in this note we review a simple criterion, due to ekedahl, for superspecial curves defined over finite fields.using this we generalize and give some simple proofs for some well-known superspecial curves.

Hazard rate of the Inverse Gaussian distribution is utilized for finding the critical maximum of the curves which are described in the application part. Here lung function measurements (FEV1) during the four study days in children with exercise challenge, histamine challenge and on control day were analyzed. The curves are analyzed by using the Mathematical Model and the results have been obtai...

We present a new archeointensity database application that stores data of the Earth’s magnetic field intensity for the last 7000 years. Our application allows users to query and rank data according to selectable criteria. It is also possible to plot the data as archeointensity curves. Users can access the database using any Web browser and see the results of their queries immediately on the scr...

Recent advancements in the area of structural dynamics have allowed civil engineers to better understand and control the response of structures to natural hazards, such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The social and economic impacts of natural disasters are continually increasing due to population growth and increasing number of older buildings with time. Through hazard mitigation engineers are ...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to demonstrate the protective effect on mortality among participants of a health education program, Brain-Oriented Obesity Control System (BOOCS). METHODS A quasi-experimentally designed, 15-year (1993 to 2007) follow-up study was conducted with a total of 13,835 male and 7791 female Japanese workers. They were divided into three groups: participants in the program (...
