Although premature separation of normally implanted placenta is considered the most serious complication of pregnancy, knowledge of uterine behaviour during this con­dition is meager, on the basis of electronic recording of intra-uterine pressure two type of contraction pattern has been identified.  In type I uterine tonus has values below 30mmHg  with a frequency of 4-9 contractions per 10 m...

Identifying influential speakers in multi-party conversations has been the focus of research in communication, sociology, and psychology for decades. It has been long acknowledged qualitatively that controlling the topic of a conversation is a sign of influence. To capture who introduces new topics in conversations, we introduce SITS—Speaker Identity for Topic Segmentation—a nonparametric hiera...

Abstract We use methods from nonstandard analysis to unify and extend results the theory of asymptotic fixed points on metric spaces. Among topics we consider are Kirk’s point theorem with extensions, Boyd Wong’s theorem, Suzuki’s for contractions Meier–Keeler type. also show how final type can be modified yield uniform convergence compact bounded sets.

based on the accumulated data, ftir spectroscopy seems to be a highly sensitive tool in cervical cancer diagnosis. we, therefore, employed this technique in a screening type of research here in tehran. the purpose of this study was to look for the spectral pattern differences between normal and malignant cervix samples in iranian women. through formal and informal announcements, all gynecology ...

The feed rate of substrate during fed-batch fermentation affects many physiological variables such as specific growth rate, cell mass accumulation, substrate feed per cell, substrate feed to maintenance, carbon starvation stress, by-product formation and population segregation. These variables are known, or can be theoretically assumed, to influence protein production. Feeding strategies such a...

In this paper, we discuss and extend some recent common fixed point results established by using $varphi-$weakly contractive mappings. A very important step in the development of the fixed point theory was given by A.H. Ansari by the introduction of a $C-$class function. Using $C-$class functions, we generalize some known fixed point results. This type of functions is a very important class of ...
