New statistic based models provide a wide area of prediction equipments for different science areas. Among these fields biology have just entered the contest of interdisciplinary sciences. Drug discovery is a long and expensive process which could be decreased with theoretical approaches. In this study, 500 reported assayed anti cancer molecules were extracted from Science Direct articles, sket...

The Behavior Change Consortium (BCC), a collective of 15 National Institutes of Health-funded behavior-change projects, was conceived with the goal of evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of novel ways of intervening in diverse populations to reduce tobacco dependence, and improve physical activity, nutrition and other health behaviors. The purpose of this article is to provide a general i...

We investigate the dynamics of a series of two-prey-one-predator models in which the predator exhibits adaptive diet choice based on the different energy contents and/or handling times of the two prey species. The predator is efficient at exploiting its prey and has a saturating functional response; these two features combine to produce sustained population cycles over a wide range of parameter...

Behavior change communication for improving handwashing with soap can be labor and resource intensive, yet quality results are difficult to achieve. Nudges are environmental cues engaging unconscious decision-making processes to prompt behavior change. In this proof-of-concept study, we developed an inexpensive set of nudges to encourage handwashing with soap after toilet use in two primary sch...

pollution of water resources by various pollutants is nowadays a global environmental issue. among the different type of water pollutants, dye represents a major polluting group. in this study, azolla filiculides roots have been used for adsorption of malachite green (mg), a cationic dyed from aqueous solution. in this study, effects of operating parameters such as initial concentration of dye ...

A new dynamic friction model for modeling of elliptical vibration assisted turning (EVAT) was developed in this research. The periodic change of the friction force direction is known to be one of the most important causes of this phenomenon. In modeling of machining processes (including the EVAT process), static Coulomb friction model was employed by most of the researchers. Because of the peri...
