3) Critically damped: [math]x(t) = (A + Bt)e^{- \gamma t}[/math] This is the optimally damped case, where the damping coefficient is just large enough to completely quell the oscillations, so the oscillator returns to zero in the least amount of time possible. 4) Overdamped: [math]x(t) = Ae^{- \gamma_{1}t} + Be^{- \gamma_{2}t}[/math]
DEAR READER: A woman is considered to be in menopause once it has been one year since her last period. Once menopause begins, vaginal bleeding is not normal. Post-menopausal bleeding (PMB) can happen for many reasons. It may result from infection or injury. Non-cancerous growths such as polyps and fibroids can cause PMB. So can bleeding disorders or use of blood thinners.
Menopause is defined as occurring 12 months after your last menstrual period and marks the end of menstrual cycles. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in the United States. Menopause is a natural biological process. Although it also ends fertility, you can stay healthy, vital and sexual. Some women feel relieved because they no longer need to worry about pregnancy.
