Inherent electrochemical activity of TiO2 (anatase,rutile) enhances the charge capacity of cathodes of lithium-sulfur batteries

Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry - The addition of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (P90) to a cathode of Li/S cell enhances its voltammetric charge capacity by 19%, from which only a small...     

A characterization of sets in ℝ2 with DC distance function

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal - We give a complete characterization of closed sets F ? ?2 whose distance function dF:= dist(·, F) is DC (i.e., is the difference of two convex...     

A sharp inequality for the variance with respect to the Ewens sampling formula

Lithuanian Mathematical Journal - We examine the variance of a linear statistic defined on the symmetric group endowed with the Ewens probability. Despite the dependence of the summands, it can be...     

Evaluation of education scenarios for acquiring digital competences of secondary school students in Slovenia

Central European Journal of Operations Research - Digital competences are among the most important competences in modern society, with the education system playing a key role in the acquisition of...     

The Universality of an Absolutely Convergent Series on Short Intervals

Siberian Mathematical Journal - Under consideration is a Dirichlet series depending on a parameter and absolutely convergent in the right half of the critical strip. We prove that...     

On Joint Universality of the Riemann and Hurwitz Zeta-Functions

Mathematical Notes - In 2007, H. Mishou proved the universality theorem on the joint approximation of a pair of analytic functions by the shifts $$(\zeta(s+i\tau),\zeta(s+i\tau,\alpha))$$ of the...     

Periodic Golay pairs and pairwise balanced designs

Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics - In this paper we exploit a relationship between certain pairwise balanced designs with v points and periodic Golay pairs of length v, to classify periodic Golay...     

The Estimation of Parameters for the Tapered Pareto Distribution from Incomplete Data

Lithuanian Mathematical Journal - In this paper, we consider estimation of unknown parameters of the tapered Pareto distribution, which belongs to the class of semiheavy distributions, by a sample...     

Empirical tail conditional allocation and its consistency under minimal assumptions

Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics - Under minimal assumptions, we prove that an empirical estimator of the tail conditional allocation (TCA), also known as the marginal expected...     

A new idea to construct the fractal interpolation function

The aim of this paper is to present a new idea to construct the nonlinear fractal interpolation function, in which we exploit the Matkowski and the Rakotch fixed point theorems. Our technique is different from the methods presented in the previous literatures.
