The Kepler's equation of elliptic orbits is one of the most significant fundamental physical equations in Satellite Geodesy. This paper demonstrates symbolic iteration method based on computer algebra analysis (SICAA) to solve the Kepler's equation. The paper presents general symbolic formulas to compute the eccentric anomaly (E) without complex numerical iterative computation at run-time. This approach couples the Taylor series expansion with higher-order trigonometric function reductions during the symbolic iterative progress. Meanwhile, the relationship between our method and the traditional infinite series expansion solution is analyzed in this paper, obtaining a new truncation method of the series expansion solution for the Kepler's equation. We performed substantial tests on a modest laptop computer. Solutions for 1,002,001 pairs of (e, M) has been conducted. Compared with numerical iterative methods, 99.93% of all absolute errors δ of eccentric anomaly (E) obtained by our method is lower than machine precision [Formula: see text] over the entire interval. The results show that the accuracy is almost one order of magnitude higher than that of those methods (double precision). Besides, the simple codes make our method well-suited for a wide range of algebraic programming languages and computer hardware (GPU and so on).

An efficient trigonometrical-fitted two-derivative multistep collocation (TF-TDMC) method using Legendre polynomials up to order five as the basis functions, has been developed for solving second-order ordinary differential equations with oscillatory solution effectively. Interpolation method of approximated power series and collocation technique of its second and third derivative are implemented in the construction of the methods. Two-derivative multistep collocation methods are developed in predictor and corrector form with varying collocation and interpolation points.

Article Synopsis
  • The concept of flourishing, a key idea in positive psychology, represents a high level of wellbeing, but there's still debate among scientists on how to define and measure it, creating challenges for researchers.
  • This study does a comparative analysis of four popular flourishing measurement tools: PERMA-Profiler, Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, Flourishing Scale, and Wellbeing Conceptual Framework, specifically in a German-speaking sample.
  • Findings show that all four measures effectively assess flourishing, but they cater to different needs, with the first three providing a broader view and the Wellbeing Conceptual Framework focusing on more specific aspects of flourishing.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cells that have separated from a solid cancerous lesion and entered the bloodstream. They play a crucial role in driving the metastatic spread to distant organs, which is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Various concepts for blood purification devices aiming to remove CTCs from the blood and prevent metastases have been developed.

Numerical simulation of blood flow is a challenging topic due to the multiphase nature of this biological fluid. The choice of a specific method among the ones available in literature is often motivated by the physical scale of interest. Single-phase approximation allows for lower computational time, but does not consider this multiphase nature.

  • The study aimed to assess whether the baseline prognostic nutritional index (PNI) could predict surgical outcomes in patients with native spine infections.
  • Researchers analyzed records of adult patients diagnosed with spine infections from 2017-2022, calculating their PNI based on serum albumin and lymphocyte count to categorize them into high or low PNI groups.
  • Results showed that patients with low PNI were more likely to require surgery and experience complications compared to those with high PNI, suggesting that PNI is a valuable indicator for assessing the severity of spinal infections and potential need for surgery.
