conclusions this study indicated that health belief model contrasts could predict the risky behavior of university students due to heart disease. however, more researches are needed to verify the predictors of high risky behaviors in students. background disease preventing methods focus mostly on lifestyle factors such as physical activity, healthy diet and not smoking. previous studies verifie...

background & aim : heart failure is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases which decreases the quality of life. most of the factors influencing quality of life can be modified with ongoing educational interventions. inadequate teaching is one of the causes of low health outcomes. therefore, this study examined the effects of a roy’s adaptation model (ram) based on quality of life of pat...

This paper considers some fundamental questions concerning marginally trapped surfaces, or apparent horizons, in Cauchy data sets for the Einstein equation. An area estimate for outermost marginally trapped surfaces is proved. The proof makes use of an existence result for marginal surfaces, in the presence of barriers, curvature estimates, together with a novel surgery construction for margina...

Phase noise and jitter are two related quantities associated with a noisy oscillator. Phase noise is a frequency-domain view of the noise spectrum around the oscillator signal, while jitter is a timedomain measure of the timing accuracy of the oscillator period. This paper discusses the relationship between phase noise and jitter in free-running oscillators. The reader is referred to three othe...

More recently, Deprez and Pierce (1993) offered an explanation for Klima and Bellugi’s stages based on a parameter-setting model of Universal Grammar (UG) (Chomsky 1981). Deprez and Pierce proposed that the subject raising parameter is initially set to allow the subject to remain inside VP. According to Deprez and Pierce, sentences containing “external negation” result when the subject fails to...
