Application of Barycenter Refined Meshes in Linear Elasticity and Incompressible Fluid Dynamics

The paper demonstrates that enhanced stability properties of some finite element methods on barycenter refined meshes enables efficient numerical treatment of problems involving incompressible or nearly incompressible media. One example is the linear elasticity problem in a pure displacement formulation, where a lower order finite element method is studied which is optimal order accurate and ro...

The Effects of Price Elasticity Dynamics on a Firm’s Profit

This paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. Although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. In this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. The suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...

Acute effect of hemodialysis on arterial elasticity.

BACKGROUND/AIM Reduced arterial elasticity is an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Hemodialysis (HD) treatment per se can bring additional risk factors for vascular disease. Our study was designed to determine whether a single hemodialysis session leads to an acute alteration in parameters of arterial elasticity in ESRD. MATERIA...

Delivery may affect arterial elasticity in women.

BACKGROUND Estrogen is considered to be cardioprotective, but estrogen replacement therapy for postmenopausal women has not shown results for either primary or secondary cardiovascular event prevention. During normal pregnancy, women have significantly higher levels of estrogen and it may be endogenous estrogen that helps prevent atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS The present cross-sectiona...
