the epidemic of obesity and morbid obesity [1] spreads and as more obese patients require intensive care, it is important to use appropriately body surface area (BSA) indexed hemodynamic measurements [2]. Th e idea of adjusting for variation in heights and weights while making comparisons was fi rst described by DuBois and Dubois in 1916. Unfortunately, they derived their widely used formula ba...

In this paper we prove the existence and the uniqueness of the solutions of the Hammerstein-Volterra integral equation in the space of the absolutely continuous functions endowed with the bounded variation norm. After that, we find the resolvent of the corresponding linear integral equation in order to obtain a variation of parameters formula for the solutions of this linear equation. Finally, ...

In this article, nonuniformity effects on free vibration analysis of functionally graded beams is discussed. variation in material properties is modeled after Powerlaw and exponential models and the non-uniformity is assumed to be exponentially varying in the width along the beams with constant thickness. Analytical solution is achieved for free vibration with simply supported conditions. It is...
