we present a sixth-order non-polynomial spline method for the solutions of two-point nonlinear boundary value problem u(4)+f(x,u)=0, u(a)=α1, u''(a)= α2, u(b)= β1,u''(b)= β2, in off step points. numerical method of sixth-order with end conditions of the order 6 is derived. the convergence analysis of the method has been discussed. numerical examples are presented to illustra...

receiver operating characteristics (roc) curves have numerous applications for identifying a cut-off point in diagnostic tests. nonetheless, given that sometimes two cut-off points have to be specified simultaneously, the roc curve can be used to identify such points. the volume under the roc surface (vus) serves as a criterion for the accuracy of diagnostic tests. one of the unfortunate outcom...

Objective: The present this study aimed to determine the proper cut-off points for waist circumference (WC), Waist to height ratio (WHtR) and body mass index (BMI) for early predicting of metabolic syndrome among inactive college students. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 126 males (age 20.33±1.71) and 63 females (age 20.36±1.72) with inactive lifestyle parti...

Abstract I show that the Lottery Paradox is just a version of Sorites, and argue this should modify our way looking at itself. In particular, focus on what call “the Cut-off Point Problem” contend problem, well known by Sorites scholars, ought to play key role in debate Kyburg’s puzzle. Very briefly, that, Paradox, premises “ticket n°1 will lose”, n°2 lose”… n°1000 lose” are equivalent soritica...
