Ethical Foreground and Background in Adult Educator Work

open access: yesNew Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adult educators work in a complex ethical environment. The very act of contributing to the learning of another is fraught with moral overtones. In this paper we consider the ethical dimensions of adult educator practice by distinguishing the ethical features of the context or ‘background’ of practice from the ethical capabilities and decision ...

A free boundary focusing problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
We consider a one-dimensional free boundary problem arising in combustion theory and establish that all solutions are asymptotically equal to a similarity solution which vanishes in a finite time.

A free boundary problem for the Stokes equations [PDF]

open access: yesESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, 2016
A free boundary problem for the Stokes equations governing a viscous flow with over-determined condition on the free boundary is investigated. This free boundary problem is transformed into a shape optimization one which consists in minimizing a Kohn–Vogelius energy cost functional. Existence of the material derivatives of

Spatial and Volumetric Characteristics of Glioblastoma: Associations With Clinical Presentation and Survival

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We aim to comprehensively analyze how regional tumor and edema characteristics are associated with clinical presentations and survival outcomes in a large cohort of glioblastoma patients. Methods Patients with IDH‐wildtype glioblastoma who received brain MRI from 2010 to 2023 were included.

Automated Hand Flexor Tendon–Thickness Measurement in Systemic Sclerosis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) can affect flexor tendons, contributing to hand function problems and reduced quality of life. Tendon changes are currently assessed with ultrasonography and measured manually, a time‐consuming process prone to interobserver variability.

Stability of Solutions to a Free Boundary Problem for Tumor Growth

open access: yesInternational Journal of Differential Equations, 2014
We study the asymptotic behaviour of quasi-stationary solutions of a free boundary problem which had been discussed by Bueno (2005). Using a simpler method we prove that the quasi-steady solutions of the problem converge uniformly to the unique ...

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 566-581, March 2025.
A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.

Self-similar solutions of a multi-phase Stefan problem on the half-line

open access: yesСовременная математика: Фундаментальные направления
In this paper, we study self-similar solutions of the multiphase Stefan problem for the heat equation on the half-line x 0 with constant initial data and Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. In the case of the Dirichlet boundary condition, we prove
