In [D. Diener, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 27 (1990), pp. 543–551], a conjecture on the dimension of the bivariate spline space Sr 2r( ) over the Morgan–Scott triangulation was posed. In this paper, it is proved that the conjecture should be modified for all even r > 2.

Background: In the precent study, firm evidences indicate that folic acid supplementation during the peri-conceptional period reduces the risk of having a baby with neural tube defects. Aim: To ascertain the level of awareness about folic acid, its use during peri-conceptional period and the predictive factors of folic acid awareness among pregnant women in our setting. Subjects and Methods: Co...

Internal-mirror 543-nm He-20Ne and He-22Ne lasers are frequency-stabilized to the Lamb-dip of their tuning curves. Frequency stability of 2×10−11 and frequency resettability of 4×10−9 (or 2 MHz) are achieved. The absolute frequencies of the two lasers are determined by frequencycomparing with an iodine-stabilized 543-nm laser. The isotope shift between 20Ne and 22Ne is measured to one order of ...
