This paper extends the dual-Petrov-Galerkin method proposed by Shen [21], further developed by Yuan, Shen and Wu [27] to general fifth-order KdV type equations with various nonlinear terms. These fifth-order equations arise in modeling different wave phenomena. The method is implemented to compute the multi-soliton solutions of two representative fifth-order KdV equations: the Kaup-Kupershmidt ...

The earliest existing text on TCMs, the book Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (“Ben” means root and “Cao” means shoot), was written sometime during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC – 220 AD). This book was based on the work of medical experts who gathered a plethora of information before the Qin Dynasty. The book covered 365 types of medicine, some of which are still used in contemporary medicine. The S...

Recently, J.-J. Shen, C.-W. Lin and M.-S. Hwang (Computers & Security, Vol 22, No 7, pp 591-595, 2003) proposed a modified Yang-Shieh scheme to enhance security. They claimed that their modified scheme can withstand the forged login attack and also provide a mutual authentication method to prevent the forged server attack. In this paper, we show that the Shen-Lin-Hwang scheme cannot resist the ...

Dear Editors, Thank you for bringing to our attention the letter from Johann de Bono, Liji Shen and Oliver Sartor concerning our article entitled “Efficacy and safety of second-line agents for treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer progressing after docetaxel. A systematic review and meta-analysis” published in the Archivio Italiano di Urologia e Andrologia. We wish to tha...

In 2003, Shen et al [4] proposed a timestamp-based password authentication scheme in which remote server does not need to store the passwords or verification table for users authentication. Unfortunately Wang and Li[6], E.J.Yoon [8], Lieu et al.[3], analyzed independently the Shen Lin Scheme [4] and was found to be vulnerable to some deadly attacks. In continuation to it, this paper analyzes fe...

This paper extends the dual-Petrov-Galerkin method proposed by Shen [16] and further developed by Yuan, Shen and Wu [23] to several integrable and non-integrable fifth-order KdV type equations. These fifth-order equations arise in modeling different wave phenomena and involve various nonlinear terms. The method is implemented to compute the solitary wave solutions of these equations and the num...

Blood pressure is mainly modulated by the autonomic nervous system. Previous reports suggest acupuncture can affect the autonomic nervous system 1,6) . Especially, the Shen-Men (He-7) and Nei-Kuan (EH-6) acupoints are known to increase parasympathetic nervous activity 7,9) . This means that acupuncture on those acupoints can lead to reduction of blood pressure. In this study, on the assumption ...
