1 Characteristic 0 We start with a basic question: given a polynomial f ∈ C[z1, · · · , zn] with a singularity at 0, how can we measure the “singularness” of this polynomial in a precise way? In other words: we can look at various singularities and see intuitively that some singularities are worse than others. For instance, it feels like a transverse self-intersection is probably not as bad as ...

This with the integration of distributed generation (DG) to meshed distribution systems, the operating time of the protective system becomes a major concern in order to avoid nuisance DG tripping. This paper proposes a new tripping characteristic for directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs) that can achieve a higher possible reduction of overall relays operating time in meshed distribution networ...

Many large-scale surveys measure subjective well-being (SWB) through a single survey item. This paper takes advantages of response time data to explore the relation between time taken to answer a single SWB item and the reliability and validity of answers to this SWB item. We found that reliability and validity of answers to the SWB item are low for fast respondents aged 70 and above and slow r...

Parenting style experienced during childhood has profound effects on children's futures. Scales developed in other countries have never been validated in the Tibetan context. The present study aimed to examine the construct validity and reliability of a Tibetan translation of the 23-item short form of the Egna Minnen Beträffande Uppfostran [One's Memories of Upbringing] (s-EMBU) and to test the...

One special subalgebra of the algebra of fuzzy truth values is the set of those elements that take only 0 and 1 as values. This subalgebra is in one-to-one correspondence with the subsets of the unit interval, but the operations do not correspond to ordinary union and intersection. The automorphisms of this subalgebra are studied here, resulting in showing that the subobjects corresponding to n...

extractin any era to the present era, risk of changes of family and their adverse effects are not studied and also these adverse effects are now more than any time. statistics show that each year the number of divorce will increase and there is the risk for many families. so, after the second world war ii the rate of divorce is not lower from average of 400,000 cases. the result of research in ...

background: cryptosporidiumis known as an opportunist disease-causing agent in man in recent decades. it causes diarrhea and intestinal disorders in the immune deficit and immune competent individuals. this study was aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of hiv/aids patients withcryptosporidiosisinfection. methods: this cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 53 hiv/aids ...

in this paper, some results of singh, gopalakrishna and kulkarni (1970s) have been extended to higher order derivatives. it has been shown that, if $sumlimits_{a}theta(a, f)=2$ holds for a meromorphic function $f(z)$ of finite order, then for any positive integer $k,$ $t(r, f)sim t(r, f^{(k)}), rrightarrowinfty$ if $theta(infty, f)=1$ and $t(r, f)sim (k+1)t(r, f^{(k)}), rrightarrowinfty$ if $th...

this paper uses the tsuji’s characteristic to investigate the uniqueness of transcen- dental meromorphic function with shared values in an angular domain dealing with the multiple values which improve a result of j. zheng.

While five-factor models of personality are widespread, there is still not universal agreement on this as a structural framework. Part of the reason for the lingering debate is its dependence on factor analysis. In particular, derivation or refutation of the model via other statistical means is a worthwhile project. In this paper we use the methodology of spectral clustering to articulate the s...
