coagulation factors were detectable. Levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen and fibrinogen were high, but the functional property of vWF assessed by ristocetin cofactor activity (vWF:RCo) assay reached 30% of that of normal reference plasma only. The possibility of inhibitor-induced AvWD was confirmed by a subsequent inhibition test. We mixed the patient’s plasma and pooled normal plasma...

‎Let $R$ be a ring‎ ‎with the Jacobson radical $J(R)$ and let $picolon Rto R/J(R)$ be‎ the canonical map‎. ‎Then $pi$ induces an order preserving group homomorphism‎ ‎$K_0picolon K_0(R)to K_0(R/J(R))$ and an‎ ‎affine continuous map $S(K_0pi)$ between the state space $St(R/J(R))$ and the‎ ‎state space $St(R).$‎ ‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider the natural affine map $S(K_0pi).$ We give a condition ...

We consider exponentially small expansions present in the asymptotics of the generalised hypergeometric function, or Wright function, pΨq(z) for large |z| that have not been considered in the existing theory. Our interest is principally with those functions of this class that possess either a finite algebraic expansion or no such expansion and with parameter values that produce exponentially sm...

We prove new Lp affine isoperimetric inequalities for all p ∈ [−∞, 1). We establish, for all p 6= −n, a duality formula which shows that Lp affine surface area of a convex body K equals Ln2 p affine surface area of the polar body K◦.

The five parameter gamma–Weibull distribution has been introduced by Leipnik and Pearce (2004). Nadarajah and Kotz (2007) have simplified it into four parameter form, using hypergeometric functions in some special cases. We show that the probability distribution function, all moments of positive order and the characteristic function of gamma–Weibull distribution of a random variable can be expl...

In terms of Wright generalized hypergeometric function we define a class of analytic functions. The class generalize well known classes of k-starlike functions and k-uniformly convex functions. Necessary and sufficient coefficient bounds are given for functions in this class. Further distortion bounds, extreme points and results on partial sums are investigated.

Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) are new generations of public key cryptosystems that have a smaller key size for the same level of security. The exponentiation on elliptic curve is the most important operation in ECC, so when the ECC is put into practice, the major problem is how to enhance the speed of the exponentiation. It is thus of great interest to develop algorithms for exponentiation...

We construct a simple model of monetary exchange where, as in Lagos and Wright (2003), trades take place in both centralized and decentralized markets. However, in constrast to Lagos and Wright, we allow for general preferences and introduce nonconvexities (indivisiblities) and sunspots. In the centralized market, agents can trade statecontingent commodities. We show that nonconvexities and sun...

‎let $v$ be a vector space over a field $f$ of characteristic $pgeq 0$ and let‎ ‎$t$ be a regular subgroup of the affine group $agl(v)$‎. ‎in the finite dimensional case we show that‎, ‎if $t$ is abelian or $p>0$‎, ‎then $t$ is unipotent‎. ‎for $t$ abelian‎, ‎pushing forward some ideas used in [a‎. ‎caranti‎, ‎f‎. ‎dalla volta and m‎. ‎sala‎, ‎abelian regular subgroups of the affine group and r...

In this paper we study pattern avoidance for affine permutations. In particular, we show that for a given pattern p, there are only finitely many affine permutations in S̃n that avoid p if and only if p avoids the pattern 321. We then count the number of affine permutations that avoid a given pattern p for each p in S3, as well as give some conjectures for the patterns in S4.
