Background: Excessive use of mobile phones is addictive and causes many complications. The severity of these complications depends on the duration of the call and the frequency of using mobile phones. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of mobile phone waves on salivary secretion. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 120 dental students in Rafsanjan, Ir...

background : substantial evidence indicates that exposure to electromagnetic fields (emf) above certain levels can affect human health through triggering some biological responses. according to who, short-term exposure to emf at the levels present in the home/environment do not cause any apparent detrimental effects in healthy individuals. however, now, there is a debate on whether long-term ex...

in this paper, we propose a scheme to improve existing ad-hoc on-demanddistance vector (aodv) routing protocol by discovering and maintaining multiplenon-overlapped routes. our routing protocol is a multipath version of aodvrouting protocol that considers only the disjoint path. due to non-overlappingamong paths, when a link breaks in the network, only one of paths is expired. thepresented rout...

the trace element contents on the surface originated from mineralization would depend to the thickness of the calcrete layer above the ore deposit on the surface. a very thick layer of calcrete may not allow for much dispersion of the elements of interest in the surface. these elements may be concentrated in non-magnetic and magnetic part of calcrete. based on the current research, mineralogica...

this research aimed at   applying servqual model to examine the relationship between mobile banking services and customer satisfaction. while the previous researchers had already examined the effect of qualities services on banking customer satisfaction, no previous study was done on mobile banking. thus, the current paper attempted to fill the gap in the literature by applying servqual model t...

network environments always can be invaded by intruder agents. in networks where nodes are performing some computations, intruder agents might contaminate some nodes. therefore, problem of decontaminating a network infected by intruder agents is one of the major problems in these networks. in this paper, we present a distributed asynchronous local algorithm for decontaminating a network. in mos...

abstract background: the parents of autistic children suffer from anxiety and tension. unawareness of parenting skills required for autistic children (parenting) doubles their anxiety. researchers have recently considered research on mobile education, especially mobile text messages. the present study aimed to investigate the effect of mobile parenting skills education on the anxiety of mothers...

background: stress among diabetic patients is much more as compared to normal individuals. a delayed recognition of stress undoubtedly worsens the prognosis for survival for many diabetic patients. hence, this study was planned to develop an intervention model for the reduction of stress among diabetic patients and to evaluate the developed intervention model in the proposed group. methods: thi...

introduction:  the  use  of  mobile  communication  systems  has  dramatically  increased  over  the  past  decade. although many studies have been performed to determine the effect of radio frequency (rf) but  less attention has been paid to the possible biological impact of exposure to extremely low frequency  (elf) components.   the objective of this study is two folds. one is to design the ...
