Some oscillation criteria are given for the second order matrix differential system Y ′′ +Q(t)Y = 0, where Y and Q are n× n real continuous matrix functions with Q(t) symmetric, t ∈ [t0,∞). These results improve oscillation criteria recently discovered by Erbe, Kong and Ruan by using a generalized Riccati transformation V (t) = a(t){Y ′(t)Y −1(t) + f(t)I}, where I is the n × n identity matrix, ...

A device has a better failure rate at specific age t0 property, denoted by BFR-t0 if its r(t) increases for t≤t0 and t>t0, is not less than value t0. test statistic proposed to exponentiality versus based on randomly right censored sample of size n. Kaplan-Meier estimator used estimate the empirical life distribution. Properties are measured power estimates, estimated risks, normality. The e...

and Applied Analysis 3 where c0 0, ci n n − 1 · · · n − i 1 , and cn n!. Since τ > 0, ∫ t t0 x s ds ∫ t τ t0 τ x s − τ ds, 2.5 we have ∫ t τ t0 τ x s − τ ds ≥ ∫ t t0 τ x s − τ ds. 2.6 This together with 2.4 and 2.5 yield ∫ t t0 t − s e s ds ≥ − n−1 ∑ i 0 ci t − t0 n−ix n−i−1 t0 − cn ∫ t0 τ t0 x s − τ ds ∫ t t0 [ cnx s − τ − t − s q s x s − τ ] ds. 2.7 For given t and s t > s , set F x cnx − t −...

BACKGROUND Clinical symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) improve in the course of the day, as can synovitis activity, reported via doppler ultrasound (US). The aim of the study was to establish whether the Color Doppler (CD) scores of synovitis in RA changes throughout the day. METHODS In total, 27 patients with active RA, including 14 patients receiving corticosteroids were studied. US eval...

OBJECTIVE Research into surfactant solutions for the debridement of chronic wounds suggests that surfactants may support wound bed preparation (WBP) in chronic wounds, however their efficacy has not been evaluated in randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Our aim was to assess the clinical efficacy of a propylbetaine-polihexanide (PP) solution versus normal saline (NS) solution in WBP, assessing ...

Nutrition is the major crucial factor determining potential of cultured fish to exhibit its genetic capability for growth. In this study, impact dietary vitamin E supplementation feed on growth performance, conversion ratio and protein efficiency Gangetic Mystus (Mystus cavasius, Hamilton, 1822) were investigate. Total 150 number young M. cavasius (weight 33.0±10.0 g) used CRD (completely rando...
