The structure of extended function groups

We obtain a (p,?)-extension of Srivastava?s triple hypergeometric function HC(?) by employing the extended Beta function Bp,?(x, y) introduced in Parmar et al. [J. Class. Anal. 11 (2017), 91-106]. We give some of the main properties of this extended function, which include several integral representations, the Mellin transform, a differential formula, recursion formulas and a bounded inequality.

Extended Function

The intelligent building is supposed to provide the environment and means for an optimal utilization of the building, according to its designation. This extended function of a building can be achieved only by means of an extensive use of building service systems, such as HVAC, electric power, communication, safety and security, transportation, sanitation, etc. Building intelligence is not related to the sophistication of service systems in a building, but rather to the integration among the various service systems, and between the systems and the building structure. Systems' integration can be accomplished through teamwork planning of the building, starting at the initial design stages of the building. This paper examines some existing buildings claimed to be “intelligent”, according to their level of systems' integration. Intelligent buildings respond to the needs of occupants and society, promoting the well-being of those living and working in them and providing value through increasing staff productivity and reducing operational costs. Intelligent Buildings considers cultural changes affecting the way people live and work, the importance of an integrated approach to design and management and the benefits technological developments can bring in developing sustainable buildings that meet users' needs.

Extended Function

In this paper the Analytically Extended Function (AEF) with p peaks is used for representation of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) currents and lightning discharge currents. The fitting to data is achieved by interpolation of certain data points. In order to minimize unstable behaviour, the exponents of the AEF are chosen from a certain arithmetic sequence and the interpolated points are chosen according to a D-optimal design. The method is illustrated using several examples of currents taken from standards and measurements.

Extended Function

From the 1st to 6th days of pregnancy in the rat, while the blastocyst is still in the fallopian tube, there is high peroxidase activity in the corpus luteum, the blastocyst, and there is high peroxidase activity in the endometrium. On day 8 of pregnancy, peroxidase activity in the corpus luteum begins to fall rapidly, and there is a sharp rise in the peroxidase activity of the uterine endometrium. In all these tissues an inverse relationship exists between peroxidase and ascorbate content. We suggest the involvement of the peroxidase-ascorbate system in the mechanism of the extended function of the corpus luteum during pregnancy and a role for free radicals in the process of implantation of the blastocyst in the uterus.

Extended Function

Amongst the problems of contact grammaticalisation research in past studies has been, first, the problem of searching for diachronic evidence in relatively ‘new’ language situations, something which was advocated by Bruyn (2009), amongst others as essential to contact grammaticalisation research. Because of the absence of stage-by-stage diachronic evidence for contact grammaticalisation, many cases of ordinary contact-induced grammaticalisation may at first appear as simply calques (polysemy-copying in Heine & Kuteva 2005). The present study reveals the presence of lexical persistence in the age-graded distribution of the perfective marker already in Singaporean and Malaysian English, and demonstrates that even ordinary contact-induced grammaticalisation may be gradual if it is mediated by constraints from the lexifier source material. The study also questions the hypothesis of Total Systemic Transfer of the Chinese perfective aspectual system in Singapore English (Bao, 2001; 2005; 2015), and suggests an extended function for the Lexifier Filter in contact.

Visitor center plays an important role in the normal operation and sustainable development of scenic spots, especially as a portal image of its management. This paper presents resilience theory for visitor centers to identify some common issues in designing visitor centers in China scenic spots, including the lack of function, loss of architectural characteristics, and difficultly in adapting to changes in the number of visitors with periodic variations. The framework of resilience theory was set from four dimensions, namely, resilience and match in the composition of ontology function, the extended function, integration of buildings into the surrounding environment, and alternative construction technologies and materials. This theory was explained and analyzed with the application of the theory in practice in combination with the design of Mount Hua visitor center. Results showed that resilience theory yields good application effect.
