background: central obesity and hyperinsulinaemia of polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) are associated with chronic sympathetic over activity. objective: to evaluate the autonomic functions and to indicate the superiority, if any, for those functions in the diagnosis of sympathetic over activity in pcos women. materials and methods: sixty-four pcos patients and 40 women served as the control grou...

abstract. in this paper, we implement numerical solution of differential equations of frac- tional order based on hybrid functions consisting of block-pulse function and rationalized haar functions. for this purpose, the properties of hybrid of rationalized haar functions are presented. in addition, the operational matrix of the fractional integration is obtained and is utilized to convert compu...

in this paper, a numerical efficient method based on two-dimensional block-pulse functions (bpfs) is proposed to approximate a solution of the two-dimensional linear stochastic volterra-fredholm integral equation. finally the accuracy of this method will be shown by an example.

In this research, radial pulse differences according to gender and measuring positions in healthy individuals were investigated in an objective manner. A total of 372 healthy volunteers (189 males and 183 females) participated in this study. The radial pulse was measured at six different measuring positions using a multistep tonometry system. The pulse data were compared between males and femal...

The multidimensional exponential Levy equations are used to describe many stochastic phenomena such as market fluctuations. Unfortunately in practice an exact solution does not exist for these equations. This motivates us to propose a numerical solution for n-dimensional exponential Levy equations by block pulse functions. We compute the jump integral of each block pulse function and present a ...

Background: Pulse pressure has recently been considered as a predictor of coronary heart disease. The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called pulse pressure. Various factors including increased age, vascular stiffness, stenosis, and hypertension are associated with pulse pressure. The present study, therefore, aimed to investigate the relationship between some cardiov...

The present work approaches the problem of achieving the approximate solution of the second order initial value problems (IVPs) via its conversion into a Volterra integral equation of the second kind (VIE2). Therefore, we initially solve the IVPs using Runge–Kutta of the forth–order method (RK), and then convert it into VIE2, and apply the εmodified block–pulse functions (εMBPFs) and their oper...
