In this paper, we are concerned with the further study for system of nonlinear equations. Since systems with inaccurate function values or problems with high computational cost arise frequently in science and engineering, recently such systems have attracted researcher’s interest. In this work we present a new method which is independent of function evolutions and has a quadratic convergence. T...

Pharmacopoeia can be issued, there is ample scope for the present work. The remedies are arranged in alphabetical order. The information given includes a brief description of each drug, its source, formula, solubility, action, uses, dosage and the name of the firm who manufacture it. The book rarely speaks with the voice of authority when noting the therapeutie use of the remedies, but simply s...

The scale dependence of the strength of virtually homogeneous rock is usually considered to be insignificant but the spectrum of discontinuities plays a very important role for the strength of differently sized rock elements and also controls the rock creep strain. Large-scale load tests comprised recording of the creep strain rate that was found to be strongly retarded and negligible for stres...

and Bricon. Translated from the Second Edition, with Additions by Andrew S. Currie, M.D. London: H. K. Lewis. 1887. Dr. Currie has done good service in giving us a translation of this book, as it is most desirable that English readers should be made familiar with foreign works, that have been well received in their own country. There is first a most meagre history of the hypodermic method and a...

The search engine vocabulary is normally stored in alphabetical order so that it can be searched with a binary search. If the vocabulary is large, it can be represented as a 2-level B-tree and only the root of the tree is held in memory. The leaves are retrieved from disk only when required at runtime. In this paper, we investigate and address issues associated with the 2-level B-tree structure...

1 The authors appear in alphabetical order and contributed equally.Abstract 2 There are many things to be learned about software engineering by working directly with software practitioners in companies. In this paper, we present an overview of some of the techniques for performing such field studies, focusing on such issues as: What kind of problems can be addressed by field studies? What techn...
