The underlying mechanism of bradycardia-dependent bundle-branch and paroxysmal atrioventricular block appears to be enhancement of phase-4 depolarization in a branch or in a natural or acquired monofascicular pathway. Clinical records of these forms of impaired conduction occurring in the bundle-branches, with either longer or shorter cardiac cycle lengths, are presented and analysed. These als...

In this paper, we propose a new method for the numerical solution of two-dimensional linear and nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the first and second kinds, which avoids from using starting values. An existence and uniqueness theorem is proved and convergence isverified by using an appropriate variety of the Gronwall inequality. Application of the method is demonstrated for solving the ...

In this paper, we present an integrated model to find the optimum size of blast block that uses (i) a multi-criteria decision-making method to specify the applicable size of the mineable block; (ii) a linear programming method for the selection of the blasted areas to be excavated and in deciding the quantity of ores and wastes to be mined from each one of the selected blocks. These two methods...

In this paper, we present a block version of incomplete LU preconditioner which is computed as the by-product of block A-biconjugation process. The pivot entries of this block preconditioner are one by one or two by two blocks. The L and U factors of this block preconditioner are computed separately. The block pivot selection of this preconditioner is inherited from one of the block versions of...
