The rings considered in this article are commutative with identity $1neq 0$. By a proper ideal of a ring $R$,  we mean an ideal $I$ of $R$ such that $Ineq R$.  We say that a proper ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is a  maximal non-prime ideal if $I$ is not a prime ideal of $R$ but any proper ideal $A$ of $R$ with $ Isubseteq A$ and $Ineq A$ is a prime ideal. That is, among all the proper ideals of $R$,...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the importance of incorporating secondary care input to aid commissioning following National Health Service reforms which will see the replacement of Primary Care Trusts with Clinical Commissioning Groups; to determine barriers that might arise given that this issue had been raised during public consultations and to explore ways to improve this input. DESIGN Qualitat...

in this paper, the notion of maximal m-open set is introduced and itsproperties are investigated. some results about existence of maximal m-open setsare given. moreover, the relations between maximal m-open sets in an m-spaceand maximal open sets in the corresponding generated topology are considered.our results are supported by examples and counterexamples.

Thirty-four patients with Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma underwent therapeutic splenectomies to improve hematologic tolerance for chemotherapy. The mean age was 40 years; there were 16 males and 18 females. Fourteen had Hodgkin's disease, 19 had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and 1 had malignant histiocytosis. Nineteen had palpable splenomegaly, 19 had marrow involvement and 20 had splen...

Obtaining maximal benefit is usually the most important goal pursued by Grid resource/service provider. As providers and users being noncooperative inherently, it is a fundamental challenge to design a resource allocation strategy which seems to be fair. In order to adapt to large-scale Grid environment, we adopted a hierarchical grid structure with bundle tasks to describe the Grid system. A m...
