SEVERAL MAD FAMILIES AND THEIR NEIGHBORSTapani

Several Mad Families and their Neighbors

Mad Families and Their Neighbors

We study several sorts of maximal almost disjoint families, both on a countable set and on uncountable, regular cardinals. We relate the associated cardinal invariants with bounding and dominating numbers and also with the uniformity of the meager ideal and some of its generalizations. 1. Who Are These Families? A Background Check Almost disjoint (ad) families have been a topic of interest in s...

Strategic voices of care and compassion. Describing the mad, their afflictions and situations in Amsterdam and Utrecht in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries

Painting a picture of the lives of the early modern mad outside institutions has not yet been done in the Netherlands. However, by looking at notarial documents and admission requests, we can learn more about how the mad were cared for outside the institutions, and the impact their behaviour had on the people close to them. Investigating these sources for both Amsterdam and Utrecht in the seven...

Solutions structure of integrable families of Riccati equations and their applications to the perturbed nonlinear fractional Schrodinger equation

Some preliminaries about the integrable families of Riccati equations and solutions structure of these equations in several cases are presented in this paper, then by using of definitions for fractional derivative we apply the new extended of tanh method to the perturbed nonlinear fractional Schrodinger equation with the kerr law nonlinearity. Finally by using of this method and solutions of Ri...

A comparative study of interventions for delaying the initiation of sexual intercourse among Latino and black youth.

CONTEXT Latino and black adolescents are disproportionately affected by STDs, including HIV, and unintended pregnancies. Few parent-based interventions have targeted these youth, focused on early adolescence and had high participation rates. METHODS Between 2003 and 2009, a randomized clinical trial was conducted with 2,016 Latino and black mother-adolescent dyads in New York City. Adolescent...
