background : a multidimensional approach to health which addresses the psychological features of health justifies the necessity of designing or validation of brief instruments for screening in general population. this study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the persian version of the who-5-p as a brief scale of well-being. methods : in this study 451 individuals, i.e., over-15-ye...

We present OPE predictions for the hadronic mass and q2 moments in inclusive semileptonic charmless B decays, with a lower cut on the charged lepton energy and an upper cut on the hadronic invariant mass. We include non-perturbative corrections through O(1/mb ) and perturbative contributions through O(α 2 sβ0). We also investigate the range of the cut on the hadronic mass for which the local OP...

A method for single hard fault detection in linear analog circuits based on simulation before testing approach is proposed in this paper. Simulation before testing approach locates or identifies faulty components of the circuit under test (CUT) by creating a fault dictionary for all the potentially faulty components from the simulation of CUT. In the proposed approach, the CUT is simulated usin...

Some large vessels have a mixed functional population of postjunctional α1- and α 2-adrenoceptors. The purpose of the work presented here was to investigate the population of postjunctional α -adrenoceptors in the rat isolated common carotid artelY Male Wi star rats were killed by overdose with pentobarbitone sodium, after which the left and right common carotid arteries were removed. Rings...

In this paper, first we examine the usual treatment of temporal information and we recall the main features relative to the temporality analysis in texts. Then we deal with the formal representation of calendar expressions, and we provide a functional approach, based on a categorical representation of ordinals. Finally, an ongoing application providing a help for the reading of long biography i...

For several decades, Restoration studies have noted deficiencies in the treatment of the theology of leadership and of practical ecclesiology. This paper responds to the lack of research linking ecclesiology to organizational design and to the theology of leadership in the Church of Christ tradition by building upon the ecclesiological framework composed of theological tradition, church metapho...
