In this paper, we are concerned with the symmetry and regularity of positive solutions of the following integral system: u(x) = ∫ Rn Gα (x–y)wr (y)vq(y) |y|β dy, v(x) = ∫ Rn Gα (x–y)up(y)wr (y) |y|β dy, w(x) = ∫ Rn Gα (x–y)up(y)vq(y) |y|β dy, where Gα (x) is the αth-order Bessel kernel, n≥ 3, 0≤ β < α < n, 1 < p,q, r < n–β β and 1 p+1 + 1 q+1 + 1 r+1 > 2n–α+β n . We show that every positive sol...

Let P(Rn) be the class of all exponents p for which the HardyLittlewood maximal operator M is bounded on Lp(·)(Rn). A recent result by T. Kopaliani provides a characterization of P in terms of the Muckenhoupttype condition A under some restrictions on the behavior of p at infinity. We give a different proof of a slightly extended version of this result. Then we characterize a weak type ( p(·), ...

In the United States, nursing programs are commonly evaluated by their graduates success on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN c ©). The purpose of this paper is to describe a change in NCLEX-RN c © success rates following the addition of standardized exams throughout our program’s curriculum, and to compare these exam scores between graduates who pass NC...

We discuss several results on asymptotic behavior and regularity for wave equations with nonlinear damping utt − ∆u + |ut|m−1ut = 0 in R+ × Rn, where m > 1. In particular, we show that ∇u ∈ Lm+1(I × Rn) for all initial data (u, ut)|t=0 ∈ H1(Rn) × L2(Rn) when m ≤ (n + 2)/n and I ⊂ R+ is a compact interval. We also consider global well-posedness in Sobolev spaces Hk(Rn)×Hk−1(Rn) for k > 2. The st...

We introduce the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra in Rn which we denote by FS(Rn). It is a subalgebra of the algebra of bounded uniformly continuous functions in Rn, BUC(Rn), strictly containing the almost periodic functions, whose elements are invariant by translations and possess a mean-value. Thus, it is a so called algebra with mean value, a concept introduced by Zhikov and Krivenko (1986). Namely...

(222)Rn is a radioactive, odorless, and colorless element which has a half-life of 3.83 days. One of (222)Rn main resources are Groundwater (wells, springs, etc.). Hence, the use of groundwater with high concentration of (222)Rn can increase the risk of lung and stomach cancers. Concentration of (222)Rn in tap water of Minab city in two temperatures 5 and 15 ºC was measured by radon meter model...

In the random geometric graph G(n,rn), n vertices are placed randomly in Euclidean d-space and edges added between any pair of distant at most rn from each other. We establish strong laws large numbers (LLNs) for a class parameters, evaluated G(n,rn) thermodynamic limit with nrnd= const., also dense nrnd→∞, rn→0. Examples include domination number, independence clique-covering eternal number tr...

We assessed the ability of cats to detect repeated noise (RN), a stimulus generated by seamlessly presenting short segments of white noise in a continuous loop, in a modified go-nogo task. A recent study of the gerbil suggested that animals might have an extremely limited ability to detect RN compared to human subjects. We find that cats can discriminate RN from continuous noise with reasonable...
