A comparison method for the fractional Laplacian and applications

We study the boundary behavior of solutions to fractional elliptic equations. As the first result, the isolation of the first eigenvalue of the fractional Lane-Emden equation is proved in the bounded open sets with Wiener regular boundary. Then, a generalized Hopf's lemma and a global boundary Harnack inequality are proved for the fractional elliptic equations.Comment: 20 pages, several minor correction

Extremal functions for a fractional Morrey inequality: Symmetry properties and limit at infinity

In a series of articles, Ryan Hynd and Francis Seuffert have studied extremal functions for the Morrey inequality. Building upon their work, we study the extremals of a Morrey-type inequality for fractional Sobolev spaces. We verify a few of the results in the spirit of Hynd and Seuffert concerning the symmetry of extremals and their limit at infinity.Comment: 40 page

A perturbative approach to H\"older continuity of solutions to a nonlocal pp-parabolic equation

We study local boundedness and H\"older continuity of a parabolic equation involving the fractional $p$-Laplacian of order $s$, with $0<s<1$, $2\leq p < \infty$, with a general right hand side. We focus on obtaining precise H\"older continuity estimates. The proof is based on a perturbative argument using the already known H\"older continuity estimate for solutions to the equation with zero right hand side.Comment: 47 page

Feature based workshop oriented NC planning for asymmetric rotational parts

This thesis describes research which is aimed at devising a framework for a feature based workshop oriented NC planning. The principal objective of this thesis is to utilize a feature based method which can rationalize and enhance part description and in particular part planning and programming on the shop-floor. This work has been done taking into account new developments in the area of shop floor programming. The importance of the techniques and conventions which are addressed in this thesis stems from the recognition that the most effective way to improve and enhance part description is to capture the intent of the engineering drawing by devising a medium in which the recurring patterns of turned components can be modelled for machining. Experimental application software which allows the user to describe the workpiece and subsequently generate the manufacturing code has been realized

The Relationship between Organizational Justice Perception and Job Satisfaction: a study on employees of Kerman University of Medical Sciences

Background: Motivated employees are the most valuable resource of the organization. Thus, considering their needs and satisfaction is important. Organizational justice, due to its significant impacts on the organizational and individual work outcomes, employees’ attitudes and behaviors like job satisfaction, is of a great importance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between organizational justice perception and job satisfaction among employees of Kerman University of Medical Sciences. Methods: The target population of this study was headquartering employees of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, among whom 285 ones were selected. For the assessment of distributive justice Niehoff and Moorman questionnaire, for procedural and interactional justice Moorman questionnaire and for job satisfaction JSS (Job Satisfaction Survey) questionnaire were used. Results: All three dimensions of organizational justice including distributive, procedural and interactional justice had a significant relationship with job satisfaction. But among the three dimensions of organizational justice, only distributive and interactional justice could predict job satisfaction. Also, organizational justice and job satisfaction of employees were not significantly different based on sex, age group, job tenure, employment status, and education. Conclusion: Since organizational justice and its dimensions have a significant relationship with job satisfaction and organizational justice can predict job satisfaction, managers should pay attention to organizational justice which leads to enhanced job satisfaction. Keywords: Organizational justice, Distributive justice, Procedural justice, Interactional justice, Job satisfactio

Impatto dell\u27aggiunta della vitamina C sul profilo degli acidi grassi contenuti nella carne del petto dei polli da carne

This experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of using three different levels of vitamin C (0, 200 and 400 mg/kg) in diet on fatty acid profiles of breast meat of broilers. The experiment was performed in a completely randomized design in 3 treatments and 4 replicates with 10 chickens per pen for 42 days using 120 one-day-old male chickens of commercial Ross 308 strain. Data analysis was performed by SAS statistical software and the comparison of the means with Duncan\u27s multiple-range test at 5% probability level. The results showed that the percentage of saturated fatty acids such as myristic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid decreased by 200 mg/kg vitamin C. Also, the amount of unsaturated fatty acids increased at the same level of vitamin C and the saturated fatty acids were reduced.Cilj istraživanja bio je procijeniti koje učinke uvrštavanje tri različite razine vitamina C (0, 200 i 400 mg/kg) u prehranu ima na profil masnih kiselina u mesu prsa brojlera. Istraživanje je provedeno u 3 ciklusa i 4 ponavljanja u trajanju od 42 dana, na potpuno randomiziranom uzorku od 10 pilića po kavezu, ukupno 120 jednodnevnih muških pilića komercijalnog hibrida Ross 308. Analiza podataka provedena je uporabom programa za statističku analizu SAS, dok je usporedba srednjih vrijednost izvršena Duncanovim testom višestrukog raspona uz vjerojatnost pogreške od 5 %. Rezultati su pokazali da se kod dodatka vitamina C razine 200 mg/kg smanjio postotak zasićenih masnih kiselina poput miristinske, palmitinske i stearinske kiseline, pri čemu se količina nezasićenih masnih kiselina povećala, a količina zasićenih masnih kiselina smanjila.Ziel der Studie war es, die Auswirkungen der Aufnahme von drei verschiedenen Vitamin C-Mengen (0, 200 und 400 mg / kg) in die Ernährung auf das Fettsäureprofil im Broilerbrustfleisch zu bewerten. Die Studie wurde in 3 Zyklen und 4 Wiederholungen in Dauer von 42 Tagen durchgeführt, an einer vollständig randomisierten Probe von 10 Hühnern pro Käfig, insgesamt 120 männliche Hühner im Alter von einem Tag des kommerziellen Hybrids Ross 308.
