This paper establishes a unified framework for the a posteriori error analysis of a large class of nonconforming finite element methods. The theory assures reliability and efficiency of explicit residual error estimates up to data oscillations under the conditions (H1)-(H2) and applies to several nonconforming finite elements: the Crouzeix-Raviart triangle element, the Han parallelogram element...

In this paper we apply the innovative Laplace transformation method introduced by Sheen, Sloan, and Thomée (IMA J. Numer. Anal., 2003) to solve the Black-Scholes equation. The algorithm is of arbitrary high convergence rate and naturally parallelizable. It is shown that the method is very efficient for calculating various option prices. Existence and uniqueness properties of the Laplace transfo...

Assessment of potential ecological risk to benthic organisms inhabiting these sediments is often necessary to determine risk-based remedial cleanup goals. In some cases, these ecological risk assessments (ERAs) can be relatively straightforward, focusing only on the visual presence of tar or sheen in sediment cores or on PAH concentrations linked to unacceptable risk thresholds. However, ERAs c...

پژوهش حاضر به بررسی این مسأله می‌پردازد که چگونه نوعِ متد آموزشی می‌تواند بر میزان اضطراب زبانی دانشجویان زبان‌های خارجی تأثیر بگذارد. یک گروه 40 نفره از دختر و پسر در سطح پیش‌دانشگاهی به‌عنوان جامعه آماری انتخاب شدند. آموزش زبان فرانسه دو هفته‌ی اول، طریق گرامر-ترجمه انجام شد. پایان هفته تست تعیین مقیاس کلاس خارجی: FLCAS، بعمل آمد. دوم نوع رویکرد کنشی تغییر یافت. پس مجدداً فراگیران نتایج حاصله ن...

SUMMARY A preterm neonate, born to consanguineous parents, presented with respiratory distress, intracerebral hemorrhage, and a silvery-gray sheen of the hair and eyelashes. Griscelli syndrome (GS) type 3 was diagnosed after the detection of a novel homozygous mutation of the melanophilin gene. Thus, only the hypopigmentation, but not the patient's other clinical features, were attributable to ...
