We obtain KSS, Strichartz and certain weighted Strichartz estimate for the wave equation on (R, g), d ≥ 3, when metric g is non-trapping and approaches the Euclidean metric like 〈x〉 with ρ > 0. Using the KSS estimate, we prove almost global existence for quadratically semilinear wave equations with small initial data for ρ > 1 and d = 3. Also, we establish the Strauss conjecture when the metric...

The purpose of this research was twofold. First, to determine if eight Multidimensional Health Locus of Control types hypothesized by Wallston and Wallston (1982) existed. Second, to assess the reliability, validity, and clinical utility of the control types. Two investigations were conducted based on research procedures designed for the discovery of clusters. The first study involved the deriv...

PURPOSE To report the presentation of a rare case of Kearns-Sayre-like syndrome (KSS) CASE: A 14-year-old boy presented with progressive drooping of both upper eyelids for 10 years. Past history of right sided hemi-plegia and left facial nerve palsy was present. Examination (OU) showed total external ophthalmoplegia, ptosis and pigmentary retinopathy. The patient also had a short stature (heigh...
