Topology and Factorization of Polynomials
For any polynomial , we describe a
-vector space of solutions of a linear system of equations
coming from some algebraic partial differential equations such that the
dimension of is the number of irreducible factors of . Moreover, the
knowledge of gives a complete factorization of the polynomial by
taking gcd's. This generalizes previous results by Ruppert and Gao in the case

Pengaruh Suplementasi Seng Dan Probiotik Pasca Perawatan Diare Akut Cair Anak Terhadap Kejadian Diare Berulang
Background. Diarrhea remains a major health problem among children under five
years old in developing countries due to its high morbidity. Prevention of diarrhea is
needed to reduce the high incidence. Zinc has a function to shorten duration of
diarrhea and the use of probiotics preventing and treat acute diarrhea.
Objective. To prove effect of zinc and probiotic suplementation on the incidence of
recurrent acute watery diarrhea in children aged 6-24 months post-hospitalization.
Method. Seventy five subjects aged 6-24 months with acute diarrhea in Dr. Kariadi
Hospital, the subject of study I, was observed. The subjects were randomly divided
into four groups and received treatment in the form of zinc supplementation,
supplementation with probiotics, or a combination of zinc and probiotics and one
group as control. Each group received the standard form of rehydration therapy and
dietetic. Survival analysis was used to analyze the incidence of recurrent diarrhea
and Kruskal wallis was used to analyze the difference of frequency and duration of
recurrent diarrhea between four groups.
Result. The group who received zinc in conjunction with probiotics had mean
recurrent of diarrhea longer than the other three groups (10.94 weeks 95% CI 9.24 -
12.65). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean survival of
diarrhea in the four groups (p = 0.892). No significant differences in frequency and
duration of recurrent diarrhea in four groups at first, second and third month postsupplementation.
Conclussion. There were no significant differences between groups of zinc,
probiotics and a combination of zinc and probiotics on the average recurrent diarrhea,
duration and frequency of diarrhea.

Singularity \& Regularity Issues for Simplified Models of Turbulence
We consider a family of Leray- models with periodic boundary
conditions in three space dimensions. Such models are a regularization, with
respect to a parameter , of the Navier-Stokes equations. In particular,
they share with the original equation (NS) the property of existence of global
weak solutions. We establish an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of the
time singular set of those weak solutions when is subcritical. The
result is an interpolation between the bound proved by Scheffer for the
Navier-Stokes equations and the regularity result proved in \cite{A01}
