The use of information boards tends to be regulated in many heritage sites preserve these cultural places. Although augmented reality (AR) has become a major approach for reducing negative experiences due restrictions, limited studies have been conducted understand the effect AR experiential value on destination-related behavior. Accordingly, current work aims investigate how multidimensional c...

OBJECTIVE The attributable risk (AR), which represents the proportion of cases who can be preventable when we completely eliminate a risk factor in a population, is the most commonly used epidemiological index to assess the impact of controlling a selected risk factor on community health. The goal of this paper is to develop and search for good interval estimators of the AR for case-control stu...

The Lane-Emden equation has been used to model several phenomenas in theoretical physics, mathematical physics and astrophysics such as the theory of stellar structure. This study is an attempt to utilize the collocation method with the Rational Chebyshev of Second Kind function (RSC) to solve the Lane-Emden equation over the semi-infinit interval [0,+∞). According to well-known results and com...

Bonding disorders towards their child has been recognized as a serious problem, which might lead to give adverse effects on the relationship with child or maltreatment towards their child. The aim of this study was to identify the factor structure of the Mother-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS) as well as the determinants of parental bonding disorders in Japan. In this cross-sectional observational s...

Granger causality has long been a prominent method for inferring causal interactions between stochastic variables for a broad range of complex physical systems. However, it has been recognized that a moving average (MA) component in the data presents a serious confound to Granger causal analysis, as routinely performed via autoregressive (AR) modeling. We solve this problem by demonstrating tha...

A semi-analytical dynamical mean-field approximation (DMA) has been developed for large but finite N -unit active rotator (AR) networks subject to individual white noises. Assuming weak noises and the Gaussian distribution of state variables, we have derived equations of motions for moments of local and global variables up to the infinite order. In DMA, the original N -dimensional stochastic di...

We show that the difference between the Ar and Si relative abundance ratio derived from FUSE absorption spectra and from the H ii regions of I Zw 18 is a consequence of the microturbulent analysis applied to the absorption spectra. FUSE observations were performed with a large entrance aperture which fully covered the galaxy. This means that the observed profiles are averaged over the full body...

In this study, airflow modeling and particle tracking methodologies were used to consider the effect of geometry changes—in particular, ceiling height variations—in an operating room (OR). The ceiling height of the OR was varied from 9 ft (2.74 m) to 12 ft (3.66 m) in 1 ft (0.30 m) increments, and a range of different air change rates were considered at each height—between 20 and 30 air changes...

The existence of multi-pulse solutions near orbit-flip bifurcations of a primary single-humped pulse is shown in reversible, conservative, singularly perturbed vector fields. Similar to the nonsingular case, the sign of a geometric condition that involves the first integral decides whether multi-pulses exist or not. The proof utilizes a combination of geometric singular perturbation theory and ...

In [Lem2003b] we have sketched the historical development of problems related to Legendre’s equations ar−bs = 1 and the associated Pell equation x−dy = 1 with d = ab. In [Lem2003c] we discussed certain “non-standard” ideas to solve the Pell equation. Now we move from the historical to the modern part: below we will describe the theory of the first 2-descent on Pell conics and explain its connec...
