A Novel Traveling Wave Solution for Ostrovsky Equation Using Exp-Function Method
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009)In this paper, we predict a new traveling wave solution of Ostrovsky equation by using He's Exp-function method. The method is straightforward and concise and its application shows an imminent prospective for the nonlinear ... -
A Strong Global Attractor for the 3D Wave Equation with Displacement Dependent Damping
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010)We prove that if the displacement coefficient of the damping of the 3D wave equation is a positive constant on the interval (-l, l), for large enough l > 0, then this equation has a strong global attractor in H(0)(1)(Omega) ... -
A Subclass of Analytic-Functions Defined By Using Certain Operators of Fractional Calculus
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 1995)Making use of certain operators of fractional calculus, we introduce a new class F-delta(n,lambda,alpha) of functions which are analytic in the open unit disk mu and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a function ... -
An Analytic Shooting-Like Approach For The Solution of Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)In this paper a novel approach is presented for an analytic approximate solution of nonlinear differential equations with boundary conditions. By converting the nonlinear problem into an initial value form, a shooting-like ... -
An Asymptotic Investigation Into The Stabilization Effect Of Suction In The Rotating-Disk Boundary Layer Flow
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2007)The suction effects in the three-dimensional boundary layer flow due to a rotating disk are analyzed from the linear stability point of view making use of the asymptotic structure of the suction mean velocity profiles of ... -
An Easy-To-Use Matlab Program (Mamland) For The Assessment Of Landslide Susceptibility Using A Mamdani Fuzzy Algorithm
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012)In this study, landslide susceptibility mapping using a completely expert opinion-based approach was applied for the Sinop (northern Turkey) region and its close vicinity. For this purpose, an easy-to-use program, "MamLand," ... -
An Optimal Variational Iteration Method
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)The variational iteration method is studied in the present work. The classical variational iteration method is improved and extended by introducing a new concept of a convergence accelerating parameter. A rigorous approach ... -
Animal Models of Gene-Environment Interaction in Schizophrenia: A Dimensional Perspective
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016)Schizophrenia has long been considered as a disorder with multifactorial origins. Recent discoveries have advanced our understanding of the genetic architecture of the disease. However, even with the increase of identified ... -
Annulus Criteria For Mixed Nonlinear Elliptic Differential Equations
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)New oscillation criteria are obtained for forced second order elliptic partial differential equations with damping and mixed nonlinearities of the form del . (A(x)vertical bar del y vertical bar(alpha-1)del y) + < b(x), ... -
Asymptotic Behaviour of a Class of Nonlinear Functional Differential Equations of Third Order
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2001)This paper deals with nonoscillatory behaviour of solutions of third-order nonlinear functional differential equations of the form y''' + p(t)y' + q(t)F(y(g(t))) = 0. It has been shown that under certain conditions on ... -
Asymptotic Calculation of Inviscidly Absolutely Unstable Modes of the Compressible Boundary Layer on a Rotating Disk
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2006)In this work a long-wavelength asymptotic approach is used to analyze the region of absolute instability in the compressible rotating disk boundary layer flow. Theoretically determined values of branch points for the ... -
Beware of Your Teaching Style: A School-Year Long Investigation of Controlling Teaching and Student Motivational Experiences
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)Relatively little research drawing from self-determination theory has examined the links between controlling teaching environments and student motivation. To this end, two longitudinal studies were conducted to explore how ... -
Blockade of Gaba Synthesis Only Affects Neural Excitability Under Activated Conditions in Rat Hippocampal Slices
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008)The primary goal of this study was to establish whether inhibition of GABA synthesis was sufficient to induce network hyperexcitability in a rat hippocampal slice model comparable to that seen with GABA receptor blockade. ... -
