For all $a,b>0$, the following two optimal inequalities are presented: $H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)geq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain[frac{1}{4},1)$, and $ H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)leq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain(0,frac{3sqrt{5}-5}{40}]$. Here, $H(a,b)$, $L(a,b)$, and $M_p(a,b)$ denote the harmonic, logarithmic, and power means of order $p$ of two positive numbers...

We find the greatest values $alpha_{1} $ and $alpha_{2} $, and the least values $beta_{1} $ and $beta_{2} $ such that the inequalities $alpha_{1} C(a,b)+(1-alpha_{1} )H(a,b)

Seventeen hitherto untreated patients with mild Parkinson's disease were given the dopamine agonists mesulergine or pergolide. Of the 10 patients who received pergolide (mean dosage 3.7 mg/day) five failed to improve, four showed slight improvement and one gained moderate benefit. Of the seven patients who received mesulergine (mean dose 6.4 mg/day) three patients derived no benefit, two slight...

Several studies on photovoltaic systems focused on how it operates and energy required in operating it. Little attention is paid on its configurations, modeling of mean time to system failure, availability, cost benefit and comparisons of parallel and series–parallel designs. In this research work, four system configurations were studied. Configuration I consists of two sub-components arranged ...
