In this paper we use probabilistic arguments (Tug-of-War games) to obtain existence of viscosity solutions to a parabolic problem of the form {K(x,t)(Du)ut(x,t)=12⟨D2uJ(x,t)(Du),J(x,t)(Du)(x,t)⟩u(x,t)=F(x)in ΩT,on Γ, where ...

Introduction : The Timed “Up &Go” (TUG) test has been used in the assessment of the functional mobility and only few studies have tested it in a healthy pediatric population, as well as in patients with Down Syndrome ...

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, whose main motor signals - postural instability, bradykinesia, rest tremor and stiffness - progress decreasing functional mobility. For the evaluation ...

Fatty acids are well known metabolic intermediaries but also have a role in the immune response. Long-chain fatty acids such as omega-6 and -9 activate neutrophil function through free fatty acid (FFA)-1 receptor in bovines. ...

Background: the Berg scale and the timed 'up and go' test (TUG) are established measures to assess mobility in frail older adults. As an alternative to self-paced tests to assess aerobic exercise capacity, the incremental ...

In this manuscript we deal with regularity issues and the asymptotic behaviour (as p → ∞) of solutions for elliptic free boundary problems of p−Laplacian type (2 ≤ p < ∞): −pu(x) + λ0(x)χ{u>0}(x) = 0 in ⊂ RN , with a ...
