Sharp weak type (1, 1) and L p estimates in dimension one are obtained for uncentered maximal functions associated with Borel measures which do not necessarily satisfy a doubling condition. In higher dimensions uncentered maximal functions fail to satisfy such estimates. Analogous results for centered maximal functions are given in all dimensions.

s of papers 17 of E. maxima at the gut level by measuring plasma carotenoid concentrations. Ionophore sensitivity profiles of eight E. maxima field strains were determined using the traditional evaluation of efficacy parameters, including: lesion scores, weight gain and feed conversion. The results demonstrated that Avatec-medicated, infected chickens had a significant (P<.05) improvement in ca...

cotton as a strategic product plays an important role inthe economy of boshrouyehwhere is known as the major cotton producing center of khorasan-e-jonoubi. in this paper, efficiency of boshroyeh cotton farms in 2007 have been calculated using data envelopment analysis (dea) and determinants of efficiency were identified using tobit regression analysis. the data was collected from questionnaires...

Three 3-month-old Japanese Black calves were experimentally infected with Escherichia coli O157:H7 to define the magnitude (CFU/g) and duration of fecal shedding of the organism. In two of the three calves, fecal shedding of E. coli O157:H7 ceased in 5 and 9 weeks. The remaining calf continued shedding E. coli O157:H7 for more than 31 weeks, and the magnitude of the shedding ranged from 10(1) t...

Maximal pseudocompact spaces (i.e. pseudocompact spaces possessing no strictly stronger pseudocompact topology) are characterized. It is shown that submaximal pseudocompact spaces whose pseudocompact subspaces are closed need not be maximal pseudocompact. Various techniques for constructing maximal pseudocompact spaces are described. Maximal pseudocompactness is compared to maximal feeble compa...

In this paper, we investigate the non-interactive simulation proposed by Kamath et. al. [3], and establish outer bounds by using the maximal correlation and hypercontractivity ribbon. For several examples, inner bounds are discussed and explicit schemes are also introduced.

In this paper results about the Hilbert function and about the number of minimal generators stated in (Orecchia) for disjoint unions of rational smooth curves are generalized to disjoint unions of distinct smooth non special curves. Hence, the maximal rank and the minimal generation of such curves are studied. In particular, we consider elliptic curves and we describe a method to compute their ...

We prove that extreme Kerr initial data set is a unique absolute minimum of the total mass in a (physically relevant) class of vacuum, maximal, asymptotically flat, axisymmetric data for Einstein equations with fixed angular momentum. These data represent nonstationary, axially symmetric, black holes. As a consequence, we obtain that any data in this class satisfy the inequality √ J ≤ m, where ...

We show that the maximal number of singular moves required to pass between any two regularly homotopic planar or spherical curves with at most n crossings, grows quadratically with respect to n. Furthermore, this can be done with all curves along the way having at most n + 2 crossings.

OBJECTIVE To describe the frequency and distribution of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in the feces and environment of cow-calf herds housed on pasture. SAMPLE POPULATION Fecal and water samples for 10 cow-calf farms in Kansas. PROCEDURE Fecal and water samples were obtained monthly throughout a 1-year period (3,152 fecal samples from 2,058 cattle; 199 water samples). Escherichia coli O157:H7 in ...
