The current literature suggests that multiple variables affect vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) resolution rates following dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Dx/HA) injection. This article reviews the evidence pertaining to the effect of injected Dx/HA volume on success rates following endoscopic correction. Lack of prospective studies which use injected volume as a continuous variable coupled w...

Physical contact established during interaction between a human operator and a haptic device creates a coupled system with stability and performance characteristics different than its individual subsystems taken in isolation. Proper incorporation of operator dynamics in physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) conditions requires knowledge of system variables and parameters, some of which are no...

EPRs and Metadata Any Web services endpoint, or more generally, virtually any distributed systems endpoint, incorporates various forms of metadata. For example, an endpoint typically supports some kind of interface, accepts certain forms of data as inputs, and produces the same or different forms of data as outputs. Endpoints might have requirements related to security or transactions, or they ...

Even though linked open data are inherently capable of persisting in a decentralized fashion, the Semantic Web community is currently lacking effective workflows for seamlessly sharing and querying RDF datasets beyond relatively small scales. The most accessible methods for cloning and subsequently querying an RDF dataset are quite involved, often requiring users to locate and download a data d...

A bstract Following our earlier work we establish kinematic endpoint relations for baryon decays using the Wigner-Eckart theorem and apply them to $$ \frac{1}{2}\to \frac{1}{2} 1 2 → \frac{3}{2} 3 transitions. We provide angular distr...

the padmakar-ivan (pi) index is a first-generation topological index (ti) based on sums overall edges between numbers of edges closer to one endpoint and numbers of edges closer to theother endpoint. edges at equal distances from the two endpoints are ignored. an analogousdefinition is valid for the wiener index w, with the difference that sums are replaced byproducts. a few other tis are discu...

in this note we point out and rectify some errors in a recently published paper “n. singh, r. jain: coupled fixed point results for weakly related mappings in partially ordered metric spaces, bull. iranian math. soc. 40 (2014), no. 1, 29-40”.

in the present paper‎, ‎we show the existence of a coupled fixed point for a non-decreasing mapping in partially ordered complete metric space using a partial order induced by an appropriate function $phi$‎. ‎we also define the concept of weakly related mappings on an ordered space‎. ‎moreover common coupled fixed points for two and three weakly related mappings are also proved in the same space‎.
