A new monotonicity principle and an L stability theorem are es tablished for a discrete obstacle problem which is de ned by a piece wise linear nite element discretization of a continuous problem This discrete monotonicity principle extends the discrete maximum princi ple of Ciarlet from linear equations to obstacle problems As an application of the monotonicity principle and the L stability th...

There are an estimated 20,000 East Timorese people living in Australia. The majority came to Australia as refugees mainly between 1975 and 1995 fleeing first a civil war, then the violent Indonesian regime which invaded upon Portugal’s withdrawal from the tiny territory after 400 years of colonisation. Over the years, many members of the East Timorese refugee diaspora in Australia were active i...

We give a polynomial upper bound on the size of set systems with restricted t-wise intersections modulo prime powers. Let t ≥ 2. Let p be a prime and q = p be a prime power. Let L = {l1, l2, . . . , ls} be a subset of {0, 1, 2, . . . , q − 1}. If F is a family of subsets of an n element set X such that |F1 ∩ · · · ∩ Ft| (mod q) ∈ L for any collection of t distinct sets from F and |F | (mod q) /...

BACKGROUND Gigantomastia is a rare condition characterized by excessive breast growth and can be physically and psychosocially disabling for the patient. Regarding management of gigantomastia, this study evaluates the outcomes of superomedial pedicle with vertical scar or wise pattern skin excision. METHODS A total of 425 patients who underwent reduction mammoplasty in our institution ...
