Let $L$ be a completely regular frame and $mathcal{R}L$ be the ‎ring of continuous real-valued functions on $L$‎. ‎We show that the‎ ‎lattice $Zid(mathcal{R}L)$ of $z$-ideals of $mathcal{R}L$ is a‎ ‎normal coherent Yosida frame‎, ‎which extends the corresponding $C(X)$‎ ‎result of Mart'{i}nez and Zenk‎. ‎This we do by exhibiting‎ ‎$Zid(mathcal{R}L)$ as a quotient of $Rad(mathcal{R}L)$‎, ‎the‎ ‎...

Due to its constantly growing incidence, obesity is an increasingly serious social and medical problem. Available data on the use of novel oral anticoagulants in morbidly obese and obese patients are very limited. However, we tried to summarize the available knowledge on the use of anticoagulants in this subpopulation of patients in everyday clinical practice. Studies on the clinical use of ant...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the current and ideal body weight perceptions of schoolchildren in relation to their actual body weight and socio-economic status (SES). DESIGN Baseline evaluation of schoolchildren from January 2008 to April 2008 as part of a 3-year longitudinal study. SETTING City and non-city locations, Karnataka State, South India. SUBJECTS Schoolchildren (n 1877) aged between 8 ...

Although the burgeoning discipline of welfare economics is based on essentially utilititarian principles, the foundations of utilitarianism have received little attention in recent years. This paper seeks to reopen the debate by drawing a distinction between Harsanyi’s two defences of utilitarianism, labeling the first a teleological or ideal-observer theory, and the second a nonteleological th...

This research makes use of the Method for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution, also known as TOPSIS approach, in order discover most suitable site a company's warehouse. Following establishment criteria selection warehouse location, weights were allotted each criteria. The min-max method was utilized do data normalization once it had been collected prospective location. After const...

Detached eclipsing binary stars provide a robust one-step distance determination to nearby galaxies. As a by-product of Galactic microlensing searches, catalogs of thousands of variable stars including eclipsing binaries have been produced by the OGLE, MACHO and EROS collaborations. We present photometric solutions for detached eclipsing binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) discovered b...

A class of stretched solutions of the equations for three-dimensional, incompressible, ideal magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) is studied. In Elsasser variables, V ± = U ± B, these solutions have the form V ± = (v±, v± 3 ) where v± = v±(x, y, t) and v± 3 (x, y, z, t) = zγ±(x, y, t) + β±(x, y, t). Twodimensional partial differential equations for γ±, v± and β± are obtained that are valid in a tubular ...
