in this article the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations are investigated by means of the modied three-dimensional block-pulse functions (m3d-bfs). this method converts the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. the illustrative   examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of our   scheme.

heat stress effects on physical and mental health of workers and decreases human function. asphalt workers are both exposed to the heat of their working process and to the sun heat. this study aimed at evaluating thermal stress and its following function fall and the effect of asphalt work on the degree of heat stress and asphalt workers’ physiological parameters. the present study was done at ...

this research set out to evaluate the effect of combined biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers on some corn hybrids. to this end an experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications. main plots were included: use of chemical and biological fertilizers in four levels: 100% chemical fertilizer, 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% bio-...

the efficiency measurement is a subject of great interest. the majority of studies on dea models have been carried out using radial or non-radial approaches regarding the application of dea for the efficiency measurement. this paper, based on the directional distance function, proposes a new generalized hybrid measure of efficiency under generalized returns to scale with the existence of both r...

In this article the nonlinear mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations are investigated by means of the modied three-dimensional block-pulse functions (M3D-BFs). This method converts the nonlinear mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. The illustrative   examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of our   scheme.    

background : in medical studies, when the joint prediction about occurrence of two events should be anticipated, a statistical bivariate model is used. due to the limitations of usual statistical models, other methods such as artificial neural network (ann) and hybrid models could be used. in this paper, we propose a hybrid artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ann-ga) model to predictio...

In this paper we apply hybrid functions of general block-pulse‎ ‎functions and Legendre polynomials for solving linear and‎ ‎nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs)‎. ‎Our approach is based on incorporating operational matrices of‎ ‎FDEs with hybrid functions that reduces the FDEs problems to‎ ‎the solution of algebraic systems‎. ‎Error estimate that verifies a‎ ‎converge...
