This paper presents the complete algorithm of site response analysis of nonhomogeneous topographic structures using transient two-dimensional boundary element method (BEM). Seismic behaviour of various topographic features including canyon, half plane, sedimentary filled valley and ridge sections, subjected to incident SV and P waves are analysed. The analysis shows the efficiency of the propos...

We identified a novel repeat family, termed Platy-1, in the Callithrix jacchus (common marmoset) genome that arose around the time of the divergence of platyrrhines and catarrhines and established itself as a repeat family in New World monkeys (NWMs). A full-length Platy-1 element is ∼100 bp in length, making it the shortest known short interspersed element (SINE) in primates, and harbors featu...

The author reports a very rare case of spindle cell carcinoma of the common bile duct with an emphasis on immunohistochemical features. A 65-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of jaundice. Imaging modalities revealed a tumor of the common bile duct, and bile cytology demonstrated malignant cells. A pancreatico-duodenectomy was performed. Grossly, an elevated tumor (15 × 10 × 3 mm...

Exogenous P supplementation is a common element of treatment regimens for infertility, particularly those relating to the assisted reproductive technologies.

We introduce a new iterative scheme by shrinking projection method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of generalized mixed equilibrium problems, the set of common solutions of variational inclusion problems with set-valued maximal monotone mappings and inverse-strongly monotone mappings, the set of solutions of fixed points for nonexpansive semigroups, and the set of common fi...

each two nonparallel elements of G cross each other. Obviously the conclusions of the theorem do not hold. The following example will show that the condition that no two elements of the collection G shall have a complementary domain in common is also necessary. In the cartesian plane let M be a circle of radius 1 and center at the origin, and iVa circle of radius 1 and center at the point (5, 5...

Measures of financial volatility exhibit clustering and persistence and can be jointly modeled as the element by element product of a vector of conditionally autoregressive scale factors and a multivariate i.i.d. innovation process (vector Multiplicative Error Model – vMEM). Since similar profiles are shared across measures, a restricted vMEM decomposes the conditional expected volatility into ...

In this paper, we introduce two iterative algorithms (one implicit algorithm and one explicit algorithm) for finding a common element of the solution set of a general system of variational inequalities for continuous monotone mappings and the fixed point set of a continuous pseudocontractive mapping in a Hilbert space. First, this system of variational inequalities is proven to be equivalent to...

In this paper, we introduce a viscosity iterative process, which converges strongly to a common element of the set of fixed points of a pseudo-contractive mapping and the set of solutions of a monotone mapping. We also prove that the common element is the unique solution of certain variational inequality. The strong convergence theorems are obtained under some mild conditions. The results prese...

In this article, we introduce a new general iterative method for finding a common element of the set of solutions generalized for mixed equilibrium problems, the set of solution for fixed point for nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions for the variational inclusions for b1, b2-inverse-strongly monotone mappings in a real Hilbert space. We prove that the sequence converges strongly to a...
