INTRODUCTION Conviction rates for drivers driving under the influence (DUI) and in motor vehicle collisions (MVC) presenting to trauma centers are based primarily on data from the 1990s. Our goal was to identify DUI conviction rates of intoxicated drivers in MVCs presenting to a trauma center and to identify factors associated with the failure to obtain a DUI conviction. METHODS Retrospective...

a new mathematical model for identifying pollution sources in aquifers is presented. the model utilizes lagrange constrained optimization method (lcom) and is capable to inversely solve unsteady fluid flow in saturated, heterogeneous, anisotropic confined and/or unconfined aquifers. throughout the presented model, complete advection-dispersion equation, including the adsorption as well as retar...

Governmental systems are one of the significant topics of constitutional law literature and comprehensive studies have been carried out on this issue. The answer to the question whether a parliamentary system, a presidential system or a mixed system is the most suitable system of government can change according to the political preferences of the countries. Since countries search for the best s...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the impact of Saturday opening of alcohol retail shops in Sweden. METHOD An experimental design was applied. Prior to February 2000, all alcohol monopoly outlets we closed on Saturdays. After this date, stores in an experimental area (six counties) were open on Saturdays. In the control area (seven counties) the shops remained closed. To pre...

molecular experiment was conducted to confirm resistant to aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides in winter wild oat (avena ludoviciana duriu.) populations of wheat fields in khuzestan province, at faculty of agriculture of ferdowsi university, during year of 2006. first, 44 wild oat populations from ahvaz, andimeshk, shush, shushtar, ramhormoz, susangerd, and dezful cities with a susceptible popu...

The Ramhormoz region in south and southwest Iran its large-scale geography extends to the northern highlands of present-day modern Khuzestan. Despite significance for connection with Susa-Persopolis Road during Achaemenid period, did not attract archaeological attention until 1948s. Even brevity, results 1969 Wright-Carter survey showed that is promising shedding light on relation between lowla...

We propose an effective and flexible scheme for reverse engineering of a Hamiltonian by designing the evolution operators to eliminate the terms of Hamiltonian which are hard to be realized in practice. Different from transitionless quantum driving (TQD), the present scheme is focus on only one or parts of moving states in a D-dimension (D ≥ 3) system. The numerical simulation shows that the pr...
