Background & Aims: The purpose of the present study was to compare feeding problems, infant eating behavior, and feeding styles between infants with and without feeding problems according to their mothers’ narratives. Methods: In this casual-comparative study, 50 mother-infant dyads were selected using convenient sampling. The infants’ ages ranged between 6 to 12 months. After matching, the inf...

introduction: electronic education is there to enhance knowledge of patients especially mothers during postpartum and can provide an efficient way to enhance personnel-patient interaction.  so, this study was conducted to define the effect of electronic education on the awareness of women about post partum breast feeding education. materials and methods: this is a quasi- experimental study cond...

abstract   in this study, three groups of honey [natural honey; honey produced by the supplementary feeding of bees with saccharose syrup (ssh) and heat and acid (88 _ċ 2 h; 0.1% hcl) treated saccharose syrup honey (issh)] were produced and physicochemical (water content, ph, free acidity, ash, hmf, diastase activity, sucrose, protein and viscosity), microbiological and sensory properties of th...

introduction: promoting and maintaining breastfeeding is an important part of the healthcare, nutrition and other social measures required to promote proper growth and development of infants, and a major component of primary healthcare. several factors affect onset and duration of breastfeeding. self-efficacy is one of those factors that can be modified, buthas been less studied. objective:the ...

background: selection of the best approach for the treatment of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection that encompasses higher eradication and lower failure rates leads to a decline in its related complications and disorders. to understand the relative efficacy of new sequential therapy compared with standard triple therapy as two common regimens, we have performed a randomized, controlled t...

high mortality and labor costs are associated with first-feeding sturgeon culture, particularly during the period of dietary transition from live to formulated feed. therefore we investigated the effects of various feeding treatments on the survival and growth of the persian sturgeon ( acipenser persicus ) larvae during a 20-day culture period. three replicate groups (250 fish/replicate) of fir...

In an experiment on sequential rent seeking, we find that the theoretically predicted first-mover advantage does not exist empirically. Rather, a second-mover advantage can be observed. Though the subgame perfect equilibrium can not prevail in experiment, individual behavior is highly reasonable nevertheless, such that subjects appear to play a reduced form of the original game. We also observe...

As parallel machines become more widely available, many existing algorithms are being converted to take advantage of the improved speed offered by such computers. However, the method by which the algorithm is distributed is crucial towards obtaining the speed-ups required for many real-time tasks. This paper presents three parallel implementations of the Douglas-Peucker line simplification algo...
