Many real-world search and optimization problems involve inequality and/or equality constraints and are thus posed as constrained optimization problems. In trying to solve constrained optimization problems using classical optimization methods, this paper presents a Multi-Objective Bees Algorithm (MOBA) for solving the multi-objective optimal of mechanical engineering problems design. In the pre...

background and aim: menopause refers to the cessation of menstruation due to hormonal changes and ovarian inactivity in women. these changes in hormone levels lead to various health consequences. this period of physiological changes usually starts in women with 40-50 years of age, and is characterized by the reduction of estrogen level. the mortality rate of premenopausal women, due to cardiova...

background: in this study the overall, age and sex prevalence of diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure were calculated and the association among some risk factors and these two diseases, occurring simultaneously, were studied. methods: in this cross-sectional study 3000 isfahanian men and women between the ages of 15-64 were investigated by using stratified sampling method with multi-stage ...
