ON PRIMALITY OF THE SMARANDACHE SYMMETRIC SEQUENCES

The study of primality for the Smarandache sequences represents a recent research direction on the Smarandache type notions. A few articles that were published recently deal with the primality of the direct and reverse Smarandache sequences. The primality of Smarandache symmetric sequences has not been studied yet. This article proposes some results concerning the non-primality of these symmetric sequences and presents some interesting conclusions on a large computational test on these

ON THE CONVERGENCE OF THE ERDOS HARMONIC SERIES

The purpose of this article is to study the convergence of a few series with the Erdos function. The work is based on results concerning the convergence of some series with the Smarandache function

A NEW EQUATION FOR THE LOAD BALANCE SCHEDULING BASED ON THE SMARANDACHE F-INFERIOR PART FUNCTION

A new equation for upper bounds is obtained based on the Smarandache f-inferior part function. An example involving tpper diagonal matrices is given in order to illustrate that the new equation provide a better computation

A Discrete Model for Histogram Shaping

The aim of this article is to present a discrete model for histogram shaping. This is an important image transformation with several practical applications. The model that is proposed is based on a generalization of the inferior part function. Finally, an algorithm based on this model is developed

Cancer and Breast Cancer Awareness Interventions in an Intellectual Disability Context: A Review of the Literature

Background: Women with an intellectual disability (ID) have a similar risk of developing breast cancer as women in the general population yet present with later stage breast cancers, which have poorer outcomes. Aim: To identify whether there is a need to develop a breast cancer awareness intervention for women with an ID. Methods: Interventions aimed at increasing cancer awareness and breast cancer awareness for people with an ID were identified and critically appraised. Results: Five interventions to increase cancer awareness or breast cancer awareness in people with an ID were identified. Conclusion: The review highlighted the paucity of theoretically underpinned breast cancer awareness interventions specifically aimed at women with an ID. Facilitating breast cancer awareness for women with an ID could potentially lead to earlier presentation of potential symptoms of breast cancer, earlier treatment, better prognosis and ultimately, improved survival. This article establishes that there is a need for an intervention underpinned by theory to increase breast cancer awareness in women with an ID
