BACKGROUND Magnetic stimulation has gained relatively wide application in studying nervous system structures. This technology has the advantage of reduced excitation of sensory nerve endings, and hence results in quasi-painless action. It has become clinically accepted modality for brain stimulation. However, theoretical and practical solutions for assessment of induced current distribution nee...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Direct access to individuals in non-intrusive ways, as well as the technical abilities of new-media to provide tailored information in relatively inexpensive ways, creates a unique opportunity for the delivery of health-related information. The aim of the present research was to examine the effect that new-media-based sexual-health interventions have on sexual-health b...

In the present study, an attempt has been made to synthesize 3-methyl-4-arylmethylene isoxazole-5(4H)-one derivatives through sonication of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, ethyl acetoacetate and benzaldehyde derivatives in the presence of imidazole as a novel and effective catalyst in aqueous media. This green reaction under ultrasound irradiation has advantageous compared to conventional...

We propose a model for statistically inhomogeneous two-phase random media , including functionally graded materials, consisting of inhomogeneous fully penetrable (Poisson distributed) spheres. This model can be constructed for any speciied variation of volume fraction and permits one to represent and evaluate certain n-point correlation functions that statistically characterize the microstructu...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the Stoneley waves in a non-homogeneous orthotropic granular medium under the influence of a gravity field. The frequency equation obtained, in the form of a sixth-order determinantal expression, is in agreement with the corresponding result when both media are elastic. The frequency equation when the gravity field is neglected has been deduced as a parti...

In this paper, we have studied the diffusive predator-prey model with Monod-Haldane functional response. The stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated by analyzing the distribution of eigenvalues without diffusion. We also study the spatially homogeneous and non-homogeneous periodic solutions through all parameters of the system which are spati...

In this paper, we extend to our knowledge, for the first case, some reliability results obtained using homogeneous semi-Markov processes to the case of non-homogenous semi-Markov modelisation. Moreover, we apply some of our preceding results to give the numerical solutions and so the possibility to treat real life problems for which non-homogeneity in time is important.

We investigate the structure of the non homogeneous Markov states on general Fermi algebras. This covers d–Markov states on the CAR algebra on Z, the case when there are more than one creators and annichilators in each site, and finally Fermi Markov fields on Z . Natural connections with the KMS boundary condition, diagonalizability, and entropy of Fermi Markov states are studied in detail. Apa...

the value of the permeability in fluid flow through porous media is important for process investigation. in low reynolds number, the classic darcy’s law is suitable for simulation of fluid flow. in this paper, an experimental study for evaluation of preformed fiber permeability has been done. also, the deviations from the classical darcy law by experimental and numerical simulation of the navie...
