AbstractIn this paper, the variational iteration method and the Adomian decomposition method are implemented to give approximate solutions for linear and nonlinear systems of differential equations of fractional order. The two methods in applied mathematics can be used ...

AbstractA numerical method for solving nonlinear oscillators is proposed. The proposed scheme is based on the differential transform method (DTM), Laplace transform and Padé approximants. The modified differential transform method (MDTM) technique introduces an alternat...

AbstractIn this paper we propose a reliable algorithm for the solution of nonlinear oscillators. Our algorithm is based upon the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), Laplace transforms, and Padé approximants. This modified homotopy perturbation method (MHPM) utilizes an ...

AbstractOur new compound, 5′-Br [(E)-1-(5′-bromo-2′-oxoindolin-3′-ylidene)-6-ethyl-2,3,6,9-tetrahydro-2,9-dioxo-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinoline-8-carboxylic acid], had shown strong, selective antiproliferative activity against different cancer cell lines. Here, we aim to com...

Abstract One of the most challenging tasks for any industrial firm with a large product mix is the creation of a robust production schedule. In addition, it is not an unusual practice that last minute orders arriving with higher priorities will necessitate modifications...

SummaryMicroenvironments appear important in stem cell lineage specification but can be difficult to adequately characterize or control with soft tissues. Naive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are shown here to specify lineage and commit to phenotypes with extreme sensiti...

Abstract We give a complete reference for work cited in [M.H.M. Rashid, Property (gb) and perturbations, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 383 (1) (2011) 82–94].

Abstract In this work we created two hand image databases, usingmobile phone cameras and webcams. Themajor goal of these databases is to build upon aperson's authentication/identification using hand biometrics,decreasing the need for expensive hand scanners. Both databa...

AbstractLet U and V be finite-dimensional vector spaces over a field k, α∈GL(U), β∈GL(V) and I be the identity transformation on V. Denote by α*β and α*I the induced linear automorphisms on U⊕V; α*β and α*I can also be regarded as k-automorphisms on the function field k...
