introduction: to evaluate the reliability, validity and feasibility of the persian version of the pediatric quality of life inventory (pedsql™ 4.0tm 4.0) generic core scales in iranian healthy students ages 7-15 and chronically ill children ages 2-18. methods: we followed the translation methodology proposed by developer to validate persian version of pedsql™ 4.0tm 4.0 generic core scales for c...

Data-directed programs consist of collections of generic functions, functions whose underlying implementation differs depending on properties of their arguments. Scheme’s flexibility lends itself to developing generic functions, but the language has some shortcomings in this regard. In particular, it lacks both facilities for conveniently extending generic functions while preserving the flexibi...

In this paper, we investigate connections between structures present in every generic extension of the universe V and computability theory. We introduce the notion of generic Muchnik reducibility that can be used to to compare the complexity of uncountable structures; we establish basic properties of this reducibility, and study it in the context of generic presentability, the existence of a co...

this descriptive correlational research sought to examine generic competencies required for university graduates from the points of view of agricultural engineers and mangers in kermanshah province. the study concentrated on the population of public agricultural managers (n= 130) as well as agricultural engineers (who were members of agricultural engineering system organization) in kermanshah p...

‎‎in the category of mordell curves (e_d:y^2=x^3+d) with nontrivial torsion groups we find curves of the generic rank two as quadratic twists of (e_1), ‎and of the generic rank at least two and at least three as cubic twists of (e_1). ‎previous work‎, ‎in the category of mordell curves with trivial torsion groups‎, ‎has found infinitely many elliptic curves with rank at least seven as sextic tw...

This genre-based study investigated the cross-disciplinary variations in the rhetorical structure of the Discussion sections of 104 applied linguistics and chemistry research articles (RAs), drawing upon Basturkmen’s (2009, 2012) framework and taking into account the new insights proposed by Bhatia (2004), Shehzad (2008), and Lim (2012). To this end, in addition to collecting quantitative data ...

A bstract We analyse the most general process of a generic highly excited string that decays into less excited, yet generic, emitting tachyon. provide simple and compact analytic description decay which discriminates between within structure every single microstate initial final string. Taking account random nature we extract energy spectrum strings, by microstate, finding behavior corresponds ...

Change is endemic to any large software system. Business, technology, and organization usually frequently change in the life cycle of a software system. However, changing a large software system is difficult: localizing the code that is responsible for a particular part of the functionality of a system, changing it, and ensuring that the change does not lead to inconsistencies or other problems...
