Exact Solutions of Damped Improved Boussinesq Equations by Extended (G′/G)-Expansion Method

With the help of the auxiliary function method, we solved the improved Boussinesq (IBq) equation with fluid dynamic damping and the modified IBq (IMBq) equation with Stokes damping, and we obtained their three types of travelling wave exact...

Mathematical Statistics

Traditional texts in mathematical statistics can seem - to some readers-heavily weighted with optimality theory of the various flavors developed in the 1940s and50s, and not particularly relevant to statistical practice. Mathematical Statis...

Mathematics without Numbers

Abstract Develops a structuralist understanding of mathematics, as an alternative to set‐ or type‐theoretic foundations, that respects classical mathematical truth while minimizing Platonist commitments to abstract entities. Modal logic is ...

Mathematics and the Body

This book explores alternative ways to consider the relationship between mathematics and the material world. Drawing on the philosophy of Gilles Châtelet and the post-humanist materialism of Karen Barad, the authors present an 'inclusive ma...

Introduction to Mathematical Logic.

is sometimes called the foundation of mathematics: the logician studies the kinds of reasoning used in the individual steps of a proof. Alonzo Church was a pioneer in the field of mathematical logic, whose contributions to number theory and...

The application of cosine similarity measures with Laplacian energy to q-rung orthopair fuzzy graphs in decision-making problems

Q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFS), which are better than the intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets, are a significant tool for expressing ambiguous information. Their key feature is that their ability to represent a larger space of u...

Encyclopedic dictionary of mathematics

The second edition of the widely acclaimed Encyclopedic Dictionary of Mathematics was published in 1987 and is now available in paperback. It includes 70 new articles, particularly in applied mathematics, expanded explanations and appendice...

Realism in Mathematics

Abstract Many mathematicians understand their work as an effort to describe the denizens and features of an abstract mathematical world or worlds. Most philosophers of mathematics consider views of this sort highly problematic, largely due ...

Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy

"The philosophy of mathematics will naturally be expected to deal with questions at the frontier of knowledge, as to which comparative certainty is not yet attained. But separation of such questions is hardly likely to be fruitful unless th...

Existence results and Ulam-Hyers stability for a sequential deformable fractional initial value problem

Abstract In this study, we establish existence and Ulam-Hyers results for nonlinear sequential fractional differential equations involving the deformable derivative. We employ the Banach contraction principle and Krasnoselskii’s theorem to ...

Understanding older adults’ continuance intention toward smart locks: a socio-technical study based on the Expectation-Confirmation Model of Information Systems and Task-Technology Fit Model

Background As aging populations continue to grow, smart home technologies—such as smart locks—have become increasingly essential to support older adults’ independent living. Long-term use remains a challenge, however, with most studies focu...

Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching and the Mathematical Quality of Instruction: An Exploratory Study

This study illuminates claims that teachers' mathematical knowledge plays an important role in their teaching of this subject matter. In particular, we focus on teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT), which includes both the ma...

An Agent Cascade for Explainable Relevance Assessment of Procurement Procedures in the Tenders Electronic Daily Environment

This paper considers the task of assessing the relevance of a procurement procedure for a supplier under conditions of growing volumes of open procurement data and increasing complexity of electronic publication services. It is shown that, ...

The Mathematical Experience

Winner of the 1983 National Book Award! ...a perfectly marvelous book about the Queen of Sciences, from which one will get a real feeling for what mathematicians do and who they are. The exposition is clear and full of wit and humor... - Th...

Author Correction: Causal networks of phytoplankton diversity and biomass are modulated by environmental context

HEALTH TECHNOLOGY DIFFUSION RATES

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the rates and influences on the adoption of three selected health technologies: statins, coronary stents, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS: A retrospective diffusion study using primary care prescribing da...

Health technology assessment in oral health.

Health-care costs are rising at an alarmingly fast rate worldwide, particularly in developed countries such as the United States. This is predominantly a result of the development of new, high-cost health technologies intended for improved ...

A self-control training app to increase self-control and reduce aggression – A full factorial design

Background: Research has shown that self-control training (SCT) is an effective intervention to increase self-control and behaviour driven by self-control, such as reactive aggression. We developed an app that offers SCT by asking users to ...

Health Technologies as a Cost-Driver in Canada

This report describes our estimation of the effects of technological change (TC) on health care (HC) expenditures in Canada during the period 1996-2008. We focus on the effect of TC on overall nominal expenditures, as well as the effects of...

Health technology assessment for digital health Technologies in India: a framework for action

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to understand the path for establishing digital health technologies-health technology assessment (DHT-HTA) in India. METHODS: A rapid review of HTA and DHT frameworks on PubMed (MEDLINE) and Google Schol...
