A New Type of Coincidence and Common Fixed Point Theorem with Applications
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
Coincidence and common fixed point theorems for a class of 'Ciric-Suzuki hybrid contractions involving a multivalued and two single-valued maps in a metric space are obtained. Some applications including the existence of ...
Temperature-and pH-Sensitive Nanohydrogels of Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) for Food Packaging Applications: Modelling the Swelling-Collapse Behaviour
(Public Library Science, 2014-02-10)
Temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) nanohydrogels were synthesized by nanoemulsion polymerization in water-in-oil systems. Several cross-linking degrees and the incorporation of acrylic acid as comonomer ...
Dispersion of gamma-Alumina Nano-Sized Spherical Particles in a Calamitic Liquid Crystal. Study and Optimization of the Confinement Effects
(MDPI, 2014-03)
We report an experimental study on confined systems formed by butyloxybenzylidene octylaniline liquid crystal (4O.8) + gamma-alumina nanoparticles. The effects of the confinement in the thermal and dielectric properties ...
Coincidence and common fixed point theorems for Suzuki type hybrid contractions and applications
(Springer International Publishing, 2014-07-22)
Coincidence and common fixed point theorems for a class of Suzuki hybrid contractions involving two pairs of single-valued and multivalued maps in a metric space are obtained. In addition, the existence of a common solution ...
Spatial-temporal excess mortality patterns of the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic in Spain
(Biomed Central, 2014-07-05)
Background: The impact of socio-demographic factors and baseline health on the mortality burden of seasonal and pandemic influenza remains debated. Here we analyzed the spatial-temporal mortality patterns of the 1918 ...
RARRES3 suppresses breast cancer lung metastasis by regulating adhesion and differentiation
(Wiley Blackwell, 2014-07)
In estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer patients, metastatic relapse usually occurs in the lung and is responsible for the fatal outcome of the disease. Thus, a better understanding of the biology of metastasis is ...
The effect of low solubility organic acids on the hygroscopicity of sodium halide aerosols
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2014)
In order to accurately assess the influence of fatty acids on the hygroscopic and other physicochemical properties of sea salt aerosols, hexanoic, octanoic or lauric acid together with sodium halide salts (NaCl, NaBr and ...
Possible antigravity regions in F (R) theory?
(Elsevier, 2014-03-07)
We construct an F(R) gravity theory corresponding to the Weyl invariant two scalar field theory. We investigate whether such F (R) gravity can have the antigravity regions where the Weyl curvature invariant does not diverge ...
Convergence Properties and Fixed Points of Two General Iterative Schemes with Composed Maps in Banach Spaces with Applications to Guaranteed Global Stability
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
This paper investigates the boundedness and convergence properties of two general iterative processes which involve sequences of self-mappings on either complete metric or Banach spaces. The sequences of self-mappings ...
Analysis of the Response Speed of Musculature of the Knee in Professional Male and Female Volleyball Players
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the normalized response speed (Vrn) of the knee musculature (flexor and extensor) in high competitive level volleyball players using tensiomyography (TMG) and to analyze the muscular ...
