In this paper we investigate the nature of the adapted solutions to a class of forward-backward stochastic di erential equations (SDEs for short) in which the forward equation is non-degenerate. We prove that in this case the adapted solution can always be sought in an \ordinary" sense over an arbitrarily prescribed time duration, via a direct \Four Step Scheme". Using this scheme, we further p...

We develop a formal ontology within the four dimensionalist (4D) paradigm by showing how the algebraic description of spatial mereotopology – a Boolean algebra equipped with a connection relation – can be enriched to provide a mereotopology in which the entities are spatio-temporal, rather than spatial, regions. With the 4D approach it is natural to identify a period of time with all of space d...

n: The purpose of this study was to compare the histopathologic reaction of four rials: silk, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyglycolic acid, and catgut in the f albino rabbits. nd Methods: The twenty-one male mature albino rabbits which were used in e randomly divided into three groups of seven each. Silk, PVDF, polyglycolic acid ure materials were tested in the oral mucosa of these animals...

le but etait de realiser un four pour pouvoir consommer, comme combustible, les debris du coke metallurgique de la siderurgie d'isphahan. ainsi, deux fours ont ete construits; l'un pour chauggage domestigue et l'autre, permettant d'atteindre une temperature plus elevee, pour les unites industrielles

we propose a scheme for localizing an atom in a four-level configuration inside a classical standing wave field, conditioned upon the measurement of frequency of a weak probe field. in the classical standing wave field, the interaction between the atom and the field is position dependent due to the rabi-frequency of the driving field. hence, as the absorption frequency of the probe field is mea...

This paper investigates "what's in a number", i.e. how natural numbers are pronounced in several European languages. As regards reading numbers above 20, 29 languages read the decade first and then the digit, e.g. twenty-four, and 10 languages read the digit before the decade, e.g. four-and-twenty. Two languages, Norwegian and Czech, use both systems, and 9 languages use (partly) a vigesimal sy...

This paper shows that the general hypersurface of degree ≥ 6 in projective four space cannot support an indecomposable rank two vector bundle which is Arithmetically CohenMacaulay and four generated. Equivalently, the equation of the hypersurface is not the Pfaffian of a four by four minimal skewsymmetric matrix.

The activities in a language course can be classified into the four strands of meaning-focused input, meaning-focused output, language-focused learning and fluency development. In a well designed course there should be an even balance of these strands with roughly equal amounts of time given to each strand. The research evidence for the strands draws on the input hypothesis and learning from ex...

For a knot K in the 3-sphere, by using the linking form on the first homology group of the double branched cover of the 3-sphere, we investigate some numerical invariants, 4-genus g∗(K), nonorientable 4-genus γ∗(K) and 4dimensional clasp number c∗(K), defined from the four-dimensional viewpoint. T. Shibuya gave an inequality g∗(K) ≤ c∗(K), and asked whether the equality holds or not. From our r...
