The problem of semi-cardinal spline interpolation was solved by Schoenberg exploiting the piecewise polynomial form of the splines. In the present paper, we propose a new construction for the Lagrange functions of semi-cardinal spline interpolation , based on a radial basis and Fourier transform approach. This approach suggests a way of extending semi-cardinal interpolation to polyharmonic spli...

We present semi-implicit (IMEX) formulations of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) for applications in nonhydrostatic atmospheric modeling. The compressible NSE in nonhydrostatic atmospheric modeling include buoyancy terms that require special handling if one wishes to extract the Schur complement form of the linear implicit problem. We present results for five different forms of th...

We study consequences of stationary and semi-stationary set reflection. We show that the semi-stationary reflection principle implies the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis, the failure of weak square principle, etc. We also consider two cardinal tree properties introduced recently by Weiss and prove that they follow from stationary and semi-stationary set reflection augmented with a weak form of Mar...

Water droplets or mist occur naturally in the air at seashores. These water droplets carry inorganic and organic substances from the sea to the land via the air, creating fertile land in sandy coastal areas (1). The same phenomenon occurs in an air-fluidized bed bioreactor (2). In an air-fluidized bed reactor, proteins can be transferred from the bioreactor semisolid bulk phase to an enriched d...

BACKGROUND It is important to know the impact of health education on community. This may lead to improve the programs, commitment to students and staffs by taking feedback. These activities are aimed at producing changes in the community. OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of health education as intervention program during Family Health Exercise (FHE) about the knowledge and practice of people re...

In this paper we deal with the problem of computing Lyapunov functions for stability verification of differential systems. We concern on symbolic methods and start the discussion with a classical quantifier elimination model for computing Lyapunov functions in a given polynomial form, especially in quadratic forms. Then we propose a new semi-algebraic method by making advantage of the local pro...

We describe representations of certain superconformal algebras in the semi-infinite Weil complex related to the loop algebra of a complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra and in the semi-infinite cohomology. We show that in the case where the Lie algebra is endowed with a nondegenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form, the relative semi-infinite cohomology of the loop algebra has a structure, wh...

This study addressed the ability of Mycobacterium bovis to produce unusual extreme morphologic forms (cell wall-deficient or L-forms) under stress conditions. Models using nutrient starvation and cryogenic stress treatments of Mycobacterium bovis, as well as the filtration technique followed by cultivation in semisolid medium, were used for isolation of L-form variants. Morphological transforma...

INTRODUCTION:  Novel semisolids are non greasy since they are made up of water washable bases. Hence they cause less irritation to skin and are superior to conventional semisolid dosage form.  Novel creams now a days are provided with nanoparticles and microspheres, which has an excellent emollient effect, with better spreadability, and less staining than oleaginous ointments. However both me...
