We consider the generalized integrable fifth order nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries (fKdV) equation. The extended Tanh method has been used rigorously, by computational program MAPLE, for solving this fifth order nonlinear partial differential equation. The general solutions of the fKdV equation are formed considering an ansatz of the solution in terms of tanh. Then, in particular, some exact soluti...

It is common to note that social environment and cultural formation shape mental disorders. The details of this claim are, however, not well understood. The paper takes a look at the claim that culture has an impact on psychiatry from the perspective of metaphysics and the philosophy of science. Its aim is to offer, in a general fashion, partial explications of some significant versions of the ...

The purpose of this study is to provide a casual model to explain the effect of relationship quality on customer loyalty via mediating effect which night provided by customer satisfaction. The proposed casual model of three variables is developed. Structure equation modelling is conducted to explore customer group homogeneously and examine the mediating effect. The results indicate that relatio...

F10 is an oligonucleotide based on the thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitory 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) metabolite, 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine-5'-O-monophosphate. We sought to determine the activity of F10 against preclinical models of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). F10 treatment resulted in robust induction of apoptosis that could not be equaled by 100 fold more 5-FU. F10 was more potent than Ara...

This study extends the dynamic conditional correlation model to allow day-specific correlations of shocks across international stock markets. The properties of the resulting periodic dynamic conditional correlation (PDCC) model are examined, with the model then applied to study the intra-week interactions between six developed European stock markets and the US over the period 1993 2005. We find...

In this paper, we have proposed a novel alignment-free method for comparing the similarity of protein sequences. We first encode a protein sequence into a 440 dimensional feature vector consisting of a 400 dimensional Pseudo-Markov transition probability vector among the 20 amino acids, a 20 dimensional content ratio vector, and a 20 dimensional position ratio vector of the amino acids in the s...

A policy debate continues about the relative merits and and negative consequences of federal policies that encourage patent protection to university research results. Given the importance of university research for innovation in many industries, the effects of such policies are of critical importance to firms. This paper examines the impact of the increase in university patenting on the effecti...

We show how classical spacetime emerges from quantum gravity through the study of a quantum FRW cosmological model coupled to a free massive scalar field using a new asymptotic expansion method of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. It is shown that the coherent states of the nonadiabatic basis of a particular generalized invariant give rise to the quantum back reaction of matter field proportional to...
