We construct quasiconformal mappings in Euclidean spaces by integration of a discontinuous kernel against doubling measures with suitable decay. The differentials of mappings that arise in this way satisfy an isotropic form of the doubling condition. We prove that this isotropic doubling condition is satisfied by the distance functions of certain fractal sets. Finally, we construct an isotropic...

The authors present the central capacity sharing (CCS) model and derive equations describing its behaviors to explain results from dual-task situations. The predictions of the CCS model are contrasted with those of the central bottleneck model. The CCS model predicts all of the hallmark effects of the psychological refractory period (PRP) pardigm: -1 slope of the PRP effect at short stimulus on...

Stimuli that are clearly positive or negative (hence valence-laden stimuli) have the potential to interrupt unrelated task processing. A typical example is the emotional Stroop effect (ESE) in which responding to a certain task feature (e.g., color) is delayed by the presentation of task-irrelevant valent stimuli (e.g., negative pictures) compared to valence-neutral stimuli. Here we scrutinize ...

the linear adiabatic pulsation-periods of mira variable stars have been derived. approximately 2701[1]models were calculated for m = 0.7 mθ to 2 mθ stars with radii from 180 rθ to 340 rθ and luminosities from 2800 lθ to 10,000 lθ. the chemical composition of all models is (x,z) = (0.7,0.02). from the result of this study, linear relations on luminosity-period-mass relationship and luminosity-pe...

One of the core problems in analyzing queues with batch Markovian arrival pro-cesses is the efficient computation of the fundamental-period-matrix G. In order to provide additio-nal insights into the relationsships between the various determinative matrices of those systems, we show that certain commutativity properties lead to an elegant proof of the exponential form of the matrix G, and that ...

In this Paper, we have derived Cepheid period-luminosity (P-L) relations for the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) fundamental mode Cepheids, based on the data released from OGLE-III. We have applied an extinction map to correct for the extinction of these Cepheids. In addition to the V IW band P-L relations, we also include JHK and four Spitzer IRAC band P-L relations, derived by matching the OGLE-...

The aim of this study was to assess differences in fundamental motor skills (FMS) proficiency between boys and girls of each age group, independently, across the entire preschool period. Using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-second edition, FMS proficiency was tested in 325 preschoolers (4.9 ± 1.1 y, range 3-6) using a cross-sectional design. Compared to boys of the same age, 3- an...

The fundamental period is one of the most critical parameters for the seismic design of structures. There are several literature approaches for its estimation which often conflict with each other, making their use questionable. Furthermore, the majority of these approaches do not take into account the presence of infill walls into the structure despite the fact that infill walls increase the st...
