BACKGROUND Onchocerciasis, an infection caused by the filarial nematode Onchocerca volvulus, is a major public health concern. Given the debilitating symptoms associated with onchocerciasis and concerns about recrudescence in areas of previous onchocerciasis control, more efficient tools are needed for diagnosis and monitoring of control measures. We investigated whether luciferase immunoprecip...

this article looks into the relationship between perceptions of organizational virtuousness (ov), affective well–being (awb), and affective commitment (ac), in insurance companies operating in tehran. using cochran formula, number of samples required to collect research data was estimated to be 196. to access this amount of sample, 20 insurance companies in tehran were selected using random clu...

In this research study, a novel computational algorithm for solving second-order singular functional differential equation as generalization of the well-known Lane–Emden and differential-difference equations is presented by using Bessel bases. This technique depends on transforming problem into system algebraic unknown coefficients are determined solution will be known. The method tested severa...

In this paper, we define fractal bases and frames of L2(I×J), where I J are real compact intervals, in order to approximate two-dimensional square-integrable maps whose domain is a rectangle, using the identification L2(I×J) with tensor product space L2(I)⨂L2(J). First, recall procedure constructing perturbation continuous or integrable function. Then, composed such functions. We also obtain we...

A new method of generating the Bessel functions and ratios of Bessel functions necessary for Mie calculations is presented. Accuracy is improved while eliminating the need for extended precision word lengths or large storage capability. The algorithm uses a new technique of evaluating continued fractions that starts at the beginning rather than the tail and has a built-in error check. The conti...

Recently, the use of Bessel beams in evaluating the possibility of using them for a new generation of ground penetrating radar systems has been considered. Therefore, an analysis of the propagation of Bessel beams in conducting media is worthwhile. We present here an analysis of this type. Specifically, for normal incidence we analyze the propagation of a Bessel beam coming from a perfect diele...

A Bessel generator multiplier for a unitary system is a bounded linear operator that sends Bessel generator vectors to Bessel generator vectors. We characterize some special (but useful) Bessel generator multipliers for the unitary systems that are ordered products of two unitary groups. These include the wavelet and the Gabor unitary systems. We also provide a detailed exposition of some of th...

Abstract.In this paper, the generalized Bessel matrix polynomials are introduced, starting from the hypergeometric matrix function. Integral form, Rodrigues’s formula and generating matrix function are then developed for the generalized Bessel matrix polynomials. These polynomials appear as finite series solutions of second-order matrix differential equations and orthogonality property for the ...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. OBJECTIVE To determine the optimal osteotomized vertebra (OV) and lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) kyphosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Although most of AS kyphosis cases are treated by pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO), few studies have focused on the selection of the LIV relative to distal OV. METHODS We reviewed all A...
