Four quadrilateral elements for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model are considered. The elements are the stabilized MITC4 element of Lyly, Stenberg and Vihinen [27], the MIN4 element of Tessler and Hughes [35], the Q4BL element of Zienkiewicz et al [39] and the FMIN4 element of Kikuchi and Ishii [21]. For all elements except the Q4BL element, a unifying variational formulation is introduced, and o...

Previously, we have studied the minimal oligomer size of an aggregate amyloid seed and the mechanism of seed growth with a multilayer -sheet model. Under high temperature simulation conditions, our approach can test the stability of possible amyloid forms. Here, we report our study of oligomers of Alzheimer’s amyloid -peptide (A ) fragments 16–22, 16–35, and 10–35 (abbreviated A 16–22, A 16–35,...

Available online 4 April 2008 How is corporate governance measured? What is the relationship between corporate governance and performance? This paper sheds light on these questions while taking into account the endogeneity of the relationships among corporate governance, corporate performance, corporate capital structure, and corporate ownership structure. We make three additional contributions...

In this paper I will report the result of a quantitative analysis of the dynamics of the consti tuent elements of Japanese terminology. In Japanese technical terms, the linguistic contribution of morphemes greatly differ according to their types of origin. To analyse this aspect, a quantitative method is applied, which can properly characterise the dynamic nature of morphemes in terminology on ...

Mathematical model for hit phenomena presented by A Ishii et al in 2012 has been extended to analyze and predict a lot of hit subject using social network system. The equation for each individual consumers is assumed and the equation of social response to each hit subject is derived as stochastic process of statistical physics. The advertisement effect is included as external force and the comm...
