The rational cubic function with three parameters has been extended to rational bi-cubic function to visualize the shape of regular convex surface data. The rational bi-cubic function involves six parameters in each rectangular patch. Data dependent constraints are derived on four of these parameters to visualize the shape of convex surface data while other two are free to refine the shape of s...

Ketosis is an important metabolic disease of high milk-producing cows. There are significant changes in many metabolite and hormonal concentrations in metabolic diseases. This study was carried out to assess the concentrations calcium (Ca), selenium (Se), total antioxidant (TAOC), insulin, free triiodothyronine (fT3) and free thyroxine (fT4) in cows with subclinical and clinical ketosis. This s...

The current research develops derivative-free family with memory methods with 100% improvement in the order of convergence. They have three parameters. The parameters are approximated and increase the convergence order from 4 to 6, 7, 7.5 and 8, respectively. Additionally, the new self-accelerating parameters are constructed by a new way. They have the properties of simple structures and they a...

objective(s) plasma leptin exists in protein-bound and free forms, which may affect its hormonal bioactivity. the free and bound forms are changed by the body weight. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of metformin on bound and free plasma leptin concentration. materials and methods subjects recruited from yazd diabetes research centre, yazd university of medical sciences. the...

The use of polarimetric techniques is nowadays widespread among solar and stellar astronomers. However, notwithstanding the recommandations that have often been made about the publication of polarimetric results in the astronomical literature, we are still far from having a standard protocol on which to conform. In this paper we review the basic definitions and the physical significance of the ...
