It is of great interest to measure the properties of substructures in dark matter halos at galactic and cluster scales. Here we suggest a method to constrain substructure properties using the variance of weak gravitational flexion in a galaxy-galaxy lensing context. We show the effectiveness of flexion variance in measuring substructures in N-body simulations of dark matter halos, and present t...

Model Driven Architecture (MDA) gains increasing acceptance in software engineering community. MDA promotes system development by gradual transformation of system models expressed in Unified Modelling Language (UML). UML modelling facilitates better understanding of system requirements, but it is yet insufficient for guaranteeing overall correctness of the final product. In this paper we propos...

objectives: down syndrome (ds) is the most common multiple congenital anomaly syndrome associated with a developmental disability. children with down syndrome have delay in both motor and mental age. this study carried out to explore relationship between mental and motor age of children with ds. methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 participants with ds (5 to 7 years old) using r...

We report three cases of asymptomatic celiac disease identified in children with Down syndrome after being screened at around twenty-four months of age.  These cases raise the question as to what age is screening for celiac disease indicated in a child with Down syndrome and no symptoms.

The aim of the present study is investigate that the effectiveness of a teaching method which is based on subjective well-being increasing activities and engagement increasing activities, has been developed for university students in the present study. The method of the present study is a mixed method. Thus, the most important feature of it has been considered experimental method that includes ...

one of the possible threats in increasing use of nanomaterials is the emergence of toxicity in humans and other animals which is discussed in nanotoxicology. in addition to toxic effects of nanomaterials themselves, different chemical precursors which are usually used in bottom-up approaches for production of nanomaterials may have secondary toxic effects in living organisms. in contrast, less ...
