Quite a lot of works have been devoted to the problem modeling behavior thin-walled structures exposed an aggressive environment leading corrosive wear their surface. Researchers proposed fairly large set models wear, taking into account influence various factors on kinetics corrosion (time, material, temperature, nature environment, stress-strain state structure). Moreover, different authors o...

A function J defined on a family C of stationary processes is finitely observable if there is a sequence of functions sn such that sn(x1 . . . xn) → J(X ) in probability for every process X =(xn) ∈ C. Recently, Ornstein and Weiss proved the striking result that if C is the class of aperiodic ergodic finite valued processes, then the only finitely observable isomorphism invariant defined on C is...

The research problem is the existence of symbolic violence against private school students through stereotypes. purpose study was to analyze negative stereotypes as a means violence. This conducted using mixed method concurrent embedded in 10 schools and 6 public schools. Qualitative informants many 43 people were determined purposive sampling while 301 quantitative respondents random sampling....

Unlike standard statistical approaches to forecasting, prediction of individual sequences does not impose any probabilistic assumption on the data-generating mechanism. Yet, prediction algorithms can be constructed that work well for all possible sequences, in the sense that their performance is always nearly as good as the best forecasting strategy in a given reference class. In this report, t...

Purpose – This paper aims to outline the fundamental assumptions regarding the laddering methodology (Reynolds and Gutman), examine how some “hard” laddering approaches meet or violate these assumptions, provide a review and comparison of a series of studies using “soft” and “hard” laddering approaches to examine the hierarchical structure of means-end theory, and assess if the discrepant concl...

We investigate the growth of the number wk of walks of length k in undirected graphs as well as related inequalities. We provide an insight into the relations between certain combinatorial properties of graphs and (spectral) algebraical characterizations in terms of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix. We show that the inequality w2a · w2(a+b+c) ≥ w2a+c · w2(a+b)+c is valid for...

Successful long-term management of primary gout in the presence of normal renal function may be achieved in most instances by agents which diminish tubular reabsorption of urates, thus permitting increased urinary urate excretion. In recent years the two most widely used uricosuric agents have been probenecid and sulphinpyrazone. The easiest longterm control of gout with the fewest untoward sid...

Recent determinations of serum phosphatase activity in patients with cancer (1, 2, 3) suggest that values obtained in cases with widespread osteoplastic metastases are, in general, significantly higher than those found in association with osteolytic metastases. In the series reported by Gutman, Tyson and Gutman (1), for example, the serum phosphatase activity exceeded 10 Bodansky units per 100 ...
