In this paper, we establish some oscillation criteria for nonautonomous second order neutral delay dynamic equations $(x(t){\pm}r(t)x({\tau}(t)))^{{\Delta}{\Delta}}+H(t,\;x(h_1(t)),\;x^{\Delta}(h_2(t)))=0$ on a time scale ${\mathbb{T}}$. Oscillatory behavior of such equations is not studied before. This is a first paper concerning these equations. The results are not only can be applied on neutral differential equations when ${\mathbb{T}}={\mathbb{R}}$, neutral delay difference equations when ${\mathbb{T}}={\mathbb{N}}$ and for neutral delay q-difference equations when ${\mathbb{T}}=q^{\mathbb{N}}$ for q>1, but also improved most previous results. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate our main results. These examples arc [lot discussed before and there is no previous theorems determine the oscillatory behavior of such equations.

With the help of the coincidence degree and the related continuation theorem, we explore the existence of at least two periodic solutions of a discrete time non-autonomous ratio-dependent predator-prey system with control. Some easily verifiable sufficient criteria are established for the existence of at least two positive periodic solutions.

An analysis is presented for the primary resonance of a clamped-hinged beam, which occurs when the frequency of excitation is near one of the natural frequencies, .omega.$_{n}$. Three mode interactions, .omega.$_{2}$=3.omega.$_{1}$, and .omega.$_{3}$=.omega.$_{1}$+2.omega.$_{2}$, are considered and their influence on the response is studied. The case of two mode interaction, .omega.$_{2}$=3.omega.$_{1}$, is also considered in order to compare it with the case of three mode interactions. The straight beam experiencing mid-plane stretching is governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation. By using Galerkin's method the governing equation is reduced to a system of nonautonomous nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The method of multiple scales is applied to obtain steady-state responses of the system. Results of numerical investions show that there exists no significant difference between both modal interactions.
