In this work, we define the notion of an algebraic distance in algebraic cone metric spaces defined by Niknam et al. [A. Niknam, S. Shamsi Gamchi and M. Janfada, Some results on TVS-cone normed spaces and algebraic cone metric spaces, Iranian J. Math. Sci. Infor. 9 (1) (2014), 71--80] and introduce some its elementary properties. Then we prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed point for a B...

Purpose Blue cone monochromacy (BCM) is an X-linked congenital vision disorder characterized by complete loss or severely reduced L- and M-cone function. Patients with BCM display poor visual acuity, severely impaired color discrimination, myopia, nystagmus, and minimally detectable cone-mediated electroretinogram. Recent studies of patients with BCM with adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalm...

OBJECTIVE To identify key factors for predicting positive cone margin and appropriate cone length. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the margin status of patients who received conization with high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, along with other factors such as patient age, parity, preoperative cytology, size of disease, type of transformation zone, and cone length from patient re...

Introdouction: This study investigated the potential relationship between vertical facial growth patterns and airway volumes in a sample of Iranian adult patients. Materials and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 72 adult patients (44 females, 28 males), ages 18– 45 years, who had been referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology at the Shiraz Univer...

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concept of generalized quasi-contractions in the setting of cone $b$-metric spaces over Banach algebras. By omitting the  assumption of normality we establish common fixed point theorems for the generalized quasi-contractions  with the spectral radius $r(lambda)$ of the quasi-contractive constant vector $lambda$ satisfying $r(lambda)in [0,frac{1}{s})$  in the set...

Whole-cell voltage and current recordings were obtained from red and green cone photoreceptors in isolated retina from macaque monkey. It was demonstrated previously that the cone photovoltage is generated from two sources, phototransduction current in the cone outer segment and photocurrent from neighboring rods. Rod signals are likely transmitted to cones across the gap junctions between rods...

Two single parameter families of polyhedra P (ψ) are constructed in three dimensional spaces of constant curvature C(ψ). Identification of the faces of the polyhedra via isometries results in cone manifolds M(ψ) which are topologically S × S, S or singular S . The singular set of M(ψ) can have self intersections for some values of ψ and can also be the Whitehead link or form other configuration...
