Dihedral Cohomology Of An Infinity Algebras, Alaa Hassan Noreldeen Mohamed, Samar A. Abo Quota Dec 2021

Dihedral Cohomology Of An Infinity Algebras, Alaa Hassan Noreldeen Mohamed, Samar A. Abo Quota

Information Sciences Letters

In this research, the basic definitions of an operad, graded algebra, and A∞-module are introduced. The A∞-algebras and their (co)homology are studied to obtain the relations between the cyclic and dihedral (co)homology. The L∞-algebras are discussed, and the relations of the isomorphism between primitive and indecomposable elements in the L∞-algebras are presented. We demonstrate the relation between cyclic and dihedral (co)homology of L∞-algebras. Finally, the Mayer-Vietoris sequence of L∞-algebras is investigated.

On Generalize L-Moments Method And Application On Control Chart For Monitoring Fractional, Rates And Proportions Data, Enayat M. Abd Elrazik, Mahmoud M. Mansour

Information Sciences Letters

This paper proposes GL-moments’ method as a generalization to the TL-moments and the L-moments methods. Population GL-moments in terms of the quantile function and shifted Jacobi polynomials were defined. Some relations between GL-moments depending on Jacobi Polynomials were also derived. Furthermore, interpretation of the first two population GL-moments by U-statistics was introduced. Also, we obtained two expressions to estimate the population GL-moments: the first expression, which depends on Downton’s estimator, is a nearly unbiased estimator. Finally, to avoid an upper control limit exceeding one in p-chart, we propose a control chart based on generalized linear moments for monitoring fractional, rates …

Higher Order Variational Inequalities, Muhammad Aslam Noor, Khalida Inayat Noor, Hilal M. Y. Al-Bayatti

Information Sciences Letters

In this paper, we prove that the optimality conditions of the higher order strongly convex functions are characterized by a class of variational inequalities, which is called the higher order strongly variational inequality. Auxiliary principle technique is used to suggest an implicit method for solving higher order strongly variational inequalities. Convergence analysis of the proposed method is investigated using the pseudo-monotonicity of the operator. Some special cases also discussed. Results obtained in this paper can be viewed as refinement and improvement of previously known results.

Aspect Of Universal Values And Their Linguistic Analysis, Navruza Yakhyayeva

Scientific reports of Bukhara State University

Abstract. The following research focuses on universal value analyses and lingvocultural analysis. It primarily focuses on the innovation, in that the concept of linguistic analysis has been combined with the concept of text. Furthermore, this method raises the work's theoretical level. These values therefore have an impact on how citizens are motivated to act as citizens and how their acts as global citizens are validated. Values serve as social action regulators. According to some researchers, education tends to lead to emancipation. "Universal value" refers to uncritically copying the value system of another country, supporting so-called "western" "freedom, democracy, equality, and …

Types Of Speech Acts And Its’ Studying In Linguistics, Shakhrinoz Azimova

Scientific reports of Bukhara State University

Introduction. Pragma-linguistics is a branch of linguistics that examines the interrelationships between speech functions and speech forms. The speech situation is a situation that causes speech. It consists of several components. They are speaker and interlocutors, speech context, speech objectives, speech act as a form of action or activity, and utterance as a product of verbal action. The last studies show that there are some issues in pragma-linguistics related to speech situation and interactions between speech participants. These problems occur as a result of not being able to manage the speech situation properly or not knowing the usage of speech …

Heterologous Phasin Expression In Rhodopseudomonas Palustris Cga009 For Bioplastic Production From Lignocellulosic Biomass, Brandi Brown, Cheryl Immethun, Adil Alsiyabi, Dianna Long, Mark Wilkins, Rajib Saha

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Faculty Publications

Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009 is a metabolically robust microbe that can utilize lignin breakdown products to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), biopolymers with the potential to replace conventional plastics. Our recent efforts suggest PHA granule formation is a limiting factor for maximum production of the bioplastic poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) by R. palustris. The Phap1 phasin (phaP1) from the PHBproducing model bacterium Cupriavidus necator H16 was expressed in R. palustris with the aim of overproducing PHBV from the lignin breakdown product p-coumarate by fostering smaller and more abundant granules. Expression of phaP1 yielded PHBV production from R. palustris aerobically (0.7 g/L), which does …
