Financial Distress and Its Determinants in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To quantify the degree of financial distress and identify its determinants in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) given the frequent prolonged use of expensive disease‐modifying therapies. Methods We identified adults enrolled in the FORWARD databank with either RA or noninflammatory musculoskeletal disease (NIMSKD) completing the ...

Modified Suzuki-Simulation Type Contractive Mapping in Non-Archimedean Quasi Modular Metric Spaces and Application to Graph Theory

Mathematics, 2019
In this paper, we establish generalized Suzuki-simulation-type contractive mapping and prove fixed point theorems on non-Archimedean quasi modular metric spaces. As an application, we acquire graphic-type results.

Differential Item Functioning on the Patient Health Questionnaire‐8 by Disease Subtype, Language, Sex, and Age among People with Systemic Sclerosis: A Scleroderma Patient‐centered Intervention Network Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Somatic items used in depression assessments can potentially overlap with symptoms related to physical illness, including systemic sclerosis (SSc). No studies have looked at whether somatic depression items may be influenced by diffuse versus limited SSc disease subtypes, which are associated with varying degrees of symptom presentation.

On a generalized Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem

Open Mathematics
This study concerns a Krasnoselskii-type fixed point theorem for the sum of two operators A,BA,B in a Banach space EE, where BB is a Reich-type contractive mapping and AA is a k-set contractive mapping.

On Best Proximity Results for a Generalized Modified Ishikawa’s Iterative Scheme Driven by Perturbed 2-Cyclic Like-Contractive Self-Maps in Uniformly Convex Banach Spaces

Journal of Mathematics, 2019
This paper proposes a generalized modified iterative scheme where the composed self-mapping driving can have distinct step-dependent composition order in both the auxiliary iterative equation and the main one integrated in Ishikawa’s scheme.

Hopfield Neural Networks for Online Constrained Parameter Estimation With Time‐Varying Dynamics and Disturbances

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This paper proposes two projector‐based Hopfield neural network (HNN) estimators for online, constrained parameter estimation under time‐varying data, additive disturbances, and slowly drifting physical parameters. The first is a constraint‐aware HNN that enforces linear equalities and inequalities (via slack neurons) and continuously tracks the ...

Fixed Point Results of Locally Contractive Mappings in Ordered Quasi-Partial Metric Spaces

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Fixed point results for a self-map satisfying locally contractive conditions on a closed ball in an ordered 0-complete quasi-partial metric space have been established. Instead of monotone mapping, the notion of dominated mappings is applied.

On the Impact Energy Absorption of an Advanced High‐Strength Bilayer Steel Composite Consisting of Carbide‐Free Bainitic Steel and High‐Mn Twinning‐Induced Plasticity Steel

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Excellent combinations of strength and impact toughness are obtained in a bilayer composite of high‐strength carbide‐free bainitic (CFB) steel and high‐ductility twinning‐induced plasticity (TWIP) steel. The composite absorbs energy at small strains when the notch is placed on the TWIP side and at high strains when the notch is placed on the CFB side ...

Mappings contracting triangles

The aim of the current paper is to introduce a new class of contractive mappings, which are contracting (a feature of) triangles. We prove that maps contracting triangles are continuous and give the fixed point result for such mappings. We emphasize that our main theorem encompasses many functions, with significant applicability, for which the result ...
