The study was conducted to identify the role of women farmers’ credit needs, using Imbulpe (Divisional Secretariat) DS Division in Sri Lanka. As sample size 238 farmers were selected from seven (Grama Niladhari) GN divisions area. This areas and level needed by farmers. And also, agricultural sources identified. Women simple random sampling method. Questionnaire Survey used as data collection m...

We give a complete picture regarding the asymptotic periodicity of positive solutions of the following difference equation: xn = f (xn−p1 , . . . ,xn−pk ,xn−q1 , . . . ,xn−qm), n∈N0, where pi, i ∈ {1, . . . ,k}, and qj , j ∈ {1, . . . ,m}, are natural numbers such that p1 < p2 < ··· < pk, q1 < q2 < ··· < qm and gcd(p1, . . . , pk,q1, . . . ,qm) = 1, the function f ∈ C[(0,∞), (α,∞)], α > 0, is i...

We study definability of second-order generalized quantifiers. We show that the question whether a second-order generalized quantifier Q1 is definable in terms of another quantifier Q2, the base logic being monadic second-order logic, reduces to the question if a quantifier Q1 is definable in FO(Q2, <,+,×) for certain first-order quantifiers Q1 and Q2. We use our characterization to show new de...

In this paper we consider the inventory problem with backorder such that both order and total demand quantities are triangular fuzzy numbers Q̃ = (q1, q0, q2), and R̃ = (r1, r0, r2) respectively, where q1 = q0−Δ1, q2 = q0+Δ2,r1 = r0−Δ3, r2 = r0+Δ4 such that 0 < Δ1 < q0, 0 < Δ2, 0 < Δ3 < r0, 0 < Δ4. Let s denote the maximum inventory quantity. Under conditions s ≤ q1 < q0 < q2 < r1 < r0 < r2, we f...

Definition 1. We say that the partial order P is a projection of the partial order Q and denote this by P Q, if there is an onto mapping π : Q→ P which is order preserving and such that ∀q ∈ Q∀p ∈ P s.t. π(q) ≤ p there is q′ ∈ Q (q ≤Q q′) ∧ (π(q) = p). Furthermore whenever π(q) ≤ p there is a condition q1 in Q which is usually denoted p + q such that q ≤ q1 and for every r ∈ Q such that p ≤ π(r...

Human I(Ks) channels activate slowly with the onset of cardiac action potentials to repolarize the myocardium. I(Ks) channels are composed of KCNQ1 (Q1) pore-forming subunits that carry S4 voltage-sensor segments and KCNE1 (E1) accessory subunits. Together, Q1 and E1 subunits recapitulate the conductive and kinetic properties of I(Ks). How E1 modulates Q1 has been unclear. Investigators have va...
