Let A (the elastic operator) be a positive, self-adjoint operator with domain D(A) in the Hubert space X, and let B dissipation another satisfying: p\Aa < p 2Aa for some constants 0 pi oo 1. Consider (corresponding to model x + Bx Ax = written as first order system), which (once closed) is plainly generator of strongly continuous semigroup contractions on E D(Aι/2) X. We prove that if 1/2 1, then such also analytic (holomorphic) triangular sector C containing positive real axis. This...

This exploratory study explored second-year students' experience with reflective activities in a Canadian Master's Occupation Therapy program. A survey and follow-up interviews were conducted to examine multiple perspectives the influences of on students. Data analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Chi-Square, thematic analysis. Findings revealed that reflections personal or societal perceived be more beneficial than clinical simulations. Three themes emerged: (1) key elements...

The purpose of this study is to assess how an activity-based costing (ABC) system can assist the justification capital investments for green manufacturing systems (GMSs). We provide investment decision model and a numerical example GMS based on ABC include not only direct performances but also intangible benefits that are generated by adoption GMS. Our findings insight into value demonstrate opportunity reduce pollution while simultaneously improving investment.
Cumulating evidence has revealed the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in relieving pain via immunoregulation. However, its underlying mechanism remains unknown. The present study was designed to determine changes immunogenic responses at different time-points electroacupuncture (EA) interventions neuropathic rats. model established by ligature left sciatic nerve induce chronic constriction injury (CCI). EA applied Zusanli (ST36) and Yanglingquan (GB34) for groups. thermal threshold...
