One of the main controlling parameters in diesel engine combustion is the fuel – air mixing process that has direct effects on engine performance and pollutant emissions, reviewing over previous literature showed that split injection strategies could satisfy this purpose very well. For the first time and in this paper, pilot and double injection strategies were combined and formed new triple in...

helicobacter pylori infection is a prevalent disease among iranian children. the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of ciprofloxacin and furazolidone on eradicating helicobacter pylori in iranian children in combination with amoxicillin and omeprazole. in this cohort study, helicobacter pylori infection was confirmed by gastroscopy, rapid urease test or pathologic assessments. a to...

objective: the present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group triple-p on the relationships of mother-child with id (intellectual disability).  methods: in this semi-experimental study with pretest and posttest design by control group, parent-child relationship scale (pcrs) was determined in 40 random clustering selected mothers of children with id before and after the intervention...

background: spine of an adult is made up of five areas that include 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and finally coccyx. selecting appropriate assumptions for modeling and biological analysis of the spine components has a significant impact on the accuracy of results in biomechanical simulation for different modes. methods: in the present study, biomechani...

The Linked Open Data community continuously releases massive amounts of RDF data that shall be used to easily create applications that incorporate data from different sources. Inter-operability across different sources requires links at instanceand at schema-level, thus connecting entities on the one hand and relating concepts on the other hand. State-of-the-art entityand ontology-alignment met...

Introduction: Heart failure is a major hazard for public health. Despite recent advance in medical therapy, there is not enough information on the outcome of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and medical therapy on the patients with severe ventricular dysfunction and triple-vessel (CAD). This study aimed to compare treatment outcomes and mortality rate in patients undergoing off-pump coro...

  Background: Knee malalignment is an important modifiable cause of osteoarthritis (OA). Surgical therapeutic procedures depend on proper knee alignment assessment. The purpose of this study was to compare knee alignment parameters between double and single leg weight-bearing radiographs and to evaluate the reproducibility of inter- and intra-observer measurements. Methods: One hundred eight p...

One of the most important factors that affects construction costs of highways is the earthwork cost. On the other hand, the earthwork cost strongly depends on the design of vertical alignment or project line. In this study, at first, the problem of vertical alignment optimization was formulated. To this end, station, elevation and vertical curve length in case of each point of vertical intersec...
