Evaluating Functional Regions

Evaluation of Model-Based Methods in Estimating Dynamic Functional Connectivity of Brain Regions

Today, neuroscientists are interested in discovering human brain functions through brain networks. In this regard, the evaluation of dynamic changes in functional connectivity of the brain regions by using functional magnetic resonance imaging data has attracted their attention. In this paper, we focus on two model-based approaches, called the exponential weighted moving average model and the d...

Validity and Reliability of Pass in Evaluating the Self-Care Skills of Patients With Parkinson’s Disease

Objectives: The Parkinson's disease is a progressive phenomenon that effort for maintain of independence in functional and self-care skills is considered as one of the most important aspects of their life. PASS (Performance Assessment of Self Care Skills) evaluates the activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and functional mobility (MOB) of the patients...

Evaluating the Performance of 2,3-dihydro-1H-phenothiazine-4(5aH)-one as an Ionophore in Construction of a Cation Selective Electrode by Density Functional Theory

In this study, the complexation of 2,3-dihydro-1H-phenothiazine-4(5aH)-one with 14 various cations were investigated by density functional theory. At the outset, the structures of the ligand, different cations and their derived complexes were optimized geometrically. Then, IR calculations were performed on them in order to acquire the formation enthalpy and Gibbs free energy values. The obtaine...

Evaluating the Efficiency and Benchmarking of Regions in an Electricity Distribution Company Using a Public Lighting Asset Management Model

Public lighting networks are constructed and maintained to provide social security and traffic safety. Due to the expansion of cities, the development in public lighting is inevitable. In addition to new investment, the public lighting service and maintenance program imposes high costs on distribution companies. Since performance assessment methods focus on a combination of key performance indi...
