A fully ionized plasma is assumed. T o this plasma cylindrically-symmetric magnetic fields are applied, thus causing a pinch collapse. The plasma is treated in hydromagnetic approximation, including electric and thermal conductivity. Separate temperatures are assigned to the electrons and ions. Two schemes are developed for solving numerically the resulting system of six partial differential eq...

Bolzano’s definition of consequence in effect associates with each set X of symbols (in a given interpreted language) a consequence relation ⇒X . We present this in a precise and abstract form, in particular studying minimal sets of symbols generating ⇒X . Then we present a method for going in the other direction: extracting from an arbitrary consequence relation ⇒ its associated set C⇒ of cons...

Respiratory diseases are responsible for about a fifth of all deaths worldwide and its prevalence reaches 15% of the world population. Primary health care (PHC) is the gateway to the health system, and is expected to resolve up to 85% of health problems in general. Moreover, little is known about the diagnostic ability of general practitioners (GPs) in relation to respiratory diseases in PHC. T...

Inclusion analysis is the name given by Operis to a black box testing technique that it has found to make the checking of key financial ratios calculated by spreadsheet models quicker, easier and more likely to find omission errors than code inspection. 1 CALCULATE MORE THAN ONCE One approach among many [Pryor, 2004] [Panko, 2006] for improving the chance that a spreadsheet delivers the results...

Purpose This study aims to examine whether social inclusion policies promote financial inclusion. Three were analyzed: gender equality policies, environmental sustainability and protection (SP) policies. Design/methodology/approach The used the panel fixed effect regression methodology analyze data from 48 low- medium-income countries. Findings results show that do not have a significant on Als...

The slope and intercept of a non-linearmodel of the end-systolic pressure–volume relation (ESPVR) are calculated by using a previously derived mathematical formalism describing the pressure–volume relation (PVR) in the left ventricle. An important feature of this mathematical approach is the inclusion of the peak isovolumic pressure Pisom in the formalism describing the PVR in the left ventricl...

The task of implicit discourse relation classification has received increased attention in recent years, including two CoNNL shared tasks on the topic. Existing machine learning models for the task train on sections 2-21 of the PDTB and test on section 23, which includes a total of 761 implicit discourse relations. In this paper, we’d like to make a methodological point, arguing that the standa...

A universal relation connecting Fermi surface (FS) to the symmetry of the gap function in BCS-like superconductors is derived. It is found that the shape of the FS can be deduced directly from the symmetry of the superconducting gap function, and is also influenced by the next nearest-neighbor overlapping. The application of this relation to cuprate superconductors is discussed. There is observ...

The Lie product and the order relation are viewed as defining structures for Hamiltonian dynamical systems. Their admissible combinations are singled out by the requirement that the group of the Lie automorphisms be contained in the group of the order automorphisms (Lie algebras with invariant cones). Taking advantage of the reciprocal independence of the relevant structures, the inclusion rela...
