Synthetic cannabinoids have been detected in various herbal blends sold legally in convenience stores, smoke shops, and on the Internet. Many of these compounds have extreme forensic significance. We developed and validated a rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of trace concentrations of two of these compounds, JWH-018 and JWH-073,...

Abstract Extending the belongs to (∈) relation and quasi-coincidence with(q) relation between fuzzy points and a fuzzy subsets, the concept of (α, β)-fuzzy filters and (α, β)-fuzzy filters of lattice implication algebras are introduced, where α, β ∈ {∈h , qδ, ∈h ∨qδ, ∈h ∧qδ}, α, β ∈ {∈h, qδ, ∈h ∨ qδ, ∈h ∧ qδ} but α ∈h ∧qδ, α ∈h ∧ qδ, respectively, and some related properties are investigated. S...

Each society has a social health definition based on its characteristics. One of the important and influential factors on social health is the level of social consensus in society. This research was conducted to investigate the effect of social consensus on social health. The statistical population of the study is all citizens living in Tehran. The sampling method was multi-stage cluster sampli...

In this paper, error estimates for generalized Laguerre–Gauss-type interpolations are derived in nonuniformly weighted Sobolev spaces weighted with ωα,β(x) = x αe−βx, α > −1, β > 0. Generalized Laguerre pseudospectral methods are analyzed and implemented. Two model problems are considered. The proposed schemes keep spectral accuracy and, with suitable choice of basis functions, lead to sparse a...

The present paper deals with the various q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials. We define a new type ofmultiple generalized q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials withweight α andweakweight β by applying the method of p-adic q-integral. We will find a link between their numbers and polynomials with weight α and weak weight β. Also we will obtain the interesting properties of their numbers and polynomi...

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a general transformation or change of Finsler metrics, which is referred to as a generalized β-conformal change: L(x, y) −→ L(x, y) = f(eL(x, y), β(x, y)). This transformation combines both β-change and conformal change in a general setting. The change, under this transformation, of the fundamental Finsler connections, together with their associated g...

Background: Social capital has been defined as norms, networks, and social links that facilitate collective actions. Social capital is related to a number of main social and public health variables. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the factors associated with social capital among the residents of Tehran, Iran. Methods: In this large cross-sectional population-based study, 31531 r...

Private-order market institutions founded on trust-based relational contracts suffer adverse selection and moral hazard problems, while public-order market institutions have a limited capacity to enforce contracts. We model agent selection between contract enforcement institutions and demonstrate that the state’s contract enforcement capacity is complementary to private-order contract enforceme...
