TRICOMI PROBLEM FOR A MIXED EQUATION OF SECOND ORDER WITH DISCONTINUOUS COEFFICIENTS

This paper is devoted to the Tricomi problem for a mixed type equation of second order. The coeffcients are assumed to be discontinuous on the line where the type is changed. The unique existence of the solution to the problem is proved if the domain is small enough. Correspondingly, some estimates on the solution is also established.

OSCILLATORY BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTIONS OF CERTAIN THIRD ORDER MIXED NEUTRAL DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS

The objective of this paper is to study the oscillatory and asymptotic properties of the mixed type third order neutral difference equation of the form△（an△^2（xn＋bnxn-τ1＋cnxn＋τ2））＋qnx^βn＋1-σ1＋pnx^^βn＋1＋σ2=0,where （an）, （bn}, （cn}, （qn} and （pn} are positive real sequences, β is a ratio of odd positive integers, τ1, τ2, and σ2 are positive integers. We establish some sufficient conditions which ensure that all solutions are either oscillatory or converges to zero. Some examples are presented to illustrate the main results.

Mobola plum seed methanolic extracts exhibit mixed type inhibition of angiotensinⅠ-converting enzyme in vitro

Objective: To explore the possible inhibitory potentials and mechanism by Mobola plum(Parinari curatellifolia) seeds crude methanol(CE) and flavonoid-rich(FE) extracts on angiotensin-1-converting enzyme(ACE Ⅰ).Methods: The sensitivity and kinetic model of inhibition of CE and FE on ACE Ⅰ using N-[3-(2-furyl)-acryloyl]-Phe-Gly-Gly as enzyme substrate for ACE Ⅰ was evaluated by Michealis Menten approach. The inhibition mechanism was explored from Lineweaver–Burk model and IC_(50) was determined from Cheng–Prusoff empirical analysis.Results: The IC_(50) of CE and FE were 13.54 and 39.38 mg/m L, respectively. Both extracts exhibited mixed type inhibition with the inhibitory constant(K_i) of CE was between0.38 and 0.37 mg/m L while that of FE showed a two-fold increase(1.62 mg/mL and0.28 mg/mL). FE on ACE Ⅰ demonstrated positive cooperativity with a Hill's coefficient of1.89.Conclusions: The study reveals the superior ACE Ⅰ inhibitory potential of CE over FE and suggest that mixed inhibition pattern of the enzyme might be the underlying mechanism of antihypertensive activity.

UNIFORM BLOW-UP PROFILES FOR HEAT EQUATIONS WITH COUPLING NONLOCAL SOURCES OF ASYMMETRIC MIXED TYPE NONLINEARITIES

This article deals with a nonlocal heat system subject to null Dirichlet bound- ary conditions, where the coupling nonlocal sources consist of mixed type asymmetric non- linearities. We at first give the criterion for simultaneous blow-up of solutions, and then establish the uniform blow-up profiles of solutions near the blow-up time. It is observed that not only the simultaneous blow-up rates of the two components u and v are asymmet- ric, but also the blow-up rates of the same component u （or v） may be in different levels under different dominations.

Mixed type Ⅰ and Ⅱ choledochal cyst in an adult

BACKGROUND:Choledochal cysts are classified into five types based on the location of the cyst.Mixed types of choledochal cysts are extremely rare.Only five cases of mixed typeⅠandⅡcholedochal cysts have been reported, of which one was an adult case.We report a mixed typeⅠ andⅡcholedochal cyst in a 25-year-old man. METHODS:The unusual nature of the choledochal cyst, suspected on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography RCP to be typeⅠinitially,was confirmed by laparotomy to be a mixed typeⅠ+Ⅱcyst.Excision of the cyst and hepaticojejunostomy were performed. RESULT:The operation was uneventful,and the patient recovered well. CONCLUSIONS:Mixed type choledochal cysts are rare, and may be missed on imaging,unless careful evaluation is done.The operative method may not need to be modified significantly,as in the management of our case.

Two-Dimensional Riemann Problems:Transonic Shock Waves and Free Boundary Problems

We are concerned with global solutions of multidimensional(M-D)Riemann problems for nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws,focusing on their global configurations and structures.We present some recent developments in the rigorous analysis of two-dimensional(2-D)Riemann problems involving transonic shock waves through several prototypes of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws and discuss some further M-D Riemann problems and related problems for nonlinear partial differential equations.In particular,we present four different 2-D Riemann problems through these prototypes of hyperbolic systems and show how these Riemann problems can be reformulated/solved as free boundary problems with transonic shock waves as free boundaries for the corresponding nonlinear conservation laws of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type and related nonlinear partial differential equations.

Ruptured hepatoblastoma with massive internal bleeding in an adult

Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary hepatic tumor of children. However, only a very few cases have been reported in adults. Most studies support treatment with chemotherapy followed by surgical resection. We present the first reported case of adult hepatoblastoma in Taiwan. A 52-year-old female suffered from sudden onset of abdominal pain and general weakness for days.Internal bleeding with hemorrhagic shock was suspected and two massive lesions in both lobes of the liver with hemoperitoneum were noted from imaging studies.Surgical resection of the larger left lobe tumor and radio-frequency ablation of the right smaller one were performed. The histopathology diagnosis was of a hepatoblastoma.

Comparative Analysis of a Jack-up Drilling Unit with Different Leg Systems

The jack-up unit is one of the best drilling platforms in offshore oil fields with water depth shallower than 150 meters.As the most pivotal component of the jack-up unit,the leg system can directly affect the global performance of a jack-up unit.Investigation shows that there are three kinds of leg structure forms in the world now:the reverse K,X,and mixing types.In order to clarify the advantage and defects of each one,as well as their effect on the global performance of the jack-up unit,this paper commenced to study performance targets ofa deepwater jack-up unit with different leg systems(X type,reverse K type,and mixing type).In this paper a typical leg scantling dimension and identical external loads were selected,detailed finite element snalysis(FEA)models were built to simulate the jack-up unit's structural behavior,and the multi-point constraint(MPC)element together with the spring element was used to deal with the boundary condition.Finally,the above problems were solved by comparative analysis of their main performance targets(including ultimate static strength,dynamic response,and weight).
