In this article, we study the oscillation of second order forced impulsive differential equation with γ-Laplacian and nonlinearities given by Riemann-Stieltjes integrals of the form

Many studies have reported reference data for forced oscillation technique (FOT) in healthy children. The prediction equation of FOT parameters were derived from a multivariable regression model examining the effect of age, gender, weight and height on each parameter. As many of these variables are likely to be correlated, collinearity might have affected the accuracy of the model, potentially ...

This paper examines ‘functionally-based optimality theory’ (FOT), the version of optimality theory that requires that each constraint be paired with an external functional motivation. It argues that, at least as far as syntactic constraints are concerned, FOT suffers from severe deficiencies. Such a pairing incorrectly locates the form-function interplay in the mental grammar itself, rather tha...
