A Note on Normal Families of Meromorphic Functions Concerning Shared Values by Yuan Wenjun, Wei Jinjin, Lin Jianming

“…We consider whether a family of meromorphic functions ℱ is normal in D if, for every pair of functions f and g in ℱ, f′−afn and g′−agn share the value b for n=1,2, and 3, where a and b≠0 are two finite complex numbers. Some examples show that the conditions in our results are the best possible.…”

Performance Analysis of Thermal and Surface Roughness Effect of Slider Bearings with Unsteady Fluid Film Lubricant Using Finite Element Method by Girma Desu Tessema, Getachew Adamu Derese, Awoke Andargie Tiruneh

“…The bearing performance of the combined effect is lower than the thermal and surface roughness effects of the one-dimensional longitudinal surface roughness for all modified Reynolds numbers of nonparallel slider bearings; this means that for nonparallel (w=0.4) between the surface roughness effect and the combined effect condition, there is a decrease of 13% in load-carrying capacity performance and a minimal change in friction force, respectively. …”

Prevalence of Nocturnal Enuresis and Its Associated Factors in Primary School and Preschool Children of Khorramabad in 2013 by Katayoun Bakhtiar, Yadollah Pournia, Farzad Ebrahimzadeh, Ali Farhadi, Fathollah Shafizadeh, Reza Hosseinabadi

“…The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis in the boys (10.7%) was higher compared with that in the girls (5.4%) (P=0.009). There were statistically significant relationships between nocturnal enuresis and history of nocturnal enuresis in siblings (P=0.023), respiratory infections (P=0.036), deep sleep (P=0.007), corporal punishment at school (P=0.036), anal itching (P=0.043), and history of seizures (P=0.043). …”

Behavior of a Competitive System of Second-Order Difference Equations by Q. Din, T. F. Ibrahim, K. A. Khan

“…We study the boundedness and persistence, existence, and uniqueness of positive equilibrium, local and global behavior of positive equilibrium point, and rate of convergence of positive solutions of the following system of rational difference equations: xn+1=(α1+β1xn-1)/(a1+b1yn), yn+1=(α2+β2yn-1)/(a2+b2xn), where the parameters αi, βi, ai, and bi for i∈{1,2} and initial conditions x0, x-1, y0, and y-1 are positive real numbers. …”

Shock Wave Therapy Enhances Mitochondrial Delivery into Target Cells and Protects against Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome by Kun-Chen Lin, Christopher Glenn Wallace, Tsung-Cheng Yin, Pei-Hsun Sung, Kuan-Hung Chen, Hung-I Lu, Han-Tan Chai, Chih-Hung Chen, Yi-Ling Chen, Yi-Chen Li, Pei-Lin Shao, Mel S. Lee, Jiunn-Jye Sheu, Hon-Kan Yip

“…In vitro and ex vivo studies showed that SW enhances mitochondrial uptake into lung epithelial and parenchyma cells (all p<0.001). Flow cytometry demonstrated that albumin levels and numbers of inflammatory cells (Ly6G+/CD14+/CD68+/CD11b/c+) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were the highest in untreated ARDS, were progressively reduced across SW, Mito, and SW + Mito (all p<0.0001), and were the lowest in sham controls. …”
