In this paper, the problem of calculating the stress intensity factor (SIF) for an orthotropic thick-walled cylinder with a small radial crack subject to internal pressure is considered. The crack is assumed to be an edge crack on the external radius of the cylinder. The stress intensity factor is calculated by superposition of an uncracked cylinder with uniform stress distribution and a cylind...

a man with metastatic carcinoma of the colon had a bone scan which revealed urinary retention in the leftkidney. ten months later, a tc-99m-dtpa renai glomerular study showed the left kidney to have only 8% oftotal renal function. fifteen months after that, (he same kidney demonstrated 9% of total function, while theright kidney had evolving obstruction due to his neoplasm. the case shows that ...

In this paper we study the problem of meromorphic function sharing one small function with its derivative and improve the results of K.-W. Yu and I. Lahiri and answer the open questions posed by K.-W. Yu.

let $m_r$ be a module with $s=end(m_r)$. we call a submodule $k$ of $m_r$ annihilator-small if $k+t=m$, $t$ a submodule of $m_r$, implies that $ell_s(t)=0$, where $ell_s$ indicates the left annihilator of $t$ over $s$. the sum $a_r(m)$ of all such submodules of $m_r$ contains the jacobson radical $rad(m)$ and the left singular submodule $z_s(m)$. if $m_r$ is cyclic, then $a_r(m)$ is the unique ...

We consider a pie-splitting game involving three committee members. In response to the large literature on sequential procedures in this type of game, we propose an institution that is inspired by auction theory. The (sealed) bids of the players are proposals for a distribution of the pie and are given simultaneously. If any of the bids is preferred to all others in a pairwise comparison (i.e. ...
