Abstract Pennes' bio-heat equation is the most widely used to analyze heat transfer phenomenon associated with hyperthermia and cryoablation treatments of cancer. In this study, semi-analytical numerical solutions in a highly nonlinear form derived from renal cell carcinoma tissue's specific capacity along freezing convection term were obtained analyzed for first time. Here, governing was reduc...

When calculating the incompressible flows in complicated domains, we have to carefully discretize the equations of fluid motion in the domain in order to obtain the accurate numerical solutions of flow, the velocity and pressure. Inspired by the axial lines in the domain, we have developed the Axial Green’s function Method(AGM) [2] to effectively implement the divergencefree condition for incom...

We report a degenerate quasicrystal in Monte Carlo simulations of hard triangular bipyramids each composed of two regular tetrahedra sharing a single face. The dodecagonal quasicrystal is similar to that recently reported for hard tetrahedra [Haji-Akbari et al., Nature (London) 462, 773 (2009)] but degenerate in the pairing of tetrahedra, and self-assembles at packing fractions above 54%. This ...

Agomelatine (AGM) is a new antidepressant drug with a novel mechanism of action and fewer side effects compared with older antidepressants. AGM is a melatonin receptor (MT1 and MT2) agonist and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor (5-HT2C) antagonist. In the present study, the enhancement of the oral bioavailability of AGM was formulated and loaded into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), using ultra...

'Changing the Theory of Theory Change: Towards a Computational Approach' (Tennant [1994]; henceforth CTTQ claimed that the AGM postulate of recovery is false, and that AGM contractions of theories can be more than minimally mutilating. It also described an alternative, computational method for contracting theories, called the Staining Algorithm. Makinson [1995] and Hansson and Rott [1995] criti...

Since the first use of a p-adic method for counting points of elliptic curves, by Satoh in 1999, several variants of his algorithm have been proposed. In the current state, the AGM algorithm, proposed by Mestre is thought to be the fastest in practice, and the algorithm by Satoh–Skjernaa–Taguchi has the best asymptotic complexity but requires precomputations. We present an amelioration of the S...

In this paper we provide a general, unifying framework for probabilistic belief revision. We first introduce a probabilistic logic called p-logic that is capable of representing and reasoning with basic probabilistic information. With p-logic as the background logic, we define a revision function called p-revision that resembles partial meet revision in the AGM framework. We provide a represent...

Fermé, Eduardo. 2011. On the Logic of Theory Change: Extending the AGM Model. PhD Thesis in Philosophy from the Royal Institute of Technology. This thesis consists in six articles and a comprehensive summary. ● The pourpose of the summary is to introduce the AGM theory of belief change and to exemplify the diversity and significance of the research that has been inspired by the AGM article in t...

Small pollutant concentration gradients between levels above a plant canopy result in large uncertainties in estimated air–surface exchange fluxes when using existing micrometeorological gradient methods, including the aerodynamic gradient method (AGM) and the modified Bowen ratio method (MBR). A modified micrometeorological gradient method (MGM) is proposed in this study for estimating O3 dry ...

A very influential work on belief change is based on the seminal paper ‘On the Logic of Theory Change: Partial Meet Contractions and Revision Functions’. In this paper Alchourron, Gärdenfors, and Makinson investigate the properties that such a method should have in order to be intuitively appealing. The result was a set of postulates (named AGM postulates after the initials of the authors) that...
