AMS Subject Classification (2010): 33D15, 33D25, 33D35. 1 Introduction The Taylor formula for polynomials f (x) evaluates the coefficients fk in the expansion ∞ (k) k f (c) f (x)= ∑ fk(x − c) , fk = . (1) k=0 k! It is possible to generalize (1) by considering other polynomial bases and suitable operators. The fundamental theorem of calculus can be stated as follows. Theorem 1. If f is a continuous function on an interval (a; b), then f has an antiderivative on (a; b). Moreover, if F is any antiderivative of f on (a; b), then b f (x)dx = F(b) − F(a). (2) arXiv:1309.3934v1 [math.QA] 22 Aug 2013 Za The q version of this theorem was stated in [5] as follows. Theorem 2. If F(x) is an antiderivative of f (x) and if F(x) is continuous at x = 0, then b f (x)dq x = F(b) − F(a), 0 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ ∞. (3) Za ∗Email adress: [email protected] 1 Here the q-integral is defined by a ∞ k k f (x)dq x =(1 − q)a ∑ q f (aq ). (4) Z0 k=0 In this paper, two generalizations of (1) are given and a generalization of (3) is stated. The paper is organised as follows. • In Section 2, we introduce and give relevant properties of the (p, q)-derivative. The (p, q)- power basis is given and main of its properties are provided. The properties of the (p, q)- derivative combined with those of the (p, q)-power basis enable to state two (p, q)-Taylors for polynomials. It then follows connection formulas between the canonical basis and the (p, q)-power basis. • In Section 3, the (p, q)-antiderivative, the (p, q)-integral are introduced and sufficient con- dition for their convergence are investigated. Finally the fundamental theorem of (p, q)- calculus is proved and the formula of (p, q)-integration by part is derived. 2 The (p, q)-derivative and the (p, q)-power basis In this section, we introduce the (p, q)-derivative, the (p, q)-power and provide some of their rel- evant properties. Two (p, q)-Taylor formulas for polynomials are stated and some consequences are investigated. 2.1 The (p, q)-derivative Let f be a function defined on the set of the complex numbers. Definition 1. The (p, q)-derivative of the function f is defined as (see e.g. [4, 1]) f (px) − f (qx) D f (x)= , x 6= 0, (5) p,q (p − q)x ′ and (Dp,q f )(0)= f (0), provided that f is differentiable at 0. The so-called (p, q)-bracket or twin-basic number is defined as pn − qn [n] = . (6) p,q p − q n n−1 It happens clearly that Dp,qx = [n]p,qx . Notealso that for p = 1, the (p, q)-derivative reduces to the Hahn derivative given by f (x) − f (qx) D f (x)= , x 6= 0. q (1 − q)x As with ordinary derivative, the action of the (p, q)-derivative of a function is a linear operator. More precisely, for any constants a and b, Dp,q(a f (x)+ bg(x)) = aDp,q f (x)+ bDp,qg(x). The twin-basic number is a natural generalization of the q-number, that is 1 − qn lim[n]p,q = [n]q = , q 6= 1. (7) p→1 1 − q 2 The (p, q)-factorial is defined by n [n]p,q! = ∏[k]p,q!, n ≥ 1, [0]p,q! = 1. (8) k=1 Let us introduce also the so-called (p, q)-binomial coefficient n [n]p,q! = , 0 ≤ k ≤ n. (9) k [k] ![n − k] ! p,q p,q p,q are called (p, q)-binomial coefficients. Note that as p → 1, the (p, q)-binomial coefficients reduce to the q-binomial coefficients. Proposition 1. The (p, q)-derivative fulfils the following product rules Dp,q( f (x)g(x)) = f (px)Dp,qg(x)+ g(qx)Dp,q f (x), (10) Dp,q( f (x)g(x)) = g(px)Dp,q f (x)+ f (qx)Dp,qg(x) (11) Proof. From the definition of the (p, q)-derivative, we have f (px)g(px) − f (qx)g(qx) D ( f (x)g(x)) = p,q (p − q)x f (px)[g(px) − g(qx)] + g(qx)[ f (px) − f (qx)] = (p − q)x = f (px)Dp,qg(x)+ g(qx)Dp,q f (x). This proves (10). (11) is obtained by symmetry. Proposition 2. The (p, q)-derivative fulfils the following product rules f (x) g(qx)Dp,q f (x) − f (qx)Dp,qg(x) D = (12) p,q g(x) g(px)g(qx) f (x) g(px)Dp,q f (x) − f (px)Dp,qg(x) D = (13) p,q g(x) g(px)g(qx) Proof. The proof of this statements can be deduced using (10). 2.2 The (p, q)-power basis Here, we introduce the so-called (p, q)-power and investigate some of its relevant properties. The expression n n−1 n−1 (x ⊖ a)p,q =(x − a)(px − aq) · · · (px − aq ) (14) is called the (p, q)-power. These polynomials will be useful to state our Taylor formulas. Proposition 3. The following assertion is valid. n n−1 Dp,q(x ⊖ a)p,q = [n]p,q(px ⊖ a)p,q , n ≥ 1, (15) 0 and Dp,q(x ⊖ a)p,q = 0. 3 Proof. The proof follows by a direct computation. Proposition 4. Let γ be a complex number and n ≥ 1 be an integer, then n n−1 Dp,q(γx ⊖ a)p,q = γ[n]p,q(γpx ⊖ a)p,q . (16) Proof. The proof is done exactly as the proof of (15). We now generalize (15) in the following proposition. Proposition 5. Let n ≥ 1 be an integer, and 0 ≤ k ≤ n, the following rule applies k [n]p,q! k n (2) k n−k Dp,q(x ⊖ a)p,q = p (p x ⊖ a)p,q . (17) [n − k]p,q! Proof. The prove is done by induction with respect to k. Remark 1. For the classical derivative, it is known that for any complex number α, one has d xα = αxα−1. dx In what follows, we would like to state similar result for the Dp,q derivative as done for the Dq derivative in [5]. Proposition 6. Let m and n be two non negative integers. Then the following assertion is valid. m+n m m m n (x ⊖ a)p,q =(x ⊖ a)p,q(p x ⊖ q a)p,q. (18) In Proposition 6, if we take m = −n, then we get the following extension of the (p, q)-power basis. Definition 2. Let n be a non negative integer, then we set the following definition. −n 1 (x ⊖ a)p,q = −n −n n . (19) (p x ⊖ q a)p,q Proposition 7. For any two integers m and n, (18) holds. Proof. The case m > 0 and n > 0 has already been proved, and the case where one of m and n is zero is easy. Let us first consider the case m = −m′ < 0 and n > 0. Then, m m m n −m′ −m′ −m′ n (x ⊖ a)p,q(p x ⊖ q a)p,q = (x ⊖ a)p,q (p x ⊖ q a)p,q −m′ −m′ n (p x ⊖ q a)p,q by (19) = −m′ −m′ m′ (p x ⊖ q a)p,q ′ m −m m −m n−m ′ (p (p x) ⊖ q (q a))p,q if n ≥ m by (18) = 1 < ′ m′−n if n m qn(q−m′ x)⊖qn(q−m′ a) ( )p,q n−m′ n+m by (19) = (x ⊖ a)p,q =(x ⊖ a)p,q . 4 If m ≥ 0 and n = −n′ < 0, then m m m n m m m −n′ (x ⊖ a)p,q(p x ⊖ q a)p,q = (x ⊖ a)p,q(p x ⊖ q a)p,q m (x ⊖ a)p,q = m−n′ m−n′ n′ (p x ⊖ q a)p,q m−n′ m−n′ m−n′ n′ (x⊖a)p,q (p x⊖aq )p,q > ′ m−n′ m−n′ n′ if m n (p x⊖q a)p,q = (x⊖a)m p,q < ′ m−n′ m−n′ n′−m n′−m m−n′ n′−m m−n′ m if m n (p x⊖q a)p,q (p (p )x⊖q (q a))p,q m−n′ > ′ (x ⊖ a)p,q if m n = 1 < ′ m−n′ m−n′ n′−m if m n ( (p x⊖q a)p,q m−n′ m+n = (x ⊖ a)p,q =(x ⊖ a)p,q . Lastly, if m = −m′ < 0 and n = −n′ < 0, m m m n −m′ −m′ −m′ −n′ (x ⊖ a)p,q(p x ⊖ q a)p,q = (x ⊖ a)p,q (p x ⊖ q a)p,q 1 = −m′ −m′ m′ −n′−m′ −n′−m′ n′ (p x ⊖ q a)p,q(p x ⊖ q a)p,q 1 = −n′−m′ −n′−m′ n′ +m′ (p x ⊖ q a)p,q −m′−n′ m+n = (x ⊖ a)p,q =(x ⊖ a)p,q .

General Information The Latin script1 or Roman script is a major writing system of the world today, and the most widely used in terms of number of languages and number of speakers, with circa 70% of the world’s readers and writers making use of this script2 (Wikipedia). Historically, it is derived from the Greek alphabet, as is the Cyrillic script. The Greek alphabet is in turn derived from the Phoenician alphabet which dates to the mid-11th century BC and is itself based on older scripts. This explains why Latin, Cyrillic and Greek share some letters, which may become relevant to the ruleset in the form of cross-script variants. The Latin alphabet itself originated in Italy in the 7th Century BC. The original alphabet contained 21 upper case only letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, Z, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V and X.

  • Defining Z in Q 75
    Annals of Mathematics 183 (2016), 73{93 http://dx.doi.org/10.4007/annals.2016.183.1.2 Defining Z in Q By Jochen Koenigsmann Abstract We show that Z is definable in Q by a universal first-order formula in the language of rings. We also present an 89-formula for Z in Q with just one universal quantifier. We exhibit new diophantine subsets of Q like the complement of the image of the norm map under a quadratic extension, and we give an elementary proof for the fact that the set of nonsquares is diophantine. 1. Z is universally definable in Q Hilbert's 10th problem was to find a general algorithm for deciding, given n any n and any polynomial f 2 Z[x1; : : : ; xn], whether or not f has a zero in Z . Building on earlier work by Martin Davis, Hilary Putnam and Julia Robinson, Yuri Matiyasevich proved in 1970 that there can be no such algorithm. In particular, the existential first-order theory Th9(Z) of Z (in the language of rings Lring := f+; ·; 0; 1g) is undecidable. Hilbert's 10th problem over Q, i.e., the question whether Th9(Q) is decidable, is still open. If one had an existential (or diophantine) definition of Z in Q (i.e., a definition by an existential first-order Lring-formula), then Th9(Z) would be interpretable in Th9(Q), and the answer would, by Matiyasevich's Theorem, again be no. But it is still open whether Z is existentially definable in Q. The earliest first-order definition of Z in Q, which is due to Julia Robinson ([Rob49]), can be expressed by an 898-formula of the shape φ(t): 8x18x29y1 · · · 9y78z1 · · · 8z6 f(t; x1; x2; y1; : : : ; y7; z1; : : : ; z6) = 0 for some f 2 Z[t; x1; x2; y1; : : : ; y7; z1; : : : ; z6]; i.e., for any t 2 Q, t 2 Z if and only if φ(t) holds in Q: The research on this paper started while the author enjoyed the hospitality of the Max- Planck-Institut Bonn.

Czuczwar 2 1 Laboratory of Ischemic and Neurodegenerative Brain Research, Mossakowski Medical Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, 02-106 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] 2 Department of Pathophysiology, Medical University of Lublin, 20-090 Lublin, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-22-6086-540 Abstract: The intestinal microbiome, the largest reservoir of microorganisms in the human body, plays an important role in neurological development and aging as well as in brain disorders such as an ischemic stroke. Increasing knowledge about mediators and triggered pathways has contributed to a better understanding of the interaction between the gut-brain axis and the brain-gut axis. Intestinal bacteria produce neuroactive compounds and can modulate neuronal function, which affects behavior after an ischemic stroke. In addition, intestinal microorganisms affect host metabolism and immune status, which in turn affects the neuronal network in the ischemic brain. Here we discuss the latest results of animal and human research on two-way communication along the gut-brain axis in an ischemic stroke. Moreover, several reports have revealed the impact of an ischemic stroke on gut dysfunction and intestinal dysbiosis, highlighting the delicate play between the brain, intestines and microbiome after this acute brain injury. Despite our growing knowledge of intestinal microflora in shaping brain health, host metabolism, the immune system and disease progression, its therapeutic options in an ischemic stroke have not yet been fully utilized.

  • Continuous Stroke Printing
    Children’s Rehabilitation Services CONTINUOUS STROKE PRINTING The more times a beginning writer has to lift a pencil, the harder it becomes to make a legible letter. Every pencil lift creates another opportunity to make a mistake. Fewer strokes means fewer steps to remember in forming each letter and decreases directionality confusion. It also increases the chances the student will develop the correct “motor memory” for the letter formation. The development of motor “memories” for the patterns used in printing is what helps the student’s printing to become fast and automatic, without sacrificing legibility. Continuous stroke printing may also help eliminate letter reversals. As the student is not lifting his/her pencil, there is less opportunity for confusion around which side of the “ball” to place the “stick” on (e.g., ‘b’ vs. ‘d’). Likewise, as the student does not have to pause and think about where to place each connecting stroke, the speed and flow of printing often improves. Which Letters Are Non-Lifting? Uppercase lifting letters include: A, E, F, H, I, J, K, Q, T, X, Y Uppercase non-lifting letters include: B, C, D, G, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, U, V, W, Z Lowercase lifting letters include: f, i, j, k, t, x, y Lowercase non-lifting letters include: a, b, c, d, e, g, h, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, u, v, w, z Please see the following page for a stroke directionality chart.

PREAMBLE The guidance stated in the ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guideline ‘Stability Testing of New Drug Substances and Products’ (27 October 1993) applies in general to biotechnological/biological products. However, biotechnological/biological products do have distinguishing characteristics to which consideration should be given in any well-defined testing program designed to confirm their stability during the intended storage period. For such products, in which the active components are typically proteins and/or polypeptides, maintenance of molecular conformation and, hence of biological activity, is dependent on noncovalent as well as covalent forces. The products are particularly sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature changes, oxidation, light, ionic content, and shear. In order to ensure maintenance of biological activity and to avoid degradation, stringent conditions for their storage are usually necessary.
