0. Introduction A number of mathematical techniques have been applied for solving nonlinear problems. Energy Balance [1–3], homotopy analysis [4], variational iteration [5], homotopy perturbation [6,7], the max–min approach [8,9], frequency amplitude formulation [10] and perturbation methods [11] are the most prominent approaches that those have been employed for solving a large number of nonli...

The author contends that sex differentials in childhood mortality in Pakistan are a likely outcome of son preference behavior by parents. Consideration is given to the historical improvement in the female disadvantage in mortality, the neglect of female children, gender and class factors, and son preference and high fertility. Data are from the 1981 Pakistan census and other official surveys....

În cadrul acestei lucrări sunt explorate soluţii de aplicare a specificaţiilor IEC 61499 în modelarea şi implementarea controlului de nivel înalt al holonilor. Conceptele IEC 61499 au fost utilizate ca o tehnologie suport pentru încapsularea controlului inteligent al holonilor, modelarea comunicaţiei interholonice şi configurarea dinamică a holonilor. Modelele şi teoriile propuse au fost valida...

Normal (IMR-90) and SV40-transformed (VA-13) human embryo cells were treated with 8-carbamoyl-3-(2-chloroethyl)imidazo[5,1-d] -1,2,3,5-tetrazin-4(3H)-one (M&B 39565), and the effects of the drug on cell viability and cellular DNA integrity were studied. The effects of M&B 39565 were compared with one of its potential decomposition products 5-[3-(2-chloroethyl)triazen-1 -yl]imidazole-4-carboxami...
