In A.Z. v. B.Z. (2000), the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts in Boston, Massachusetts, affirmed a lower court?s decision, ruling that contracts that require a party to become a parent against his or her will are unenforceable and contrary to public policy. The case centered around A.Z. and B.Z., a divorced couple who had previously used in vitro [4] fertilization [5] (IVF) to start a fam...

‎In this paper we characterize Bergman spaces with‎ ‎respect to double integral of the functions $|f(z)‎ ‎-f(w)|/|z-w|$,‎ ‎$|f(z)‎ -‎f(w)|/rho(z,w)$ and $|f(z)‎ ‎-f(w)|/beta(z,w)$,‎ ‎where $rho$ and $beta$ are the pseudo-hyperbolic and hyperbolic metrics‎. ‎We prove some necessary and sufficient conditions that implies a function to be...

Given a set of multidimensional data points, skyline query retrieves a set of data points that are not dominated by any other points. This query is useful for multi-preference analysis and decision making. By analyzing the skyline query, we observe a close connection between Z-order curve and skyline processing strategies and propose to use a new index structure called ZBtree, to index and stor...

‎Let $p(z)=z^s h(z)$ where $h(z)$ is a polynomial‎ ‎of degree at most $n-s$ having all its zeros in $|z|geq k$ or in $|z|leq k$‎. ‎In this paper we obtain some new results about the dependence of $|p(Rz)|$ on $|p(rz)| $ for $r^2leq rRleq k^2$‎, ‎$k^2 leq rRleq R^2$ and for $Rleq r leq k$‎. ‎Our results refine and generalize certain well-known polynomial inequalities‎.

One studies the $HX$-hypergroups, corresponding to the Chinese hypergroups associated with the direct products of some ${bf Z}/n {bf Z},$ calculating their fuzzy grades.

Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...
