Platelet function evaluation by PFA-100 or -200 has been known to be objective and sensitive for assessing platelet function and dysfunction of Von Willebrand Factor in humans and dogs. However, using the C/EPI cartridge in dogs is controversial. This study aimed to establish a reference range for PFA closure time in healthy small breed dogs (body weight < 10 kg) and to evaluate the effectiveness of both C/ADP and C/EPI cartridges for these dogs. Citrated blood samples were collected from 50 clinically healthy small breed dogs that were admitted for presurgical procedures or health checkups, and closure times were measured using the PFA-200. Reference ranges were determined as 42-144 s (median 67 s, mean 71.2 s, SD ± 21.2 s, 95% RI 43-140 s) , for CT-C/ADP and 41-200 s (median 87, mean 91.2 s, SD ± 31.8 s, 95% RI 44-195 s) for CT-C/EPI. The present study demonstrated that the reference ranges for PFA closure times in small breed dogs are in line with existing reference ranges. The utilization of C/ADP cartridges is the preferred choice for evaluating platelet function in small breed dogs. However, due to variable responses of epinephrine to platelet aggregation in dogs, caution should be exercised when using C/EPI cartridges.

In this paper, we study hash function, which will take a message of arbitrary length and produce a massage digest of a specified size. The message digest will then be signed. We have to be careful that the use of a hash function h does not weaken the security of the signature scheme, for it is the message digest that is signed, not the message. It will be necessary for h to satisfy certain properties in order to prevent various forgeries. In order to prevent various type of attack, we require that hash function satisfy collision-free property. In section 1, we introduce some definitions and collision-free properties of hash function. In section 2, we study a discrete log hash function and introduce the main theorem as follows : Theorem Suppose $h:X{\rightarrow}Z$ is a hash function. For any $z{\in}Z$, let $$h^{-1}(z)={\lbrace}x:h(x)=z{\rbrace}$$ and denote $s_z={\mid}h^{-1}(z){\mid}$. Define $$N={\mid}{\lbrace}{\lbrace}x_1,x_2{\rbrace}:h(x_1)=h(x_2){\rbrace}{\mid}$$. Then (1) $\sum\limits_{z{\in}Z}s_z={\mid}x{\mid}$ and the mean of the $s_z$'s is $\bar{s}=\frac{{\mid}X{\mid}}{{\mid}Z{\mid}}$ (2) $N=\sum\limits_{z{\in}Z}{\small{s_z}}C_2=\frac{1}{2}\sum\limits_{z{\in}Z}S_z{^2}-\frac{{\mid}X{\mid}}{2}$. (2) $\sum\limits_{z{\in}Z}(S_z-\bar{s})^2=2N+{\mid}X{\mid}-\frac{{\mid}X{\mid}^2}{{\mid}Z{\mid}}$.

When passband ripple α/sub p/ and stopband attenuation α/sub s/ at the w/sub s/ where the stopband begins are specified in filter design, △α/sub s/ usually exceeds the specification by △α/sub s/ due to the necessity that the order n of the filter function be an integer. In this paper, we apply a trade-off method to remove the excess stopband attenuation △α/sub s/ for reducing the value of pole-Q and improving the characteristics of the Chebyshev filter function. We also apply the trade-off method of pole-Q reduction to the modified Chebyshev function, and then the 4 types of function have been analyzed to compare in frequency and time domain characteristics. The trade-off method reduces the pole-Q which influences the filter characteristics to maximum 49.6% without increase of the order n. Thus implies that they have the improved characteristics such as the reduced passband ripple and flatter delay characteristics as compared Chebyshev filter function before trade-off. And the unit step response shows shorter delay time and settling time in time domain performance.

The weakened forms of the (${\theta},s$)-continuous function are introduced and their basic properties are investigated in concern with the other weakened continuous function. The open property of a function and the extremal disconnectedness of the spaces are crucial tools for the survey of these functions.

The authors aim at presenting summation formulas of Appell's function $F_1$: $$F_1(a;b,b';1+a+b-b'+i;1,-1)\;(i=0,\;{\pm}1,\;{\pm}2,\;{\pm}3,\;{\pm}4,\;{\pm}5)$$, which, for i=0, yields a known result due to Srivastava.

In 1982, N. Miller [5] showed a weighted $L^p$ boundedness theorem for pseudo differential operators with symbols $S^0_{1.0}$. In this paper, we shall prove the pointwise estimates, in terms of the Fefferman, Stein sharp function and Hardy Littlewood maximal function, for pseudo differential operators with reduced symbols and show a weighted $L^p$-boundedness for pseudo differential operators with symbol in $S^m_{\rho,\delta}$, 0{$\leq}{\delta}{\leq}{\rho}{\leq}1$, ${\delta}{\neq}1$, ${\rho}{\neq}0$ and $m=(n+1)(\rho-1)$.

We obtain the approximation order to a smooth function on a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}$ by generalized translation networks. In our study, the activation function is infinitely many times continuously differentiable function but it does not have special properties around ${\infty}$ and $-{\infty}$ like a sigmoidal activation function. Using the Jackson's Theorem, we get the approximation order. Especially, we obtain the approximation order by a neural network with a fixed threshold.

In this paper, a two-dimensional electroelastic analysis is performed on a piezoelectric material with an open crack. The approach of Lekhnitskii's complex potential functions is used in the derivation and Bueckner's weight function theory is extended to piezoelectric materials. The stress intensity factors and the electric displacement intensity factor are calculated by the weight function theory.

We present an explicit form for a class of definite integrals whose special cases include some definite integrals evaluated, over a century ago, by Cahen who made use of an appropriate contour integral for the integrand of a well-known integral representation of the Riemann Zeta function given in (3). Furthermore another analogous class of definite integral formulas and some identities involving Riemann Zeta function and Euler numbers En are also obtained as by-products.

The shape of an M-estimation function is generally determined in the sense of either/both maximizing efficiency of an M-estimator at the model or/and bounding the influence function of an M-estimator. We propose an empirical method of choosing a value of the bending constant in Huber's ${\psi}-function$, which is the most widely used M-estimation function when estimating the location parameter.
