Solution of a Birkhoff Interpolation Problem by a Special Spline Function

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computer Applications, 2012
In this paper we have discussed a special lacunary interpolation problem in which the function values, first derivatives at the nodes and the third derivatives at any point λ (0 in between the nodes are prescribed. We have solved the unique existence and convergence problems, using spline functions.

Temporal Trends in and Associations With Nonsteroidal Anti‐inflammatory Drug Prescription in Adult and Pediatric Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Recent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment guidelines have recommended against nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (NSAID) use despite prevalent musculoskeletal symptoms and opioid overuse in this population. Given the discordance between changing national guidelines and potential clinical utility, we sought to assess national temporal

Rational Cubics and Conics Representation: A Practical Approach

open access: yesInternational Islamic University Malaysia Engineering Journal, 2012
A rational cubic spline, with one family of shape parameters, has been discussed with the view to its application in Computer Graphics. It incorporates both conic sections and parametric cubic curves as special cases.

On construction of fourth order Chebyshev splines [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
It is an important fact that general families of Chebyshev and L-splines can be locally represented, i.e. there exists a basis of B-splines which spans the entire space.

Nanoindentation Criteria for Combinatorial Thin Film Libraries

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Thin‐film material libraries are compositional spreads used for screening composition‐structure‐property relationships. Nanoindentation is often used to characterize mechanical behavior across these systems, however variations in methodology are widespread.

Near‐Infrared Organic Photovoltaic Electrodes for Subretinal Neurostimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Organic photovoltaic electrodes based on the D18:Y6 blend enable precise and light‐controlled activation of retinal ganglion cells in a degenerating retina. NIR Light‐driven activation of retinal ganglion cells, tunable stimulation parameters, and biocompatibility with human retinal organoids highlight their potential for next‐generation prosthetics ...
