Hadamard (or complete $CAT(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. Here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. Our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real Hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on Ha...

introduction: providing the material for penile reconstruction after release of chordee associated with hypospadias is challenging. we have used the preputial vascularized island flap for this purpose. we report the results of this prospective study. materials and methods: one hundred and twelve boys ranging from 13 months to 12 years of age were enrolled in this study. the location of meatus r...

in order to present a quantitative indicator for the onset of instability, in this paper, the critical points of a stratified gravitational flow on a slope are found and analyzed. these points are obtained by means of the solution of the two-dimensional navier-stokes equations via the standard arakawa-c finite-difference method. results show that in the marginal richardson numbers, the critical...

soil slopes are sometimes curved in plan rather than being straight. this curvature,especially when it is convex, decreases the bearing capacity of the slope. finite element methodhas been used here in this research to investigate the reducing effect of curvature on bearingcapacity of a slope. failure of soil has been assumed to be according to mohr-coulomb criteria;but the flow rule of the soi...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the correlation between accuracy of root zx electronic foramen locator and root canal curvature. methods and materials: one hundred and ten extracted mandibular molars were selected. access cavity was prepared and coronal enlargement of mesiobuccal canal was performed. a #10 flexofile was inserted into the mesiobuccal canal, and a rad...
