in this paper among many other things we prove that the topological left amenability and left amenability of a weighted hypergroup (k, ?) are equivalent. for a normal subgroup h of k, we define a weight function ?? on kih and obtain connection between left amenability of (k, ?) and (k|h, ??). let h be a compact subhypergroup of k. we define the weight function on k||h and obtain connection betw...

The Internet of Things (IoT) and social networking integration, create a new concept named Social Internet of Things (SIoT) according to which the things are able to autonomously establish social relationships with regard to the owners. Things in SIoT operate according to a service-oriented architecture. There may be misbehaving owners and consequently misbehaving devices that can perform harmf...

Two drug products are considered bioequivalent 'if their bio-availabilities ... are similar to such a degree that their effects, with respect to both efficacy and safety, will essentially be the same'. 1 The bioequivalence of two drug products is generally demonstrated through a clinical study in healthy volunteers, the so-called bioequivalence study. If bioequivalence is shown for two drug pro...
