background: we aimed to compare the effect of albumin 5% in half normal saline (half ns) versus normal saline (ns) infusion on the plasma viscosity in the near-normal physiological condition. according to the high oncotic pressure of albumin along with prolonged half-life of its molecules in comparison to ns in the intra-vascular compartment, it has been proposed that a more significant reducti...

in proposition 2.6 in (g‎. ‎gruenhage‎, ‎a‎. ‎lutzer‎, ‎baire and volterra spaces‎, ‎textit{proc‎. ‎amer‎. ‎math‎. ‎soc.} {128} (2000)‎, ‎no‎. ‎10‎, ‎3115--3124) a condition that‎ ‎every point of $d$ is $g_delta$ in $x$ was overlooked‎. ‎so we‎ ‎proved some conditions by which a baire space is equivalent to a‎ ‎volterra space‎. ‎in this note we show that if $x$ is a‎ ‎monotonically normal $t_1$...

in this descriptive study, we investigated how mother and infant rooming method after delivery are implementing in academic hospitals of tehran university of medical sciences in 1993. in this research, fifteen wards include post delivery ward, surgical ward that mothers after cesarean section hospitalized in them and jointed ward that mothers who underwent cesarean section and normal vaginal de...

We study the magnetic Laplacian in the case when the Neumann boundary contains an edge. We provide complete asymptotic expansions in powers of h of the low lying eigenpairs in the semiclassical limit h→ 0. In order to get our main result we establish a general method based on a normal form procedure, microlocal arguments, the Feshbach-Grushin reduction and the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.

Representation and reasoning about dynamic spatial phenomena requires at its foundation a formalism of spatial change. This paper extends our understanding of topological change, by providing a classification and analysis of events associated with changes in topological structures of spatial areal objects as they evolve through time. Tree structures are employed to represent topological relatio...

The centrepiece of this paper is a normal form for primitive elements which facilitates the use of induction arguments to prove properties of primitive elements. The normal form arises from an elementary algorithm for constructing a primitive element p in F(x, y) with a given exponent sum pair (X, Y ), if such an element p exists. Several results concerning the primitive elements of F(x, y) are...

Using an appropriate notion of equivalence, those classical Hamiltonian systems which admit a first integral of motion polynomial of degree one in momentum are classified. The classification is effected by means of finding a normal form for a skew-symmetric matrix under the action of orthogonal symmetry.

Although the history of a scientific discipline should be studied regardless of which year and anniversary it is, with an attention to the idea development, the interdependence of various topics and problems etc., a jubilee can represent a good opportunity to remind some important events that influenced the forthcoming development, or to find some new and unnoticed relations. Coincidentally, in...

Let f(x 1 ; : : : ; x n ) = _ I2F ^ i2I x i and g(x 1 ; : : : ; x n ) = _ I2G ^ i2I x i be a pair of dual monotone irredundant disjunctive normal forms, where F and G are the sets of the prime implicants of f and g, respectively. For a variable x i ; i = 1; : : : ; n, let i = #fI 2 F ji 2 Ig=jF j and i = #fI 2 Gji 2 Ig=jGj be the frequencies with which x i occurs in f and g. It is easily seen t...

We investigate the dynamic stochastic multicriteria decision making (SMCDM) problems, in which the criterion values take the form of log-normally distributed random variables, and the argument information is collected from different periods. We propose two new geometric aggregation operators, such as the log-normal distribution weighted geometric (LNDWG) operator and the dynamic log-normal dist...
