Keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT) is a benign cystic intraosseous tumour of odontogenic origin that is usually solitary except when syndromic. It rarely occurs in the maxilla; therefore a rapidly progressive, nonsyndromic bimaxillary KCOT with locoregional extension poses significant diagnostic and management challenges. To the best of the authors' knowledge, documentation of a nonsyndromi...

In the paper [Y. Okuyama, {it On the absolute generalized N"{o}rlund summability of orthogonal series},Tamkang J. Math. Vol. 33, No. 2, (2002), 161-165] the author has found some sufficient conditions under which an orthogonal seriesis summable $|N,p,q|$ almost everywhere. These conditions are expressed in terms of coefficients of the series. It is the purpose ofthis paper to extend this result...

In this paper, we discuss a multiperiod portfolio selection problem with fuzzy returns. We present a new credibilitic multiperiod mean semi- absolute deviation portfolio selection with some real factors including transaction costs, borrowing constraints, entropy constraints, threshold constraints and risk control. In the proposed model, we quantify the investment return and risk associated with...

The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH) states that North America was devastated by some sort of extraterrestrial event ~12,800 calendar years before present. Two fundamental questions persist in the debate over the YDIH: Can the results of analyses for purported impact indicators be reproduced? And are the indicators unique to the lower YD boundary (YDB), i.e., ~12.8k cal yrs BP? A test rep...

In the last fifty years or so, since Yogācāra texts have been available to western academics, there has been a debate as to how Yogācāra Buddhism should be interpreted. This article seeks to establish that Yogācāra Buddhism is most properly interpreted as an idealist school of Buddhist thought. Specifically, it challenges the arguments that have been put forth in recent years that suggest a phe...

In this paper, we consider portfolio selection problem in which security returns are regarded as fuzzy variables rather than random variables. We first introduce a concept of absolute deviation for fuzzy variables and prove some useful properties, which imply that absolute deviation may be used to measure risk well. Then we propose two mean-absolute deviation models by defining risk as abs...

in this paper, we propose a parametric uniform approximation method to solve np-hard absolute value equations. for this, we uniformly approximate absolute value in such a way that the nonsmooth absolute value equation can be formulated as a smooth nonlinear equation. by solving the parametric smooth nonlinear equation using newton method, for a decreasing sequence of parameters, we can get the ...

Mental health and attainment gaps comprise crises on university campuses, especially for first-generation low-income students. Despite the heritage of spirituality religious foundations America’s colleges, current norms have rendered candid discussions to be mostly nonexistent. literature linking with psychological wellbeing, known is little as what relationship has wellbeing academic...
