Introduction: The present study is aimed to design and develop a tissue-equivalent pelvic phantom, mimicking the Indian female pelvic dimensions by means of locally available and cost-effective tissue substitutes having equivalent radiological properties. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, the real female pelvic bones were embedded for preparation. Paraffin wax, Aloe-vera powd...

‎The notion of quasi-Einstein metric in physics is equivalent to the notion of Ricci soliton in Riemannian spaces‎. ‎Quasi-Einstein metrics serve also as solution to the Ricci flow equation‎. ‎Here‎, ‎the Riemannian metric is replaced by a Hessian matrix derived from a Finsler structure and a quasi-Einstein Finsler metric is defined‎. ‎In compact case‎, ‎it is proved that the quasi-Einstein met...

desired physical form of cities has been noticeable since the beginning of urbanization, from old patterns of early civilizations to the latest urbanism’s theories, which offered to build better cities. the opinions in recent decades have expressed that compact physical form of cities is a better form than sprawl form to achieve urban sustainability. the form of the city is the embodiment of it...

Most algorithms used in preconditioned iterative methods are generally applicable to complex valued linear systems, with real valued linear systems simply being a special case. However, most iterative solver packages available today focus exclusively on real valued systems, or deal with complex valued systems as an afterthought. One obvious approach to addressing this problem is to recast the c...

The Reserve Bank of India and a closely associated institution, NABARD, have undertaken a wide range of activities designed to support microfinance. However, many of these have been "developmental" initiatives of a financially repressive nature (such as directed credit requirements and refinancing of loans to priority sectors) and have not contributed to the emergence of a sustainable microfina...

Multi–agent learning is a challenging open task in artificial intelligence. It is known an interesting connection between multi–agent learning algorithms and evolutionary game theory, showing that the learning dynamics of some algorithms can be modeled as replicator dynamics with a mutation term. Inspired by the recent sequence–form replicator dynamics, we develop a new version of theQ–learning...

We first review some recent developments [2] of the N -wave equations and their gauge equivalent ones related to the so(5) algebra. These include the form of the equations and the relevant recursion operators, the properties of the scattering data etc. Next we generalize these results to the multicomponent nonlinear Schrödinger equations and their gauge equivalent ones known as the Heisenberg f...
