In re ent years there has been an in reasing trend toward the in orporation of omputers into a variety of devi es where the amount of memory available is limited. This makes it desirable to try to redu e the size of appli ations where possible. This arti le explores the use of ompiler te hniques to a omplish ode ompa tion to yield smaller exe utables. The main ontribution of this arti le is to ...

OBJECTIVE To assess optical coherence tomography in differentiating optic disc edema (ODE) due to papilledema and other optic neuropathies from optic nerve head drusen (ONHD). METHODS Optical coherence tomographic images from 60 subjects (20 with ODE, 20 with ONHD, and 20 control subjects) were assessed qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitative criteria for ODE included an elevated optic ...

The present study is an attempt to find a solution for Volterra's Population Model by utilizing Spectral methods based on Rational Christov functions. Volterra's model is a nonlinear integro-differential equation. First, the Volterra's Population Model is converted to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE), then researchers solve this equation (ODE). The accuracy of method is tested i...

This work investigates the performance of Differential Evolution (DE) and its opposition-based version (ODE) on large scale optimization problems. Opposition-based differential evolution (ODE) has been proposed based on DE; it employs opposition-based population initialization and generation jumping to accelerate convergence speed. ODE shows promising results in terms of convergence rate, robus...

We suggest an approach for description of integrable cases of the Abel equations using the procedure of increasing the order and equivalence transformations for the induced secondorder equations. A diversity of methods were developed to date for finding solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE). Everybody who encounters integration of a particular ODE uses, as a rule, the acc...

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of parasitic nematodes are required for body movement and are targets of important "classical" anthelmintics like levamisole and pyrantel, as well as "novel" anthelmintics like tribendimidine and derquantel. Four biophysical subtypes of nAChR have been observed electrophysiologically in body muscle of the nematode parasite Oesophagostomum dentatum, but...

Ordinary differential equation (ODE) models, e.g. the susceptible-infected-recovered model, are widely used in engineering, ecology, and epidemiology. Many ODE models

We derive a second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE), which is the limitof Nesterov’s accelerated gradient method. This ODE exhibits approximate equiv-alence to Nesterov’s scheme and thus can serve as a tool for analysis. We show thatthe continuous time ODE allows for a better understanding of Nesterov’s scheme.As a byproduct, we obtain a family of schemes with similar ...

Abstract. We show that the fourth-order nonlinear ODE which controls the pole dynamics in the general solution of equation P 2 I compatible with the KdV equation exhibits two remarkable properties: (1) it governs the isomonodromy deformations of a 2× 2 matrix linear ODE with polynomial coefficients, and (2) it does not possess the Painlevé property. We also study the properties of the Riemann–H...
