OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of a modified onlay island flap (MOIF) with that of the Mathieu urethroplasty for distal hypospadias repair. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a prospective randomised study, 60 patients with coronal, subcoronal and distal penile hypospadias, with a urethral plate width of ⩽6 mm, and minimal or no chordee, underwent either MOIF using a midline longitudinal outer preputi...

Standard methods of nonlinear dynamics are used to investigate the stability of particles, branes and D-branes of abelian Born–Infeld theory. In particular the equation of small fluctuations about the D–brane is derived and converted into a modified Mathieu equation and – complementing earlier low–energy investigations in the case of the dilaton–axion system – studied in the high–energy domain....

Humans move to the beat of music. Despite the ubiquity and early emergence of this response, some individuals report being unable to feel the beat in music. We report a sample of people without special training, all of whom were proficient at perceiving and producing the musical beat with the exception of one case ("Mathieu"). Motion capture and psychophysical tests revealed that people synchro...

Recently, there has been an explosion of interest in the study of Schrijdinger operators and Jacobi matrices with almost periodic potential (see, e.g., the review [ 161). The general belief is that generically the spectrum is a Cantor set, i.e., a nowhere dense perfect, closed set. Since it is easy to prove that the spectrum is closed and perfect (see, e.g., [2]), the key is to prove that the s...

The Mathieu’s series S(r) was considered firstly by É.L. Mathieu in 1890; its alternating variant S̃(r) has been recently introduced by Pogány et al. [12] where various bounds have been established for S, S̃. In this note we obtain new upper bounds over S(r), S̃(r) with the help of Hardy–Hilbert double integral inequality. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary: 26D15, 33E20.
