A predicative semantics is a mapping of programs to predicates These pred icates characterize sets of acceptable observations The presence of time in the observations makes the obvious weakest xed point semantics of itera tive constructs unacceptable This paper proposes an alternative We will see that this alternative semantics is monotone and implementable feasible Fi nally a programming theor...

Predicting the future is not easy. As young medical graduates in the 1970s we were told not to bother with infectious disease specialties as they had largely been fi xed with vaccines and antibiotics. There was a surplus of doctors, and the Alma Ata Declaration had ushered in a new model of primary health care which was going to solve third world poverty and disease. Things were looking so good...

The nationwide screening service for breast cancer, known as BOB from the initials of the Dutch title (Bevolkingonderzoek op Borstkanker) has been set up by the Dutch government for asymptomatic women between 50 and 75 years of age. The primary test offered is X-ray mammography, aimed at early detection of breast cancer in order to reduce the mortality from this disease. The examinations are pe...

In this paper, by using C-class functions, we will present a coupled …xed problem in b-metric space for the single-valued operators satisfying a generalized contraction condition. First part of the paper is related to some …xed point theorems, the second part presents the uniqueness and existence for the solution of the coupled …xed point problem and in the third part we...

The article presents the results of study materials obtained during excavations early Turkic enclosure at Chichke-I site. Th is multi-temporal archaeological complex, located 13 km southwest Kurai village Kosh-Agach district Altai Republic, studied in 1982–1983 by Ongudai detachment expedition State University. Enclosure 159, northeastern part site, was one objects. During it found out that bas...

background: the fi nal position of the abutment changes with the amount of tightening torque. this could eventually lead to loss of passivity and marginal misfi t of prostheses. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of three different tightening torques on the marginal adaptation of 3-unit cement-retained implant-supported fi xed dental prostheses (fdps). materials and methods: two i...

In this paper we investigate the question of existence nonnegative solution to some fractional liouville equation. Our main tools based on well known Krasnoselskiis xed point theorem.

In this paper we formulate and prove some xed and common xed pointTheorems for self-mappings dened on complete lower Transversal functionalprobabilistic spaces.
