OBJECTIVE Extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) has been reported to be of potential pathogenetic relevance to Alzheimer's disease (AD) for years. However, evidence confirming this function remains inconclusive. Chronic Al treatment has been identified as a contributing factor to cognitive function impairment in AD. This study aims to examine whether or not ELF-MF and Al have synergis...

This paper’s purpose is to provide a numerical scheme to approximate solutions of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation by applying the multiquadric quasi-interpolation scheme and the integrated radial basis function network scheme. Our scheme uses θ-weighted scheme for discretization of the temporal derivative and the integrated form of the multiquadric quasi-interpolation scheme for approximati...

SYNOPSIS. Since the discovery that methyl farnesoate (MF), the unepoxidated form of the insect juvenile hormone (JHIII), is produced by mandibular organs of numerous crustaceans, extensive evidence has accumulated that this compound appears to perform similar functions in the Crustacea as JH performs in insects. A major function of MF appears to be in enhancing reproductive maturation. This was...

OBJECTIVE Many studies have shown that magnetic fields (MF) inhibit tumor growth and influence the function of immune system. However, the effect of MF on mechanism of immunological function in tumor-bearing mice is still unclear. METHODS In this study, tumor-bearing mice were prepared by subcutaneously inoculating Balb/c mice with hepatocarcinoma cell line H22. The mice were then exposed to ...

The inverse multiquadric radial basis function (RBF), which is one of the most important functions in theory RBFs, employed on an adaptive mesh points for pricing a fractional Black–Scholes partial differential equation (PDE) based modified RL derivative. To solve this problem, discretization along space carried out non-uniform grid order to focus hot area, at initial condition model, i.e., pay...

Newton iteration is a standard tool for the numerical solution of nonlinear partial diierential equations. We show how globally supported multiquadric radial basis functions can be used for this task. Some experiments with Nash iteration are also included.

In this paper, we introduce a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model which is derived from a typical Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP NN). At first, it is shown that the considered MLP NN can be interpreted as a variety of TS fuzzy model. It is discussed that the utilized Membership Function (MF) in such TS fuzzy model, despite its flexible structure, has some major restrictions. After modify...

Lymphatic filariasis is a major tropical disease caused by the parasite Brugia malayi. Microfilariae (Mf) circulate in the peripheral blood for 2-3 hours in synchronisation with maximal feeding of the mosquito vector. When absent from the peripheral blood, Mf sequester in the capillaries of the lungs. Mf are therefore in close contact with vascular endothelial cells (EC) and may induce EC immun...
