In this research, we study some properties of compactons using Finite Element Method (FEM). This method is complicated for programming and very time consuming; but it is an accurate method. Using this method, we studied soliton properties and obtained results were acceptable. The...
We present first principles calculations of the electronic properties of TlBr and TlCl binary semiconductor compounds. The dependences on hydrostatic pressure of these properties (band structure, density of states, electronic charge density) are successfully calculated using self...
Aims: To assess the efficacy of lafutidine therapy versus rabeprazole in Indian patients with endoscopically and histologically proven gastritis and peptic ulcer. Study Design: A double blind, double dummy, randomized, comparative study. Place and Duration of Study: Global Liver...
