let $g$ be a finite group and $gamma(g)$ the prime graph of $g$‎. ‎recently people have been using prime graphs to study simple groups‎. ‎naturally we pose a question‎: ‎can we use prime graphs to study almost‎ ‎simple groups or non-simple groups? in this paper some results in‎ ‎this respect are obtained and as follows‎: ‎$gcong s_p$ if and only‎ ‎if $|g|=|s_p|$ and $gamma(g)=gamma(s_p)$‎, ‎whe...

We develop an athermal shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of plastic deformation in spatially inhomogeneous, amorphous solids. Our ultimate goal is to describe the dynamics of the boundaries of voids or cracks in such systems when they are subjected to remote, time-dependent tractions. The theory is illustrated here for the case of a circular hole in an infinite two-dimensional plate, a hig...

in this paper, we investigate the existence of a positive solution of fully fuzzy linear equation systems. this paper mainly to discuss a new decomposition of a nonsingular fuzzy matrix, the symmetric times triangular (st) decomposition. by this decomposition, every nonsingular fuzzy matrix can be represented as a product of a fuzzy symmetric matrix s and a fuzzy triangular matrix t.

This paper describes a finite element based method for simulating the effects of material removal, associated with fretting wear, on fretting fatigue parameters in a spline coupling. An incremental wear simulation technique is implemented with a single tooth finite element model of the coupling for symmetric loading, assuming equal wear on all teeth, using a comparatively coarse mesh model, for...

recently, we have used the symmetric bracket of vector fields, and developed the notion of the symmetric derivation. using this machinery, we have defined the concept of symmetric curvature. this concept is natural and is related to the notions divergence and laplacian of vector fields. this concept is also related to the derivations on the algebra of symmetric forms which has been discus...
