BACKGROUND Continuity is a fundamental tenet of primary care, and highly valued by patients; it may also improve patient outcomes and lower cost of health care. It is thus important to investigate factors that predict higher continuity. However, to date, little is known about the factors that contribute to continuity. The purpose of this study was to analyse practice, provider and patient predi...

Let  be a local Cohen-Macaulay ring with infinite residue field,  an Cohen - Macaulay module and  an ideal of  Consider  and , respectively, the Rees Algebra and associated graded ring of , and denote by  the analytic spread of  Burch’s inequality says that  and equality holds if  is Cohen-Macaulay. Thus, in that case one can compute the depth of associated graded ring of  as  In this paper we ...

According to the central limit theorem (CLT ), the distribution function Fn of a normalized sum n(X1 + ... + Xn) of n independent random variables X1, ..., Xn , having a common distribution with mean zero and variance σ 2 > 0, converges to the distribution function Φσ of the normal distribution with mean zero and variance σ, as n → ∞. We will write Φ for Φ1 for the case σ = 1. The densities of ...

In this paper we introduce a definition of gradation of continuity ingraded fuzzy topological spaces and study its various characteristic properties.The impact of the grade of continuity of mappings over the N-compactnessgrade is examined. Concept of gradation is also introduced in openness, closed-ness, homeomorphic properties of mappings and T2 separation axiom. Effectof the grades interrelat...

abstract in the past twenty-five years, the russian government has been faced with widespread corruption and despite many efforts it hasn’t been able to control that. according to transparency international report in 2013, this country was the 127th among 177 countries. this essay tries to analyze the role of administrative oligarchy and continuity of corruption in russia. the main question of ...

In this paper, ω-closed sets and ω-open sets are used to define and investigate a new class of functions. Relationships between this new class and other classes of functions are established.

This text is a further elaboration of the previous research report [5]. Graded properties of binary and unary connectives valued in MTL4-algebras are studied in the framework of Fuzzy Class Theory (or higher-order fuzzy logic) FCT, which serves as a tool for easy derivation of graded theorems. The properties studied include graded monotonicity, a generalized Lipschitz property, commutativity, a...
