We extent our previous study on spherically symmetric braneworld solutions with induced gravity, including non-local bulk effects. We find the most general static four-dimensional black hole solutions with gtt = −g−1 rr . They satisfy a closed system of equations on the brane and represent the strong-gravity corrections to the Schwarzschild-(A)dS4 spacetime. These new solutions have extra terms...

OBJECTIVES The "closed" in situ bypass results in a reduction of wound complications compared to the "open" technique. This advantage is partly diminished by extra costs for the "closed" procedure and a larger percentage of residual arteriovenous (AV)-fistulae. This aim of this study was to analyse costs related to "closed" and "open" procedures. METHODS The cost affecting parameters: (1) dur...

In the most general case the measurement of the links lengths of a 6 d.o.f parallel manipulator is not sufficient to determine the actual unique posture of its platform. We investigate how this posture can be determined by adding sensors to the manipulator. We show that by adding four sensors on the passive joints a unique closed-form solution of the posture of the endeffector can be obtained f...

For a string of pools with distant-downstream control, the internal time-delay for water transport from upstream to downstream does not only limit the local control performance of regulating water-levels at setpoints and rejecting offtake disturbances in each pool, but also impacts the global performance of managing the water-level error propagation and attenuating the amplification of control ...

It is well known that rather general mutation-recombination models can be solved algorithmically (though not in closed form) by means of Haldane linearization. The price to be paid is that one has to work with a multiple tensor product of the state space one started from. Here, we present a relevant subclass of such models, in continuous time, with independent mutation events at the sites, and ...

sera from ninety one patients clinically suspected to extra intestinal amoebiasis (ex-am) were collected and examined for presence of anti entamoeba histolytica (e.h) antibody. the tests were indirect immunofluorescence antibody, (ifa or iif), gel diffusion (gd) and counter immuno electrophoresis (ciep). thirty one patients (34%) had anti e.h. antibody titres of >1:80. among them eight patients...

BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty is associated with hematoma formation and extensive blood loss up to 1.5 liters. The placement of a closed suction drain to control this complication is controversial. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy between total knee arthroplasty without a drain and with a closed suction drain.  Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted betwe...

let $s$ be a monoid. in this paper, we prove every class of $s$-acts having a flatness property is closed underdirected colimits, it extends some known results. furthermore thisresult implies that every $s$-act has a flatness cover if and only if it has a flatness precover.
