In this paper, by equivalently reformulating the absolute value equation (AVE) into an alternative two-by-two block nonlinear equation, we put forward SOR-like (ASOR-like) iteration method to solve AVE. The convergence of ASOR-like is established, subjecting specific restrictions placed on associated parameter. selection optimal parameter investigated theoretically. Numerical experiments are gi...

objective: vertical root fracture (vrf) is among the most common causes of endodontic treatment failures. this study aims to compare charge-coupled devices (ccd) and photostimulable phosphor plates (psp) for detection of vertical root fractures in endodontically treated teeth.   methods: in this diagnostic in vitro study, 40 maxillary anterior teeth were selected and after preparation and root ...

The fundamental equation in evolutionary quantitative genetics, the Lande equation, describes the response to directional selection as a product of the additive genetic variance and the selection gradient of trait value on relative fitness. Comparisons of both genetic variances and selection gradients across traits or populations require standardization, as both are scale dependent. The Lande e...

This paper addresses the problem of calculating the bioimpedance phase angle from measurements of impedance modulus. A complete impedance measurement was performed on altogether 20 healthy persons using a Solatron 1260/1294 system. The obtained impedance modulus (absolute impedance value) values were used to calculate the Cole parameters and from them the phase angles. In addition, the phase an...
