in this paper, non-polynomial spline method for solving coupled burgers’ equations are presented. we take a new spline function. the stability analysis using von-neumann technique shows the scheme is unconditionally stable. to test accuracy the error norms2l, ∞l are computed and give two examples to illustrate the sufficiency of the method for solving such nonlinear partial differential equatio...

the most frequently studied association between a hepatitis virus and non hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) has been with hepatitis c virus (hcv). association with hepatitis b virus (hbv) is less studied. in this regard mixed cryoglobulinemia (mc) is more commonly associated with hcv than hbv. still rarer is cryofibrinogenemia in these patients.   lack of symptoms in addition its rarity delays the diagnos...
