Quartic non-polynomial spline function approximation in off step points is developed, for the solution of fourth-order boundary value problems. Using consistency relation of such spline and suitable choice of parameter,we have obtained second, fourth and sixth orders methods. Convergence analysis of sixth order method has been given. The methods are illustrated by some examples, to verify the or...

background and objective: lowering serum glucose and lipid levels in diabetic patients by using natural materials is of great importance. in this study, the effect of oral consumption of fumaria parviflora lamwas was assessed on serum glucose and lipid levels in streptozocin diabetic rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 32 male wistar rats were divided into four groups of co...

This paper follows on from the author’s Five Lectures on Algorithmic Randomness. It is concerned with material not found in that long paper, concentrating on Martin-Löf lowness and triviality. We present a hopefully user-friendly account of the decanter method, and discuss recent results of the author with Peter Cholak and Noam Greenberg concerning the class of strongly jump traceable reals int...

This presentation reviews the literature regarding the current surgical treatment of perforated ulcers, describes the surgical techniques for laparoscopic repair, and reviews the clinical algorithm used by laparoscopic surgeons at Duke University Medical Center.

The notion of isolating the \common case" is a well known computer science principle. This paper describes ZPL, a language that treats data parallelism as a common case of MIMD parallelism. This separation of concerns has many bene ts. It allows us to de ne a clean and concise language for describing data parallel computations, and this in turn leads to e cient parallel execution. Our particula...

Background: Attention to children's nutrition is important; since they are the most sensitive and vulnerable group in the community against malnutrition and food shortages. Therefore, this study aims to design, implement, and evaluate the effect of educational programs based on (philosophy for children) on thinking skills about healthy breakfast consumption of sixth-grade elementary school stud...
