Comparison of Two Methods of Direct and Indirect Education on Osteoporosis Preventive Behaviors among Female Students

Background Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease that decreases bone mass, causes destruction and eventually friability. This disease is preventable, and because adolescent females are the high-risk population, teaching this age group is of the utmost importance. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the two educational methods (Lecture and Pamphlet) on osteoporos...

Principles of Boundary Element Methods

Boundary integral equations are a classical tool for the analysis of boundary value problems for partial differential equations. The term “ boundary element method” (BEM) denotes any method for the approximate numerical solution of these boundary integral equations. The approximate solution of the boundary value problem obtained by BEM has the distinguishing feature that it is an exact solution...

Evaluating Anthropometric Dimensions of the Femur Using Direct and Indirect Methods

Introduction: The human anthropometric characteristics are surveyed in anthropology. Anthropology is used in archeology, rehabilitation and legal medicine. The purpose of this study was to determine femur which has a special place in the science of anthropometry. Methods: To measure the femur, both direct and indirect methods was used. The direct method of measuring the 113 femur in dissection...
