We present a theoretical study of the non-symmetrical A/BC polymeric system. The polymer blends consist of two phases, a pure polymeric phase A on one side and a mixture of polymers B as a compatibilizer and C on the other. The adsorption of homopolymer B to the interface improves the interfacial adhesion between two phases. By employing the functional integral techniques, we derive the mean-field equations and solve them numerically to obtain the interfacial properties including the concentration profiles in the limit of infinite molecular weight for the polymers. Thecalculations of the interfacial properties are performed for typical values of the Flory X parameters and the volume fraction of polymer B in the asymptotic mixture phase. The interfacial adsorption of polymer B and the degrees of the specific interaction between the polymers play an important role in modification of the interfacial properties.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, R[X] the polynomial ring over R and S a multiplicative subset of R. Let U = {f ∈ R[X] | f is monic} and let N = {f ∈ R[X] | c(f) = R}. In this paper, we show that if S is an anti-Archimedean subset of R, then R is an S-Noetherian ring if and only if R[X]_U is an S-Noetherian ring, if and only if R[X]_N is an S-Noetherian ring. We also prove that if R is an integral domain and R[X]_U is an S-principal ideal domain, then R is an S-principal ideal domain.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys affected individuals' memory and reasoning faculties, and consequently, their ability to perform the simplest tasks. This study investigated the hub genes of AD. Proteins interact with other proteins and non-protein molecules, and these interactions play an important role in understanding protein function. Computational methods are useful for understanding biological problems, in particular, network analyses of protein-protein interactions. Through a protein network analysis, we identified the following top 10 hub genes associated with AD: PTGER3, C3AR1, NPY, ADCY2, CXCL12, CCR5, MTNR1A, CNR2, GRM2, and CXCL8. Through gene enrichment, it was identified that most gene functions could be classified as integral to the plasma membrane, G-protein coupled receptor activity, and cell communication under gene ontology, as well as involvement in signal transduction pathways. Based on the convergent functional genomics ranking, the prioritized genes were NPY, CXCL12, CCR5, and CNR2.

We present an accurate and efficient method to calculate the gravitational potential of an isolated system in three-dimensional Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates subject to vacuum (open) boundary conditions. Our method consists of two parts: an interior solver and a boundary solver. The interior solver adopts an eigenfunction expansion method together with a tridiagonal matrix solver to solve the Poisson equation subject to the zero boundary condition. The boundary solver employs James's method to calculate the boundary potential due to the screening charges required to keep the zero boundary condition for the interior solver. A full computation of gravitational potential requires running the interior solver twice and the boundary solver once. We develop a method to compute the discrete Green's function in cylindrical coordinates, which is an integral part of the James algorithm to maintain second-order accuracy. We implement our method in the {\tt Athena++} magnetohydrodynamics code, and perform various tests to check that our solver is second-order accurate and exhibits good parallel performance.

We present some results obtained from theoretical study on a non-symmetrical A/BC polymeric system including solvent which consists of two phases, a polymeric phase A on one side and a mixture of polymers B (as a compatibilizer) and C on the other in the presence of a solvent. By employing the functional integral techniques we derive the mean-field equations and solve them numerically to deduce the physical properties of the interface involving the polymers and solvent concentration profiles in the limit that molecular weights of all the polymers involved tend to infinity. The calculations are performed for typical values of the Flory interaction parameters and for the volume fraction of polymer B in the asymptotic phase and of solvent. In the polymers/solvent blend under consideration the interfacial adsorption of polymer B, the solvent concentration, and degrees of the specific interaction between the polymers are found to play important roles in modification of the interfacial properties.

The main object of this paper is to provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the generalized Struve functions of first kind to be in the classes 𝒮(k, λ) and 𝒞(k, λ). Furthermore, we give conditions for the integral operator 𝓛(m, c, z) = ∫^z₀(2 - u_p(t))dt to be in the class 𝒞^*(k, λ). Several corollaries and consequences of the main results are also considered.

We apply Fourier-Legendre-based integration methods that had been given by Campbell in 2021, to evaluate new rational double hypergeometric sums involving ${\frac{{1}}{\pi}}$. Closed-form evaluations for dilogarithmic expressions are key to our proofs of these results. The single sums obtained from our double series are either inevaluable $_2F_1({\frac{4}{5}})$- or $_2F_1({\frac{1}{2}})$-series, or Ramanujan's ₃F₂(1)-series for the moments of the complete elliptic integral K. Furthermore, we make use of Ramanujan's finite sum identity for the aforementioned ₃F₂(1)-family to construct creative new proofs of Landau's asymptotic formula for the Landau constants.

In this paper, we consider the weighted Bloch spaces ${\mathcal{B}}_q$(q > 0) on the open unit ball in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$. We prove a certain integral representation theorem that is used to determine the degree of growth of the functions in the space ${\mathcal{B}}_q$ for q > 0. This means that for each q > 0, the Banach dual of $L_a^1$ is ${\mathcal{B}}_q$ and the Banach dual of ${\mathcal{B}}_{q,0}$ is $L_a^1$ for each $q{\geq}1$.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. Let R be an integral domain and M a torsion-free R-module. We investigate the relation between the notion of e-exactness, recently introduced by Akray and Zebari [1], and generalized the concept of homology, and establish a relation between e-exact sequences and homology of modules. We modify some applications of e-exact sequences in homology and reprove some results of homology with e-exact sequences such as horseshoe lemma, long exact sequences, connecting homomorphisms and etc. Next, we generalize two special drived functor T or and Ext, and study some properties of them.

This study deals with the analytical and numerical solution for the combined wave reflection and diffraction near the impermeable rigid upright breakwater, subject to the excitation of a plane simple harmonic wave coming from infinity. Three cases are presented : a) the analytical solution near a thin semi-infinite breakwater, b) the analytical solution near the semi-infinite breakwaters of arbitrary edge angles, $30^{\circ},\;45^{\circ},\;and\;90^{\circ}$, c) the numerical solution near a detached thin breakwater the results are presented in amplification factor and wave height diagrams. Moreover, the amplification factors near the structure(2 wavelength before and behind the structure) are compared for the given cases. A finite difference technique for the numerical solution was applied to the integral equation obtained for the wave potential.
