BACKGROUND Fidelity to the treatment protocol is key to successful trials but often problematic. This article reports the staff's views on delivering a complex rehabilitation intervention: patient-led therapy during inpatient stroke care. METHODS An exploratory qualitative study using focus groups with staff involved in a multicenter (n = 12) feasibility trial of patient-led therapy (the MAES...

The heat transport at microscale is vital important in the field of micro-technology. In this paper heat transport in a two-dimensional thin plate based on dual-phase-lagging (DPL) heat conduction model is investigated. The solution was obtained with the help of superposition techniques and solution structure theorem. . The whole analysis is presented in dimensionless form. A numerical example ...

In this paper, the conjugate gradient method coupled with adjoint problem is used in order to solve the inverse heat conduction problem and estimation of the strength of the time- dependent heat source using the temperature distribution at a point in a three layer system. Also, the effect of noisy data on final solution is studied. The numerical solution of the governing equations is obtained b...

In this article we study the large-time behavior of the solution to a general Rosenau type approximation to the heat equation [16], by showing that the solution to this approximation approaches the fundamental solution of the heat equation (the heat kernel), but at a slower rate than the usual heat equation. This result is valid in particular for the central differences scheme approximation of ...

According to the unique properties and many applications of nano gold powder, it was prepared from an acid leaching tail solution. The low value residual gold ions existed in acid leaching tail solution in Mouteh gold mine in Iran with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (Fe2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+). Preparation of nano gold particles is achieved by two steps: First, by addition of ammonia as separatio...
