Recent observations on structural properties of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) based on the Deep Near-Infrared Southern Sky Survey (DENIS) and Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) have revealed that the LMC has an off-center bar even in the older stellar populations. Previous dynamical models including tidal interaction between the LMC, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and the Galaxy, however, ...

according to development of displacement–performance based design, there are some studies on different structures which most of them are about regular plan structures. in this research has been tried to review the frame steel structures designed based on 2800 standard of iran to achieve the designed structures performance level to find how much function levels it covers in earth quake. to show ...

The development of projections from the retinas to the cortex is mathematically analyzed according to the previously proposed thermodynamic formulation of the self-organization of neural networks. Three types of submodality included in the visual afferent pathways are assumed in two models: model (A), in which the ocularity and retinotopy are considered separately, and model (B), in which on-ce...

Newton’s second law as written appears simple, but how to use the law perceptually is a complex task. Most of the cases it is good for conceptual discussion or development. Normally the sign convention is not shown and has problems to solve. Due to this fact, many do not fully understand Newton’s second law. Modeling complex behavior is like the Newtonian law; people tend to misuse. In this art...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. Many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. Constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. But some weaknesses are found in these indexes. The purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

diabetic mellitus (dm) is a major risk factor of morbidity, mortality and economic cost to society. diabetic patients are at risk of having microvascular or macrovascular disorders of diabetes. postoperative anemia have wide spectrum of some early complications that require more care in hospitalization stays. therefore, this study was designed to evaluate effect of preoperative anemia on short-...
