In the paper, we obtain the existence of symmetric or monotone positive solutions and establish a corresponding iterative scheme for the equation $(\phi _p(u^{\prime }))^{\prime }+q(t)f(u)=0$, $0<t<1$, where $\phi _p(s):=|s|^{p-2}s$, $p>1$, subject to nonlinear boundary condition. The main tool is the monotone iterative technique. Here, the coefficient $q(t)$ may be singular at $t=0,1$.
In this study, we presented the most commonly employed net photosynthetic light-response curves (PN/I curves) fitted by the Solver function of Microsoft Excel. Excel is attractive not only due to its wide availability as a part of the Microsoft Office suite but also due to the increased level of familiarity of undergraduate students with this tool as opposed to other statistical packages. In this study, we explored the use of Excel as a didactic tool which was built upon a previously published paper presenting an Excel Solver tool for calculation of a net photosynthetic/chloroplastic CO2-response curve. Using the Excel spreadsheets accompanying this paper, researchers and students can quickly and easily choose the best fitted PN/I curve, selecting it by the minimal value of the sum of the squares of the errors. We also criticized the misuse of the asymptotic estimate of the maximum gross photosynthetic rate, the light saturation point estimated at a specific percentile of maximum net photosynthetic rate, and the quantum yield at zero photosynthetic photon flux density and we proposed the replacement of these variables by others more directly linked to plant ecophysiology. and F. de A.

In this paper we give some criteria for the existence of compactly supported $C^{k+\alpha }$-solutions ($k$ is an integer and $0\le \alpha <1$) of matrix refinement equations. Several examples are presented to illustrate the general theory.
Some strong convergence theorems of common fixed points of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in the intermediate sense are obtained. The results presented in this paper improve and extend the corresponding results in Huang, Khan and Takahashi, Chang, Schu, and Rhoades.
In this paper, an extended analysis of the human electroencephalographic signals (EEG) in the region of alpha rhythms is presented. The consequences of the existence of spindle-like (fusiform) shape are discussed and verified on the set of experimental measurements. The hypothesis of possible interrelations of the EEG alpha fuses with a tested person's psychical state and restrictions is presented.
