In this paper, we present a new third-order family of iterative methods in order to compute the multiple roots nonlinear equations when multiplicity (m?1) is known advance. There plethora point-to-point methods, available literature; but our are based on geometric derivation and converge required zero even though derivative becomes or close vicinity zero. We use exponential fitted curve tangenc...

We present a unified local convergence analysis for Chebyshev-Halleytype methods in order to approximate a solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space setting. Our methods include the Chebyshev; Halley; super-Halley and other high order methods. The convergence ball and error estimates are given for these methods under the same conditions. Numerical examples are also provided in this stu...

The present study describes the changes in expression of hydroxy- carboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2 receptor) in femoral epiphysis and metaphysis of rats with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO). 16 growing male Sprauge dawley rats were randomly divided into two equal groups consisting of normal control and rats that were rendered osteoporotic by receiving 0.1 mg/kg/day dexamethasone subcu...

Previous research has shown that the study of global electrical circuit can be relevant to climate change studies, and this done through measurements potential gradient near surface in fair weather conditions. However, highly variable due different local effects (e.g., pollution, convective processes). In order try minimize these effects, performed at remote locations where anthropogenic influe...

Evolutionary computation is inspired by nature in order to formulate metaheuristics capable to optimize several kinds of problems. A family of algorithms has emerged based on this idea; e.g. genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies, particle swarm optimization (PSO), ant colony optimization (ACO), etc. In this paper we show a populationbased metaheuristic inspired on the gravitational forces...

The conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex plays essential roles in Golgi function, vesicle trafficking and glycosylation. Deletions in the human COG7 gene are associated with a rare multisystemic congenital disorder of glycosylation that causes mortality within the first year of life. In this paper, we characterise the Drosophila orthologue of COG7 (Cog7). Loss-of-function Cog7 mutants are v...

This paper explores the origins of the Diet, Nutrition and Cancer Programme (DNCP) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and its fate under its first director, Gio Batta Gori. The DNCP is used to explore the emergence of federal support for research on diet, nutrition and cancer following the 1971 Cancer Act, the complex relations between cancer prevention and therapeutics in the NCI during th...
