In this paper, the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) is extended to solve some special cases of the problem of transient heat conduction in functionally graded materials. First, the problem is transformed to a heat equation with constant coefficients using a suitable new transformation and then the MFS together with the Tikhonov regularization method is used to solve the resulting equation.

Migraine is a very common disorder characterized by the combination of typical headache with associated autonomic symptoms and/or the presence of aura. Considerable advances have been made in recent years to understand the pathophysiology of migraine, which has led to improved treatment options for the acute migraine attack as well as migraine prophylaxis. Unfortunately, preventive treatment is...

In 1991 the Clinical Trials Subcommittee of the International Headache Society (IHS) developed and published its first edition of the Guidelines on controlled trials of drugs in episodic migraine because only quality trials can form the basis for international collaboration on drug therapy, and these Guidelines would 'improve the quality of controlled clinical trials in migraine'. With the curr...

UNLABELLED Migraine can be triggered by many factors such as stress, sleep, fasting and environmental causes. There are few studies that evaluated migraine trigger factors in the adolescent population. METHODS A total of 100 participants from 10 to 19 years were subjected to a detailed headache questionnaire, with demographic and clinical data, and a headache diary including trigger factors d...

The crime detection of sexual violence needs to be optimized and improved. This study aims substantiate, elaborate, apply in practice the method a transformed interview (based on mathematical modeling) obtain information about violence. For first time transformed-interview was used while studying hidden (latent) victims who do not want report law enforcement agencies because they fact against t...

Nonlinear evolution equations are widely used to describe complex phenomena in various sciences such as fluid physics, condensed matter, biophysics, plasma physics, nonlinear optics, quantum field theory and particle physics, etc. In recent years, various powerful methods have been presented for finding exact solutions of the nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics, such as, tanh ...
