It is well known, the voice segments and coincident data packets are not equally valued and significant for decoding and comprehension of speech signal. Some lost segments may only slightly worsen audible quality, while others cause strong distortion of the speech signals. Despite this, the feature of different importance of different voice segments in current generation of digital voice transm...

This paper attempts to explain the fundamental cause of China’s growing imbalance problems. Economic data confirm that the key structural imbalance problems, such as overinvestment, large current account surpluses, low consumption share of GDP and income inequality, have all deteriorated over the past few years, despite continuous policy efforts to correct these problems. We argue that the key ...

In a representative system of government, policy outcomes are affected by the political preferences and the beliefs of the voters. The media play a key role in shaping these preferences and beliefs. They collect, summarize, and frame the information that voters use in their voting decisions. As a result, many have expressed concern that the media may be able to systematically manipulate politic...

Making use of convolution product, we introduce a unified class of spiral-like functions and obtain the coefficient bounds, extreme points and radius of starlikeness for functions belonging to the generalized class Pλ μ (α, β, γ). Furthermore, Distortion theorems for the fractional derivative and fractional integration are obtained. Also we get result about coefficient inequality.

We introduce a class TS p(α) of analytic functions with negative coefficients defined by convolution with a fixed analytic function g(z) = z+ P∞ n=2 bnz , bn > 0, |z| < 1. We obtain the coefficient inequality, coefficient estimate, distortion theorem, a convolution result, extreme points and integral representation for functions in the class TS p(α).

In this paper, we define a class R h p,m,β associated with convolution of p-valent analytic functions. Some properties in the form of coefficient inequality, growth and distortion bounds, sufficient conditions with the help of various lemmas, integral means inequality for convolution of two functions and a set of class preserving integral operators of functions belonging to this class are studi...

This paper examines the influence of social norms on obesity. We develop a concept of social norm related to social distortion in weight perception developed through shared experiences in a common social environment with a high prevalence of obesity. The theoretical model show that when obesity is common it less likely to be recognized as a problem by mitigating individual’s health concerns. We...
