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.
Irregular Periods: About four to eight years prior to natural menopause, typically in a woman's late 40s, menopause-related changes may begin. One of the most common and annoying symptoms you may notice during your 40s is that your periods become irregular. They may be heavy one month and very light the next.
