OBJECTIVE A comparison of the efficacy of a novel treatment method for anorexia nervosa (AN), the Mandometer treatment (MT), with treatment as usual (TAU). METHOD During treatment data were collected to determine weight recovery and outcome as assessed by the Morgan Russell Outcome Assessment Schedule (MROAS). RESULTS After treatment 63% of the MT group and 85% of the TAU group had reached ...

Objective(s):Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. One of the hallmarks of AD is an abnormal accumulation of fibril forms of tau protein which is known as a microtubule associated protein. In this regard, inhibition of tau aggregation has been documented to be a potent therapeutic approach in AD and tauopathies. Unfortunately, the available syntheti...

We consider an out-of-equilibrium one-dimensional model for two electrical double-layers. With a combination of exact calculations and Brownian Dynamics simulations, we compute the relaxation time ($\tau$) electroneutral salt-free suspension, made up fixed colloids, with $N$ neutralizing mobile counterions. For odd, double-layers never decouple, irrespective their separation $L$; this is regime...

The tau-leaping method of simulating the stochastic time evolution of a well-stirred chemically reacting system uses a Poisson approximation to take time steps that leap over many reaction events. Theory implies that tau leaping should be accurate so long as no propensity function changes its value "significantly" during any time step tau. Presented here is an improved procedure for estimating ...

The aim of this paper is to present a new numerical method for solving the Bagley-Torvik equation. This equation has an important role in fractional calculus. The fractional derivatives are described based on the Caputo sense. Some properties of the sinc functions required for our subsequent development are given and are utilized to reduce the computation of solution of the Bagley-Torvik equati...

UNLABELLED Developing a quantitative understanding of intracellular networks requires simulations and computational analyses. However, traditional differential equation modeling tools are often inadequate due to the stochasticity of intracellular reaction networks that can potentially influence the phenotypic characteristics. Unfortunately, stochastic simulations are computationally too intense...

In this article the instability of single phase flow in a circular pipe from laminar to turbulence regime has been investigated. To this end, after finding boundary conditions and equation related to instability of flow in cylindrical coordination system, which is called eigenvalue Orr Sommerfeld equation, the solution method for these equation has been investigated. In this article Chebyshev p...

In this paper the periodic solutions of fourth order delay differential equation of the form $ddddot{x}(t)+adddot{x}(t)+f(ddot{x}(t-tau(t)))+g(dot{x}(t-tau(t)))+h({x}(t-tau(t)))=p(t)$  is investigated. Some new positive periodic criteria are given.
