Introduction: Nano-indentation has recently been employed as a powerful tool for determining the mechanical properties of biological tissues on nano and micro scales. A majority of soft biological tissues such as ligaments and tendons exhibit viscoelastic or time-dependent behaviors. The constitutive characterization of soft tissues is among very important subjects in clinical medicine and espe...

Abstract The stationary distribution of the number of customers in the infinite-server system with nonPoissonian arrivals is dependent on the form of the service time distribution. In particular, when the interarrival time is a hyperexponential random variable that is more variable than an exponential random variable, the stationary state distribution becomes stochastically less variable, as th...

In this paper, we present the time-dependent solutions of various stochastic processes associated with a nite Quasi-Birth-Death queueing system. These include the transient queueing solutions, the transient departure and loss intensity processes and certain transient cummulative measures associated with the queueing system. The focus of our study is the eeect of the arrival process correlation ...

In this paper, the design of switching rule for exponential stability of a class of uncertain switched systems with delays is studied. The systems to be considered are linear and the state delays are time-varying. Based on Lyapunov functional and average dwell time approach, condition on the derivative of time-delay functions are not need to design switching rule for the exponential stability o...

Introduction: Different ATP-sensitive potassium channels have been detected in the mitochondrial inner membrane of cells. They are suggested to be involved in cell processes including cell protection. Here, we characterized the biophysical and electropharmacological properties of a KATP channel in the brain mitochondrial inner membranes. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain...

The exponential time integration, i.e., time integration which involves the matrix exponential, is an attractive tool for solving Maxwell’s equations in time. However, its application in practice often requires a substantial knowledge of numerical linear algebra algorithms, in particular, of the Krylov subspace methods. This note provides a brief guide on how to apply exponential Krylov subspac...

Introduction Compartmental analysis allows the mathematical separation of tissues and organs to determine activity concentration in each point of interest. Biodistribution studies on humans are costly and complicated, whereas such assessments can be easily performed on rodents. In this study, we aimed to develop a pharmacokinetic model of 153Sm-maltolate complex as a novel therapeutic agent and...

This paper proposes a matrix variate generalization of the power exponential distribution family, which can be useful in generalizing statistical procedures in multivariate analysis and in designing robust alternatives to them. An example is added to show an application of the generalization.

Resonances which result from perturbation of embedded eigenvalues are studied by time dependent methods. A general theory is developed, with new and weaker conditions, allowing for perturbations of threshold eigenvalues and relaxed Fermi Golden rule. The exponential decay rate of resonances is addressed; its uniqueness in the time dependent picture is shown is certain cases. The relation to the...
