Introduction: The aim was to explore the developmental relationships between the angles of septal deviations and the degree of the mastoid pneumatization.   Materials and Methods: In total, 143 patients with a diagnosis of septal deviation who underwent septoplasty were included. The patients were divided into three groups in terms of the ...

An important predictor of historical sound change, functional load, fails to capture insights from speech perception. Building on ideal observer models of word recognition, we devise a new definition of functional load that incorporates both a priori expectedness and perceptual information. We explore this new measure with a simple model and find that it outperforms tra-

A technique for obtaining refined heuristic solutions problems with electromagnetic wave diffraction by scatterers non-ideal boundary conditions is proposed. Based on the method of fundamental components problem TE-polarized a “semitransparent” half-plane two-sided impedance conditions, an improved solution scattered field obtained replacing primary formula. quantitative and qualitative assessm...

AIM The purpose of this study is to determine the outcome and complications of pregnancy in women with pulmonary autograft valve replacement for aortic valve disease. METHODS AND RESULTS The records of all women who had undergone pulmonary autograft valve replacement at the National Heart Hospital (now Royal Brompton Hospital) since 1968 were reviewed. From 1968 to 1993, 27 hospital survivors...

Suppose J is a two-sided quasi-Banach ideal of compact operators on a separable innnite-dimensional Hilbert space H. We show that an operator T 2 J can be expressed as nite linear combination of commutators A;B] where A 2 J and B 2 B(H) if and only its eigenvalues (n) (arranged in decreasing order of absolute value, repeated according to algebraic multiplicity and augmented by zeros if necessar...

The paper describes several efficient parallel implementations of the one-sided hyperbolic Jacobi-type algorithm for computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Hermitian matrices. By appropriate blocking of the algorithms an almost ideal load balancing between all available processors/cores is obtained. A similar blocking technique can be used to exploit local cache memory of each processor to f...

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the structure of primitively generated connected braided bialgebras A with respect to the braided vector space P consisting of their primitive elements. When the Nichols algebra of P is obtained dividing out the tensor algebra T (P ) by the two-sided ideal generated by its primitive elements of degree at least two, we show that A can be recovered as ...

We construct a Banach space Z such that the lattice of closed two-sided ideals of the Banach algebra B(Z) of bounded operators on Z is as follows: {0} ⊂ K (Z) ⊂ E (Z) ⊂ ⊂ M1 M2 ⊂ ⊂ We then determine which kinds of approximate identities (bounded/left/right), if any, each of the four non-trivial closed ideals of B(Z) contains, and we show that the maximal ideal M1 is generated as a left ideal by...

In 1966 V.Arnold suggested a group-theoretic approach to ideal hydrodynamics in which the motion of an inviscid incompressible fluid is described as the geodesic flow of the right-invariant L-metric on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the flow domain. Here we propose geodesic, group-theoretic, and Hamiltonian frameworks to include fluid flows with vortex sheets. It turns out th...

where (a) denotes the two-sided ideal of R generated by a. Then J is the Jacobson radical [6 ] of R, and N is the radical of R as defined in [l]. It is well known that J = 0 if and only if R is isomorphic to a subdirect sum of primitive rings, and ^ = 0 if and only if R is isomorphic to a subdirect sum of simple rings with unit element. The above definitions of / and N suggest that it might be ...
