چکیده

In an investigation of the melting and freezing behavior of succinonitrile, the triple-point temperature was determined to be 58.0805 degrees C, with an estimated uncertainty of +/- 0.0015 degrees C relative to the International Practical Temperature Scale of 1968 (IPTS-68). The triple-point temperature of this material is evaluated as a temperature-fixed point, and some clinical laboratory applications of this fixed point are proposed. In conjunction with the gallium and ice points, the availability of succinonitrile permits thermistor thermometers to be calibrated accurately and easily on the IPTS-68.

A Comparative Study on Temperature Accuracy between Tympanic, Rectal, and Axillary Sites

A new method recently used for measuring the temperature is using tympanic thermometer. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of this method with rectal and axillary measurement in children less than 6 years old. A total of 220 pair ears, axillaries, and rectal sites were used to determine the body temperature in patients aged between 3 months to 6 years who referred to Emergency De...

Solving time-fractional chemical engineering equations by modified variational iteration method as fixed point iteration method

The variational iteration method(VIM) was extended to find approximate solutions of fractional chemical engineering equations. The Lagrange multipliers of the VIM were not identified explicitly. In this paper we improve the VIM by using concept of fixed point iteration method. Then this method was implemented for solving system of the time fractional chemical engineering equations. The ob...

Triple positive solutions of $m$-point boundary value problem on time scales with $p$-Laplacian

‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider the multipoint boundary value problem for one-dimensional $p$-Laplacian‎ ‎dynamic equation on time scales‎. ‎We prove the existence at least three positive solutions of the boundary‎ ‎value problem by using the Avery and Peterson fixed point theorem‎. ‎The interesting point is that the non-linear term $f$ involves a first-order derivative explicitly‎. ‎Our results ...

Some local fixed point results under $C$-class functions with applications to coupled elliptic systems

The main objective of the paper is to state newly fixed point theorems for set-valued mappings in the framework of 0-complete partial metric spaces which speak about a location of a fixed point with respect to an initial value of the set-valued mapping by using some $C$-class functions. The results proved herein generalize, modify and unify some recent results of the existing literature. As an ...
