Bounds for the Normalized Jensen Functional
No full textNew inequalities for the general case of convex functions defined on linear spaces which improve the famous Jensen's inequality are established. Particular instances in the case of normed spaces and for complex and real n-tuples are given. Refinements of Shannon's inequality and the positivity of Kullback-Leibler divergence are obtained

P.S.: Further Thoughts from a Lifetime of Listening
No full textThe pieces in P.S. reflect Studs’s wide-ranging interests and travels, as well as his abiding connection to his hometown, Chicago. Here we have a fascinating conversation with James Baldwin, possibly Studs’s finest interview with an author; pieces on the colorful history and culture of Chicago; vivid portraits of Studs’s heroes and cohorts (including an insightful and still timely interview with songwriter Yip Harburg, known for his “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime”); and the transcript of Studs’s famous broadcast on the Depression, the very moving essence of what was to become Hard Times.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/dlpp_all/1204/thumbnail.jp

Wanderers' Attitude to Soviet Power: Old Believer P.S. Morozov's Unknown Work
No full textРассматривается неизвестное ранее историческое сочинение старовера-странника П. С. Морозова, написанное в 1920 г. для председателя ВЦИК М. И. Калинина с целью защиты старообрядцев города Данилова Ярославской губернии от преследований местных чекистов. Главное внимание уделено особенностям осмысления старовером проблемы отношения своего согласия к советской власти.The author studies the previously unknown historic work of P.S. Morozov, a strannik (wanderer) Old Believer, written in 1920 for M.I. Kalinin, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK) Chairman, and intended to defend the Old Believers in the town of Danilov, Yaroslavl Province, from being pursued by Cheka officers. The author's main attention is focused on Old Believers' understanding of the attitude problem to Soviet power
Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Tenotomy of Biceps Tendon : Technical Feasibility on Cadavers
No full textWe tested the technical feasibility of ultrasound-guided percutaneous tenotomy of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) in cadavers. Both shoulders of two fresh cadavers were scanned anteriorly to evaluate the extra-articular portion of the LHBT. Under ultrasound monitoring, a scalpel was advanced obliquely up to touch the superficial medial side of the LHBT, cutting it until the tendon was not visible anymore. Ultrasound evaluation was repeated after the procedure, and anatomic dissection was performed. The procedure was 100% feasible: four cuts were made to completely sever the tendon; the duration was less than 1 min. Skin incision measured 5 mm in two cases and 6 mm in two cases. Anatomic dissection confirmed complete tendon cut in all cases with proximal and distal tendon stumps very close to each other. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous LHBT tenotomy was 100% technically feasible in cadavers with a quick procedure and minimal cutaneous incision
Absence of sympathetic overactivity in Afro-Caribbean hypertensive subjects studied by heart rate variability
No full textBlack hypertensives present a greater prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy and an increased mortality compared to white hypertensives. Differences in sympathetic activity might contribute to explain these racial differences in hypertension. Nevertheless, previous laboratory studies did not show any increase of sympathetic activity direct to the heart in black subjects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the cardiac sympatho-vagal balance in black and white hypertensives analysing heart rate variability, during the entire 24 h. We analysed Holter recordings of 52 essential hypertensive patients, who had never received antihypertensive treatment, 26 of whom were black and 26 were white. Consecutive series of 300 beats, with 150 beats overlapped (approximately 600 series/day), were considered for the analysis in time and frequency domain. The mean 24-h value of the power of the low frequency spectral component (0.04-0.15 Hz), expressed in normalised units, ie a marker of sympathetic modulation, was significantly lower in the group of black patients compared to whites (respectively 40.0 +/- 2.1 vs 53.6 +/- 3.6 nu, P < 0.01). Similar results were observed for the LF/HF ratio, an index of the sympatho-vagal balance (respectively 4.11 +/- 0.58 vs 5.98 +/- 0.79; P < 0.05). In a multiple linear regression analysis, considering diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular mass index, race and age as independent variables, only race (P < 0.002) and age (P < 0.01) could independently predict the normalised low frequency power or the LF/HF ratio, as dependent variables. The results of this study suggest some blunting of the cardiac sympathetic neural modulation in black hypertensives compared to white hypertensives, during the entire 24 h
