infection is the primary source of mortality in burn patients. one of the main treatment methods of burn wound infections is topical antimicrobial therapy, in which drugs have to permeate a dead tissue called eschar. unfortunately, most antimicrobial agents can not permeate eschar in therapeutic levels. surprisingly, permeation properties of this barrier and effects of chemical or environmental...

The solvability in Sobolev spaces is proved for divergence form second order elliptic equations in the whole space, a half space, and a bounded Lipschitz domain. For equations in the whole space or a half space, the leading coefficients a are assumed to be measurable in one direction and have small BMO semi-norms in the other directions. For equations in a bounded domain, additionally we assume...

In generalized semi-infinite programming the feasible set is known to be not closed in general. In this paper, under natural and generic assumptions, the closure of the feasible set is described in explicit terms.

This paper represents linkage network of queues consisting of biserial and parallel servers linked to a common server in series with a flowshop scheduling system consisting of two machines. The significant transportation time of the jobs from one machine to another is also considered. Further, the completion time of jobs/customers (waiting time + service time) in the queue network is the set...

in a previous paper, the second author established that, given finite fields $f < e$ and certain subgroups $c leq e^times$, there is a galois connection between the intermediate field lattice ${l mid f leq l leq e}$ and $c$'s subgroup lattice. based on the galois connection, the paper then calculated the irreducible, complex character degrees of the semi-direct product $c rtimes {rm gal} (e/f)$...

the importance of groundwater as a source of water supply in arid, semi –arid areas in recent years due to the uncontrolled exploitation of groundwater have been doubled. uncontrolled exploitation has been caused a drop in the water table in many areas of the country, including this region. with replace methods of modern irrigation instead of traditional irrigation methods can prevent drop the ...

introduction: educational environment is an important determinant of students’ behavior and its elements are associated with academic achievement and course satisfaction. the aim of this study was to determine students’expectations of the ideal educational environment. methods: this was a qualitative study with content analysis approach. using a theoretical sampling method, we selected eight st...
