Objectives: The majority (80%) of stroke survivors in Bangladesh have lived with either minor or major physical, emotional, and cognitive disabilities. Due to patients’ poor perceived experience in healthcare services, participation in rehabilitation care has become a significant challenge for them. Consequently, it increases the burden of stroke disability. Therefore, this study aimed to measu...

1 Discrepancy principle for the dynamical systems method Abstract Assume that Au = f, (1) is a solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space, ||A|| < ∞, and R(A) is not closed, so problem (1) is ill-posed. Here R(A) is the range of the linear operator A. A DSM (dynamical systems method) for solving (1), consists of solving the following Cauchy problem: ˙ u = −u + (B + (t)) −1 A * f, u(0) = u 0 , ...

  In a three-year (2004-2006), field experiment, we aimed to study changes in leaf physiological traits (leaf water potential-Ψleaf, leaf water content-LWC, carbon isotope discrimination-Δ, specific leaf area-SLA, chlorophyll content as assessed by SPAD and modified SPAD-MSPAD) and elemental composition (K, Na, Ca, Mg, K/Na, Ca/Mg, total leaf salinity-TLS) of sugar beets (cv. Rizor) grown unde...

In order to reduce the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), novel electrolyte materials based on CeO2 and BaCeO3 are being developed in the scientific realm. In this context, we propose a new methodology for preparing the nano-ceramic composite materials such as BaCe0.9Gd0.9O3-δ – Ce0.9Gd0.9O2-δ (BCGO–CGO) and BaCe0.8Sm0.2O3-δ – Ce0.8Sm0.2O2-δ (BCSO – CSO) as possible elec...

We determine that the connectivity and the edgeconnectivity of the Cartesian product G1 × G2 of two strongly connected and finite digraphs G1 and G2 are equal to min{n1κ2,n2κ1, δ+ 1 + δ+ 2 , δ− 1 + δ− 2 } and min{n1λ2,n2λ1, δ+ 1 + δ+ 2 , δ− 1 + δ− 2 }, respectively, where ni , κi , λi , δ + i , δ − i are the order, the connectivity, the edgeconnectivity, the minimum out-degree and the minimum i...

Background During fluid challenge, volume expansion (VE)-induced increase in cardiac output (Δ VE CO) is seldom measured. Methods In patients with shock undergoing strictly controlled mechanical ventilation and receiving VE, we assessed minimally invasive surrogates for Δ VE CO (by transthoracic echocardiography): fluid-induced increases in end-tidal carbon dioxide (Δ VE E'CO2 ); pulse (Δ VE ...

Say that κ’s measurability is destructible if there exists a <κ-closed forcing adding a new subset of κ which destroys κ’s measurability. For any δ, let λδ =df The least beth fixed point above δ. Suppose that κ is indestructibly supercompact and there is a measurable cardinal λ > κ. It then follows that A1 = {δ < κ | δ is measurable, δ is not a limit of measurable cardinals, δ is not δ+ strongl...
