A stochastic dynamic programming model is presented that supports and extends work on the reproductive performance of the !Kung Bushmen (Lee 1972), (Blurton Jones et al. 1978), (Blurton Jones 1986) proposing that !Kung women and their reproductive systems may be maximizing reproductive success. The stochastic dynamic programming approach allows the construction of a \whole-life" model where the...

let $e$ be an elliptic curve over $bbb{q}$ with the given weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. if $d$ is a squarefree integer, then let $e^{(d)}$ denote the $d$-quadratic twist of $e$ that is given by $e^{(d)}: y^2=x^3+ad^2x+bd^3$. let $e^{(d)}(bbb{q})$ be the group of $bbb{q}$-rational points of $e^{(d)}$. it is conjectured by j. silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...

چکیده the issue of validity and non-validity of absolute conjecture, although frequently studied and researched by great scholars, is still in need of further research, since the studies and researches carried out so far are typically based on the presuppositions that have been regarded as indisputable and needless of study and research; whereas, in fact, they are not indisputable and need furt...

amara in jurisprudential sources is said to any evidence which indicate the fact. indication is not definitively in the sight of foghaha and osooliyeen, but due to the prevailing conjecture which can be achieved from that evidence. witnesses’ testimony (bayyinah) as valid evidence in the jurisprudence and law is known as an “amara” in the sight of jurists witch its validity is from legislator. ...

The nature of the carbohydrates of translocation and the reserve carbohydrates in guayule has only recently been elucidated. McRARY and TRAUB (28) isolated a fructosan, tentatively identified as inulin, and HASSID et al. (19) definitely characterized this substance as inulin. Later, TRAUB and SLATTERY (41) showed that in addition to inulin, levulins are also present in guayule tissue, and in re...
