In this study we approach a mixed initial-boundary value problem to modeling a three-phase-lag dipolar thermoelastic body. The constitutive laws in this context are given. We establish a uniqueness result and prove a reciprocal theorem. The variational principle obtained in this context is a generalization of the known Gurtin's principle for classical elasticity.

The objective of this work was to explore the large number of bacterial growth models recently proposed in the field of predictive microbiology, concerning their capacity to give reliable estimates of the lag phase duration (lambda). We compared these models on the basis of their underlying biological explanations of the lag phenomenon, their mathematical formulation and their statistical fitti...

Investing in research and development spending (R&D) affects total factor productivity (TFP).Recently new theories of economic growth have emphasized the relationship between R&D and TFPand also identified a number of channels through which a country’s R&D affects TFP of its tradepartner. This study seeks to estimate the effect of agricultural R&D and education spending and someother factors on...

The aim of this study is to examine the nonlinear effects of fiscal and monetary policies on inflation during 1990:3 to 2013:1 based on threshold model. First lag of the liquidity growth is recognized as threshold variable with threshold value estimated at 6.37 percent. In low liquidity growth, the results indicate that inflation expectations and the lagged liquidity growth are the most importa...

TECHNICAL NOTES are short manuscripts describing new developments or important results of a preliminary nature. These Notes cannot exceed 6 manuscript pages and 3 figures; a page of text may be substituted for a figure and vice versa. After informal review by the editors, they may be published within a few months of the date of receipt. Style requirements are the same as for regular contributio...

Many studies have reported associations between air pollution and daily asthma occurrence. Those studies have not consistently specified the lag between exposure and response, especially multiple lags, although most have found associations that persisted for more than 1 day. A systematic approach to specifying the lag association would allow better comparison and give insight into the nature of...

introduction: it has been known for a long time in the french-speaking, but not the english-speaking literature that travel can exacerbate pre-existing psychosis. the purpose of this article was to review the literature on this subject and present recommendations for prevention. methods: for this narrative review of the literature on travel risks in individuals with pre-existing psychosis, appr...

Objective: In general, financial time series such as stock indexes have nonlinear, mutable and noisy behavior. Structural and statistical models and machine learning-based models are often unable to accurately predict series with such a behavior. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to present a new hybrid model using the advantages of the GMDH method and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic A...

Short-term health effects of ambient PM2.5 have been established with numerous studies, but evidence in Asian countries is limited. This study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of PM2.5 on acute health outcomes, particularly all-cause, cardiovascular, respiratory, cerebrovascular and neuropsychological outcomes. We utilized daily emergency ambulance dispatches (EAD) data from eight Ja...
