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.
Postmenopausal bleeding is vaginal bleeding that happens at least 12 months after your periods have stopped. Although it's a common problem, it's not normal to bleed at this time â even if it's just spotting â so don't ignore it. Make an appointment to see your GP as soon as possible.
