Existence and regularity estimates for quasilinear equations with measure data: the case 1<p≤3n−22n−11<p\leq \frac{3n-2}{2n-1}

We obtain existence and global regularity estimates for gradients of solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations with measure data whose prototypes are of the form $-{\rm div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u)= \delta\, |\nabla u|^q +\mu$ in a bounded main \Om\subset\RR^n potentially with non-smooth boundary. Here either $\delta=0$ or $\delta=1$, $\mu$ is a finite signed Radon measure in $\Omega$, and $q$ is of linear or super-linear growth, i.e., $q\geq 1$. Our main concern is to extend earlier results to the strongly singular case $1<p\leq \frac{3n-2}{2n-1}$. In particular, in the case $\delta=1$ which corresponds to a Riccati type equation, we settle the question of solvability that has been raised for some time in the literature.Comment: 18 page

A study on application of SFCL in vietnam power distribution system with distributed generators (DGs)

As the power load demand is rapidly increasing nowadays, many new power generation units are continuously connected to the power system such as small hydropower, wind power, solar cell, and so on. However, in a distribution system, the presence of Distributed Generators (DGs) would generally change the distribution system's behavior. This change can affect to the operation and protection of devices in power system and the original parameters will be deviated. Especially, the fault current of power system with DGs is dramatically increasing, and Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) has attracted lots of attention as one of the best correctives to solve these issues. This paper proposes a strategy on application of SFCL in distribution system to solve the problems related to excessive short-circuit current and the mitigation of voltage sag due to the introduction of the DGs. Firstly, a Resistive-type SFCL (R_SFCL) is modeled by Matlab/Simulink. Next, a distribution system of Southern Vietnam power system is selected and simulated. Finally, according to the simulation results, the short circuit current and voltage sag improvements can be validated

FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF POROUS NANOPLATES USING NURBS FORMULATIONS

This paper presents free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) porous nanoplates based on isogeometric approach. Material properties of the nanoplates are given by using a modified power-law function. The Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity is used to capture the size effects. Based on a combination of the Hamilton’s principle and the higher order shear deformation theory, the governing equations of the porous nanoplates are derived. The obtained results demonstrate the significance of nonlocal parameter, porosity volume fraction, porosity distributions and volume fraction exponent on free vibration analysis of the nanoplates with porosities

ANALYSIS OF PRESCRIPTION INDICATORS FOR OUTPATIENTS WITH HEALTH INSURANCE IN OUTPATIENTS DEPARTMENT AT CAN THO UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND PHARMACY HOSPITAL IN THE PERIOD 2017-2018

Objective: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the drug prescription parameters and to find out the elements had an influence on the prescribing practice of doctors’. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to collect 300 outpatient drug prescriptions and 30 questionnaires of physicians during the period of 2017-2018. The data were analyzed according to WHO’s the guideline. Results: Average number of drug per prescription: 3.73, percentage of drugs prescribed by generic or international name (INN): 100%, percentage of prescriptions with an antibiotic prescribed: 24%, of β-lactam antibiotics group, including cephalosporin (31.17%) and aminopenicillin (27.27%), accounted for the highest percentage of using in antibiotic groups with a total of 58.44%, of corticosteroid: 12%, of vitamin: 27.3%, of drugs prescribed including in the Essential Medicines List issued by the Ministry of Health: 35.3%. Average drug cost per prescription: 88,867 VNĐ. Percentage of drug costs for antibiotics (%): 7.48%, of corticosteroids (%): 1.85% and of vitamins (%): 5.25%. Conclusion: The results of this research have identified some prescription indicators and elements affect the prescription indicators such as drug information, patient, drug, which may lead to intervention studies for evaluating changes in these issues in the outpatient clinic

Ectopic Pregnancy Located at Pelvic Wall and Liver: Two Uncommon Case Reports From Vietnam and Mini-Review Literature

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Abdominal ectopic pregnancy (AEP) located at hepatic region and pelvic-wall ectopic pregnancy (EP) are rare entities, that provoking a potentially life-threatening condition. Due to insufficient data, a proper management of non-specific types remains a challenge for all gynecologists worldwide. CASE PRESENTATION: Two child-bearing age women were hospitalized due to delayed menstruation and a urine pregnancy test was positive without a determination of intrauterine pregnancy. The first EP case was located at the pelvic wall which identified incidentally during laparoscopy for a presumed tubal ectopic pregnancy on ultrasonography throughout. The second EP case was found at the hepatic region due to intermittent pain rising from the right upper quadrant region and serial ultrasonic findings. In our management, both cases were successfully assessed by laparoscopy and laparotomy without requiring further intervention, respectively. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: An accurate diagnosis of EP location at liver and pelvic wall is totally difficult since its uncommon location. An initial assessment should be based on clinical symptoms and the treatment remains controversial. The surgical management including laparotomy and laparoscopy depends on clinical evaluation, experience of surgeon, and interdisciplinary team. Thus, these abnormal sites of ectopic pregnancy ought to take into consideration for all gynecologists in an emergency condition with a major hemorrhage. CONCLUSIONS: In reproductive age women, primary EP at liver and pelvic wall should be considered with high index of suspicion if intrauterine pregnancy is totally excluded. Timely diagnosis, rational management by surgical excision, and a multidisciplinary team can reduce substantially adverse outcomes
