Comments on the article "Joint principles: Integrating behavioral health care into the patient-centered medical home" (see record 2014-24217-011). The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) represents a mental health profession with a long track record in integrated primary care, particularly with family medicine. The authors begin by affirming several core themes in the j...

These notes discuss theorems on the existence, uniqueness and extension of solutions for ODEs. None of these results are original. The proofs of Theorems 1.2, 3.3 are contained in the textbook (although in a slightly different setting and with a slightly different language). The statement and proof of Theorem 1.1 are not in the textbook, although the textbook does contain a discussion of Euler’...

The core theorem on which the above paper is centred—that a perfectly conducting body of revolution absorbs no angular momentum from an axisymmetric electromagnetic wave field—is in fact a special case of a more general result in electromagnetic scattering theory. In addition, the scaling of the efficiency of transfer of angular momentum to an object with the wavelength and object size merits f...

I thank Charles Elkan for bringing into the open questions about fuzzy inferences that seem to bother him and others. I hope the result of this discussion will be a clearer understanding of many-valued logics in general, and fuzzy logic in particular. My comments address three topics: questions about Theorem 1, the “watermelon” example, and the issue of fuzzy logic in control. Much of the confu...

Abstract. Theorem 9.7 of the Lieb and Loss [2] is an extended version of Newton’s theorem and was cited in the authors’ previously published paper [1]. However, the statement of this theorem is incorrect for dimensions d ≤ 2. A couple of comments and, in particular, Figure 1 in the authors’ paper [1] are based on this theorem and are incorrect because of this reason. In this note we show anothe...

In Reply: We would like to thank Drs. van Schalkwyk and Kachhwah et al. for their comments concerning our article.1 Dr. van Schalkwyk reports that our statement “gabapentinoids are very well tolerated” is “an assertion contradicted by even the most enthusiastic of the three old meta-analyses [we] cite.” Our article cites five, not three, meta-analyses.2–6 These were not old, but were the most r...

The query optimization phase in query processing plays a crucial role in choosing the most efficient strategy for executing a query. In this paper, we study an optimization technique for SQL-Nested queries using Hints. Hints are additional comments that are inserted into an SQL statement for the purpose of instructing the optimizer to perform the specified operations. We utilize various Hints i...

Statement concerning this submission This submission is particularly concerned with the fundamental disciplines, especially mathematics and statistics, and their place within the Australian university system. Consideration of the situation of these disciplines with the university system leads to more general issues, including attitudes to research, cross-subsidisation, the objectives of teachin...
