estimates.The intrinsic dispersion of metallicities, at a given age and birthplace, is somewhat lower than the admitted values. It has not been possible to find any significant variation with age of this quantity from the present observational material. The simultaneous variation of σ2w and [Fe/H] as function of age is evidence for a z stratification in the mean abundance of the heavy elements. The ratio between the mean metallicity in the plane and at z = 500 pc is estimated to be about a factor of two.Finally it is shown that the interpretation of the kinematical diagrams for different groups of given metallicity is ambiguous. A relation as e vs [Fe/H] depends not only on the chemical and kinematical history of the Galaxy but is also strongly dependent on the observational errors of [Fe/H] and on criteria used to define the sample.A paper containing the above results has been submitted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Abstract Taurine was measured in cerebrospinal fluid by reacting it with fluorescamine to form a fluorescent derivative, followed by separation on a reversed-phase column and fluorometric detection and evaluation. The assay is rapid (17 min) and sensitive to as little as 1 mumol/L. The mean value for 27 cerebrospinal fluid samples collected from patients free from meningitis and aneurysm was 5.7 +/- 1.8 mumol/L. Twenty-two patients with bacterial meningitis showed a 0- to 20-fold increase in cerebrospinal fluid taurine, with a return to normal values after antibiotic treatment.

Let X be an F-space (complete metric linear space) and suppose g:[0, 1] → X is a continuous map. Suppose that g has zero derivative on [0, 1], i.e.for 0≤t≤1 (we take the left and right derivatives at the end points). Then, if X is locally convex or even if it merely possesses a separating family of continuous linear functionals, we can conclude that g is constant by using the Mean Value Theorem. If however X* = {0} then it may happen that g is not constant; for example, let X = Lp(0, 1) (0≤p≤1) and g(t) = l[0,t] (0≤t≤1) (the characteristic function of [0, t]). This example is due to Rolewicz [6], [7; p. 116].
