This research examined partner and relationship perceptions and ideal standards in 100 individuals over time, from the 1st to the 12th month of their dating relationships. As expected, the results revealed that (a) individuals evaluated their relationships on both distinct evaluative components and global evaluative dimensions, (b) higher ideal-perception consistency was associated with higher ...

Improving efficiency of protein utilization is important for pregnant sows under restricted feed allowance and for lactating sows with limited feed intake. Sows have limited ability to support the growth of fetuses and mammary glands during late gestation and to support mammary growth and milk production, especially during first lactation period. A series of studies was conducted to characteriz...

An ideal I of a ring R is called right Baer-ideal if there exists an idempotent e 2 R such that r(I) = eR. We know that R is quasi-Baer if every ideal of R is a right Baer-ideal, R is n-generalized right quasi-Baer if for each I E R the ideal In is right Baer-ideal, and R is right principaly quasi-Baer if every principal right ideal of R is a right Baer-ideal. Therefore the concept of Baer idea...

In this paper, binomial difference ideals are studied. Three canonical representations for Laurent binomial difference ideals are given in terms of the reduced Gröbner basis of Z[x]-lattices, regular and coherent difference ascending chains, and partial characters over Z[x]-lattices, respectively. Criteria for a Laurent binomial difference ideal to be reflexive, prime, well-mixed, and perfect a...

for any reduced commutative $f$-ring with identity and bounded inversion, we show that a condition which is obviously necessary for the socle of the ring to coincide with the socle of its bounded part, is actually also sufficient. the condition is that every minimal ideal of the ring consist entirely of bounded elements. it is not too stringent, and is satisfied, for instance, by rings of conti...

New class of methods is needed to support decision makers in complex and dynamically changing environments. Agent-based simulation combined with human-oriented machine learning provides robustness and efficiency, and at the same time ability to explain reasons for selected plans to decision makers. This makes the method ideal for decision support in healthcare, medicine, security, disaster plan...

We have designed a unique hybrid structure by directly growing ultrathin anatase TiO(2) nanosheets onto graphene support for fast lithium storage. With exposed (001) high-energy facets, these TiO(2) nanosheets serve as ideal hosts for fast and efficient lithium storage. On the other hand, the graphene support serves as a highly conductive substrate that is beneficial to the high-rate performance.

in this paper we study some results on noetherian semigroups. we  show that if  $s_s$ is an  strongly  faithful $s$-act and $s$ is a duo weakly noetherian, then we have the following.
