We show that, if A is a finite-dimensional *-simple associative algebra with involution (over the field K of real or complex numbers) whose hermitian part H( A, * > is of degree > 3 over its center, if B is a unital algebra with involution over 06, and if (I.11 is an algebra norm on H( A @ B, * 1, then there exists an algebra norm on A @ B whose restriction to H(A @ B, *> is equivalent to 11 . ...

We examined heterotypic continuity of emotional and behavioral control (EBC) across early childhood and related early manifestations of EBC to children's school adjustment in 310 low-income, ethnically diverse boys. Multiple informants and methods were used to measure different indicators of EBC at 18, 24, 42, and 60 months, which were chosen to reflect salient regulatory challenges children fa...

In the present paper we introduce the GBS (Generalized Boolean Sum) operators of Durrmeyer type based on q -integers and the approximation of B-continuous functions using the above operators is studied. In addition, a uniform convergence theorem is established and the degree of approximation in terms of mixed modulus of continuity is evaluated. The study contains in the last section numerical c...

There is a high degree of continuity from childhood conduct problems to delinquency and later criminal behavior (Loeber and LeBlanc, 1990). The best predictor of any individual’s future deviant or antisocial behavior is the amount and severity of similar behaviors in the past (Farrington, 1994). Age of onset and severity of juvenile record are two of the best predictors of adult criminality (Gr...

Injuries to the scapholunate joint [SLJ] are the most frequent cause of carpal instability and account for a considerable degree of wrist dysfunction. It is insufficient to cause abnormal carpal posture or collapse on static radiographs, an isolated injury to the scapholunate interosseous ligament may cause progression to abnormal joint mechanics, cartilage wear, and degenerative changes. Inter...

A . Uniform sequential continuity, a property classically equivalent to uniform continuity on compact sets, is shown, constructively, to be a consequence of strong continuity on a metric space. It is then shown that in the case of a separable metric space, in order to omit the word sequential from this result, it is necessary and sufficient to adopt a principle (BD-N) that is independent of Hey...

This paper deals with the modeling of G1 bifurcation. A branch-blending strategy is applied to model the bifurcation such that the coherence among the individual branching segments is characterized. To achieve this, bicubic Bézier patches are first used to generate three half-tubular surfaces by sweeping operations. The bifurcation modeling is then converted to a problem of filling two triangul...

The intrinsic volumes, recalled in the previous chapter, provide an array of size measurements for a convex body, one for each integer degree of homogeneity from 0 to n. For measurements and descriptions of other aspects, such as position, moments of the volume and of other size functionals, or anisotropy, tensor-valued functionals on convex bodies are useful. The classical approach leading to ...

Scholars have often seen Parmenides as entirely opposed to earlier materialistic philosophy. In this paper I argue that what is more striking in Aristotle’s Metaphysics Book the degree of continuity he sees between and material monists. explore coupling with monists understand better takes be distinctive problematic Parmenides’ monism.
