Body surface area (BSA) has been used in clinical practice to determine dosage of medication and in standardisation of biological parameters such as creatinine clearance, cardiac out put etc. BSA is estimated from measured height and weight, either with a nomogram or using a mathematical equation. There are many mathematical equations in the published literature but many are complex and may not...

the gravity method is one of the first geophysical techniques used in oil and gas exploration. an algorithm is developed for a fast quantitative interpretation of gravity data generated by geometrically simple but also the estimated depths and other model parameters of a buried structure. following abdelrahman et al (1989). the general gravity anomaly expression produced by a sphere, an infinit...

Nonlinear model of constant pressure expression is proposed for semi-solid materials and filter cakes. In this the compressive PS replaced by special power-law function θ=1+PSPa1-nconsidering constitutive equation specific cake resistance α=α01+PSPan, where α0, Pa n are constants. The linearized form obtained has analytical solution, which similar to solution classical Terzaghi equation, but in...

Practice appointment rates could have a significant impact on national health care costs and services offered by doctors. In this respect a study was designed to determine the relationship between practice appointments and possible predictors in high-risk asthmatics. An observational retrospective analysis of the predictors for the practice appointments in asthmatic patients with at least one h...
