Body surface area (BSA) has been used in clinical practice to determine dosage of medication and in standardisation of biological parameters such as creatinine clearance, cardiac out put etc. BSA is estimated from measured height and weight, either with a nomogram or using a mathematical equation. There are many mathematical equations in the published literature but many are complex and may not...

One of the most important parameters used for determining the performance of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) is their penetration rate. The parameters affecting the penetration rate can be divided in two categories. The first category is the controllable parameters such as the TBM technical characteristics, and type and geometry of the tunnel, and the second one is the uncontrollable parameters s...

Till now, different constitutive models have been applied to model the hot deformation flow curves of different materials. In this research, the hot deformation flow stress of API X65 pipeline steel was modeled using the power law equation with strain dependent constants. The results was compared with the results of the other previously examined constitutive equations including the Arrhenius eq...

The modified simple equation method is employed to find the exact traveling wave solutions involving parameters for nonlinear evolution equations namely, a diffusive predator-prey system, the Bogoyavlenskii equation, the generalized Fisher equation and the Burgers-Huxley equation. When these parameters are taken special values, the solitary wave solutions are derived from the exact traveling wa...

The absence of a universally accepted mathematical model for assessment of the effectiveness of drugs in the process of wound healing is one of the problems the health professionals have been faced. In this study, an “empirical” mathematical model is presented to evaluate its reliability from an experimental viewpoint and from a comparative aspect with previous models used to study wound healin...

A new technique is developed for phase adjustment in ISAR imaging. The adjustment phase is found by iteratively solving an equation, which is derived by minimising the entropy of the image. This technique can be used to estimate adjustment phases of any form. Moreover, the optimisation method used in this technique is computationally more efficient than trial-and-error methods.

In this paper it is shown that the global existence in time and asymptotic profile of the solution of a mathematical model of tumour invasion with proliferation proposed by Chaplain et al. For this purpose we consider a related nonlinear evolution equation with strong dissipation and proliferation corresponding to our mathematical model and the initial Neumann-boundary value problem for the evo...
