We show how one can use Hermite-Padé approximation and little q-Jacobi polynomials to construct rational approximants for ζq(2). These numbers are qanalogues of the well known ζ(2). Here q = 1 p , with p an integer greater than one. These approximants are good enough to show the irrationality of ζq(2) and they allow us to calculate an upper bound for its measure of irrationality: μ (ζq(2)) ≤ 10...

Introduction Many intergovernmental and governmental organizations produce their own interfaces for statistical data. With the exception of the Common Database which combines select data from many of the United Nations’ independent agencies, there is typically little cooperation for integrating data between agencies. Some universities have chosen to produce their own interface to merge data int...

This is a complement to the comparison theorem for improper integrals in the textbook. The vanilla version presented in the textbook is good enough to solve some very easy examples and it becomes exponentially gory with the complexity of the integral. Fortunately it is not hard to refine the statement in the book, and turn it into a powerful tool to estimate the convergence of arbitrarily compl...

During the past decade there have been remarkable achievements in the immunopathogenesis of the inflammatory myopathies that laid the grounds for more eVective therapeutic interventions. This editorial summarises where we stand today in our understanding of these disorders and their treatment, identifies key biological issues that need further study, and considers possibilities of applying new ...

This is really the overarching question associated with model calibration: are the models good enough? But the question has to be asked in the framework of what the models will be asked to do, which is to evaluate remedial alternatives. (Problem identification is usually the first step in model evaluation; see, e.g., Ditmars et al., 1987.) The following sketch and discussion provide a framework...

Attachment theory is presented in this article as involving embodied relational processes within complex relational systems. Two narrative-like ‘events’ are re-presented to illustrate very young children playfully relating – connecting and communicating interand intrasubjectively. The ethnographic-inspired research methods included the researcher as a participant observer, an outsider, an other...

provided x is sufficiently large. An asymptotic formula of type (1) Df (x; q, a) = (1 +O((log x)))Df (x; q) , in which the error term is smaller than the main term by a suitable power of log x, is good enough for basic applications. More important than the size of the error term is the range where (1) holds uniformly with respect to the modulus q. In this paper we consider the problem for the d...

Aim. To conduct a detailed study of the requirements good distribution practice. Materials and methods. The analysis current Guidelines on practices (GxP), in particular Guideline ST-N 42-5.0:2014 Ministry Health Ukraine “Medicines. Good Distribution Practice” was performed. Interpretations for implementation practice based experience audits companies GDP compliance with were proposed. Results ...

this paper reviews the relationship between the rule of law, good governance, and sustainable development as those terms are used by the relevant development organizations; describes the efforts made by various organizations to promote the rule of law and good governance; and addresses the need to strengthen compliance and enforcement for sustainable development. a recent movement, which has re...
