We will consider variational iteration method VIM and Padé approximant, for finding analytical solutions of the Glauert-jet self-similar wall jet over an impermeable, resting plane surface problem. The solutions are compared with the exact solution. The results illustrate that VIM is an attractive method in solving the systems of nonlinear equations. It is predicted that VIM can have a found wi...

Methylcytosine-binding proteins decipher the epigenetic information encoded by DNA methylation and provide a link between DNA methylation, modification of chromatin structure, and gene silencing. VARIANT IN METHYLATION 1 (VIM1) encodes an SRA (SET- and RING-associated) domain methylcytosine-binding protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, and loss of VIM1 function causes centromere DNA hypomethylation ...

PURPOSE To determine if the patterns uncovered with variational Bayesian-independent component analysis-mixture model (VIM) applied to a large set of normal and glaucomatous fields obtained with the Swedish Interactive Thresholding Algorithm (SITA) are distinct, recognizable, and useful for modeling the severity of the field loss. METHODS SITA fields were obtained with the Humphrey Visual Fie...

In this paper, the variational iteration method (VIM) is reintroduced with Laplace transforms and the Padé technique treatment to obtain closed form solutions of nonlinear equations. Some examples, including the coupled Burger’s equation, compacton k(n, n) equation, Zakharov–Kuznetsov Zk(n, n) equation, and KdV and mKdV equations are given to show the effectiveness of the coupled VIM–Laplace–Pa...

This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) and extended-spectrum β -lactamases (ESBL) in P. aeruginosa isolates collected from two different hospitals in Cairo, Egypt. Antibiotic susceptibility testing and phenotypic screening for ESBLs and MBLs were performed on 122 P. aeruginosa isolates collected in the period from January 2011 to March 2012. MICs wer...

conclusions our findings showed a high occurrence of metallo-β-lactamase production among p. aeruginosa isolates in burn patient infections in our region. also, there are p. aeruginosa isolates carrying the bla-vim-1 and bla-vim-2 genes in isfahan province. background metallo-β-lactamase-production among gram-negative bacteria, including pseudomonas aeruginosa, has become a challenge for treatm...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an excellent treatment for tremor and is generally thought to be reversible by turning off stimulation. For tremor, DBS is implanted in the ventrointermedius (Vim) nucleus of the thalamus, a region that relays proprioceptive information for movement sensation (kinaesthesia). Gait disturbances have been observed with bilateral Vim DBS, but the long-term effects on...

This paper compares the variational iteration method (VIM) with the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) for solving nonlinear integrodifferential equations. From the computational viewpoint, the VIM is more efficient, convenient and easy to use.

The intermediate filament vimentin might play a key role in vascular resistance to mechanical stress. We investigated the responses to pressure (tensile stress) and flow (shear stress) of mesenteric resistance arteries perfused in vitro from vimentin knockout mice. Arteries were isolated from homozygous (Vim-/-, n = 14) or heterozygous vimentin-null mice (Vim+/-, n = 5) and from wild-type litte...

A screening study of the presence of metallo-beta-lactamases (IMP and VIM types and SPM-1) in isolates from different nonhospital sources was conducted, and it revealed the presence of bla(VIM-2), associated with the In58 class 1 integron, in two unrelated Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from aquatic habitats. The results suggest that the hospital setting was the possible origin of these bla(VIM...
