A theorem of S. Warschawski on the derivative of a holomorphic function mapping conformally the circle onto a simply-connected domain bounded by the piecewise-Lyapunov Jordan curve is extended to domains with a non-Jordan boundary having interior cusps of a certain type. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 3OC35.

The horse fly fauna of Jordan consists of 24 species belonging to seven genera. The present study adds two new records; Tabanus unifasciatus and Tabanus lunatus. Keys and illustrations for the horse flies of Jordan are presented based on examined materials. Distribution and geographic ranges for each species is also given.

In [11] the author proved that every quasiconformal harmonic mapping between two Jordan domains with C, 0 < α ≤ 1, boundary is biLipschitz, providing that the domain is convex. In this paper we avoid the restriction of convexity. More precisely we prove: any quasiconformal harmonic mapping between two Jordan domains Ωj , j = 1, 2, with C, j = 1, 2 boundary is bi-Lipschitz.

We extend the Jacobson’s Coordinatization theorem to Jordan superalgebras. Using it we classify Jordan bimodules over superalgebras of types Q(n) and JP (n), n ≥ 3. Then we use the Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction and representation theory of Lie superalgebras to treat the remaining case Q(2).

PROBLEM Before 2003 there was substantial underreporting of deaths in Jordan. The death notification form did not comply with World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and information on the cause of death was often missing, incomplete or inaccurate. APPROACH A new mortality surveillance system to determine the causes of death was implemented in 2003 and a unit for coding causes of death was...

1. Introduction. One may construct a Jordan homomorphism from one (associative) ring into another ring by taking the sum of a homo-morphism and an antihomomorphism of the first ring into two ideals in the second ring with null intersection [6]. A number of authors have considered conditions on the rings that imply that every Jordan homomorphism, or isomorphism, is of this form [6], [3], [7], [1...

INTRODUCTION Antimicrobial resistance is a serious global health concern. It has considerable implications on societies' health and resources. In Jordan, there is a large Iraqi community due to the ongoing turmoil in Iraq. Unfortunately, health awareness and practices of this community are under-investigated due to scarcity of research. This paper assesses the awareness of antibiotic use and an...

BACKGROUND Use of inhalers requires accurate completion of multiple steps to ensure effective medication delivery. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the most problematic steps in the use of Diskus and Turbuhaler for pharmacists and patients in Jordon and Australia. METHODS With standardized inhaler-technique checklists, we asked community pharmacists to demonstrate the use of Diskus and Turbuhaler. We...
