The paper aims to outline the author impact based on Lotka’s Law using R. Lotka’s Law is well known as “the inverse square law of scientifi c productivity.” It states that the number of authors publishing a certain number of articles is a fi xed ratio to the number of authors publishing a single article. The study found authoring patterns do not match to Lotka’s Law. The study summarizes the re...

Pure Holstein (HO, n=430), crosses between Swedish Red and HO (SRxHO, n=41), Montbeliarde and HO (MOxHO, n=18), and MO and SRxHO (MOxSH, n=53) were compared for milk, fat and protein yield, fat and protein percentage, somatic cell count (SCC), milking time (MT), and age at fi rst and second calving. A total of 180,933 test-day information for milk yield and MT, and 5,249 for fat and protein per...

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a primary, usually familial and genetically fi xed myocardial hypertrophy, with dynamic left ventricular outfl ow tract obstruction. An alternative to surgical myectomy in the treatment of severe, drug refractory, HOCM is percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA). We report a case of  year old female patient who had the fi r...

In 2008, Al-Thaga and Shahzad [Generalized I-nonexpansive self-maps and invariant approximations, Acta Math. Sinica 24(5) (2008), 867{876]introduced the notion of occasionally weakly compatible mappings (shortly owcmaps) which is more general than all the commutativity concepts. In the presentpaper, we prove common xed point theorems for families of owc maps in Mengerspaces. As applications to ...

We construct a new family of ${\mathrm{AdS}}_{2}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{S}^{3}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{S}^{2}$ solutions to type IIB supergravity arising as near-horizon geometries D1-F1-D3-D5-NS5-D7 brane intersections preserving four supersymmetries. show that subclass these asymptotes locally the ${\mathrm{AdS}}_{6}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{S}^{2}\ifmmode\times\...

For nearly incompressible elasticity, volumetric locking is a well-known phenomenon with low-order (cubic or lower) fi nite element method methods, of which continuous extended fi nite element methods (XFEMs) are no exception. We will present an XFEM that is simultaneously lock-free and optimally convergent. Based on our earlier work of an optimally convergent discontinuous-Galerkin-based XFEM,...

In this paper, we propose an adaptive encoding method of xed codebook in CELP coders and implement an adaptive xed code excited linear prediction (AF-CELP) speech coder. AF-CELP exploits the fact that the xed codebook contribution to speech signal is also periodic as the adaptive codebook (or pitch lter) contribution. By modeling the xed codebook with the pitch lag and the gain from the adaptiv...

background: at the end of fi xed orthodontic treatment, the remnant of adhesive should be eliminated from the tooth surface. the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of three methods of removing adhesive on enamel surface roughness, dental pulp t emperature, and also on the time spent. materials and methods: the brackets on 90 extracted teeth were debonded using bracket removal plier...

Traditionall y, the fi xed brain is sliced into sections in a coronal or horizontal plane for neuropathologic analysis. Computed tomography (CT) requires a reconsideration of this procedure and development of methods that allow for correlation of anatomopatholog ic aspects of lesions with correspond ing CT scan images [1 , 2]. This has been proposed by many authors and several techniq ues for a...
