this study aimed to evaluate the reliability factors, and identify causes of error in direct anthropometry method. after training three beginner anthropometrists and following the instructions of anthropometric standards, 48 body dimensions of 42 male students were measured three times. in other words, the physical dimensions of each subject were measured for 9 times. all participants were wear...

This paper investigates the fault detection of a micro parallel plate capacitor subjected to nonlinear electrostatic force. For this end Thau observer, which has good ability in fault detection of nonlinear system has been presented and governing nonlinear dynamic equation of the capacitor has been presented. Upper and lower threshold for fault detection have been obtained. The robustness of th...

We introduce heterogeneous preferences for location in 2-region core-periphery models, thereby generating an additional dispersive force: the home-sweet-home effect. Different forms of heterogeneity induce different long-run spatial distributions economic activity, depending on short-run equilibrium model and distribution that are considered. Our analysis highlights importance convexity/concavi...

results inter-observer agreement of the pathology scores based on nas scoring system was acceptable for steatosis, lobular inflammation, and fibrosis, but not for hepatocyte ballooning. the intra-observer agreement was acceptable in all scales, with lowest intra-class correlation observed for lobular inflammation. materials and methods the anonymous liver biopsy samples of 100 consecutive nafld...
