in this paper, we obtain a suitable mathematical model for the seismic response of dams. by using the shear beam model (sb model), we give a mathematical formulation that it is a partial differential equation and transform it to the sturm-liouville equation.

This paper presents a new method for predicting turning points. The paper formally defines a turning point; develops a probit model for estimating the probability of a turning point; and then examines both the in-sample and out-of-sample forecasting performance of the model. The model performs better than some other methods for predicting turning points. *While working on this paper, all three ...

In this paper the need for employing a data reduction algorithm in using digital graphic systems to display biomedical signals is firstly addressed and then, some such algorithms are compared from different points of view (such as complexity, real time feasibility, etc.). Subsequently, it is concluded that Turning Point algorithm can be a suitable one for real time implementation on a microproc...

In this paper, a parameter uniform numerical method based on Shishkin mesh is suggested to solve a system of second order singularly perturbed differential equations with a turning point exhibiting boundary layers. It is assumed that both equations have a turning point at the same point. An appropriate piecewise uniform mesh is considered and a classical finite difference scheme is applied on t...

In a model of Parkinson's disease (PD), amphetamine, a dopamine (DA)-releasing drug, fails to induce ipsilateral drug rotations in a proportion of rats with complete unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions of the medial forebrain bundle and DA neurons of the substantia nigra. To investigate this phenomenon, individual 6-OHDA lesions (measured by tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry) ...
