Published: January 2015

A kind of new mixed element method for time-fractional partial differential equations is studied. The Caputo-fractional derivative of time direction is approximated by two-step difference method and the spatial direction is discretized by a new mixed element method, whose gradient belongs to the simple (L (2)(Ω)(2)) space replacing the complex H(div; Ω) space. Some a priori error estimates in L (2)-norm for the scalar unknown u and in (L (2))(2)-norm for its gradient σ. Moreover, we also discuss a priori error estimates in H (1)-norm for the scalar unknown u.

The study established experimental transects in undisturbed areas of the Caohai Nature Reserve in Weining, Guizhou Province. The study aims to examine complete successional transects in different landscapes: non-karst, karst, and vegetation restoration, using the spatiotemporal substitution method. It analyzes the distribution patterns of Total potassium (TK) and Avail potassium (AK) in the soil and employs a Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) to investigate the effects of geomorphology, soil aggregates, and their interactions on the changes in soil potassium(K) elements.

Reliable computational methodologies and basis sets for modeling x-ray spectra are essential for extracting and interpreting electronic and structural information from experimental x-ray spectra. In particular, the trade-off between numerical accuracy and computational cost due to the size of the basis set is a major challenge, since molecular orbitals undergo extreme relaxation in the core-hole state. To gain clarity on the changes in electronic structure induced by the formation of a core-hole, the use of sufficiently flexible basis for expanding the orbitals, particularly for the core region, has been shown to be essential.

In this research, the impact of differing densities and viscosities of two dissolving fluids on their mixing efficiency, as well as the effects of various excitation frequencies on the performance of the mixer, have been examined. For this purpose, a two-dimensional microchannel equipped with an oscillating circular cylinder was used, operating within a Strouhal number range of 0.1-0.

Bridging gaps in medication therapy management at community health centers: A mixed-methods study on patient perceptions and pharmacists' preparedness.

Explor Res Clin Soc Pharm

March 2025

Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Background: The primary goals of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) are to avoid pharmaceutical mistakes, facilitate accessible therapy, and encourage patients to actively participate in their health management.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine patients' perceptions of MTM services, evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of Community Health Center (CHC) pharmacists regarding MTM services, and develop strategies to improve MTM services in CHCs.

Methods: A mixed-method approach was designed in three parts.
