Correlated basis function theory and Fermi hypernetted chain theory are extended to treat finite Fermi systems . In this first paper, the effects of the scalar nucleon-nucleon correlations are investigated by studying some model N = Z nuclei . Results of calculations performed using central nucleon-nucleon potentials, without tensor components, are presented and are compared with results from o...

Background: Open hamstring lengthening (oHSL) is commonly performed to decrease knee contracture and improvegait and posture for children with spastic diplegia. Furthermore, percutaneous hamstring lengthening (pHSL) is alsogaining popularity as an alternative to the open approach. This study aimed to compare the results of pHSL versusoHSL and to determine the efficacy and safe...

‎Let $X$ be a real normed  space, then  $C(subseteq X)$  is  functionally  convex  (briefly, $F$-convex), if  $T(C)subseteq Bbb R $ is  convex for all bounded linear transformations $Tin B(X,R)$; and $K(subseteq X)$  is  functionally   closed (briefly, $F$-closed), if  $T(K)subseteq Bbb R $ is  closed  for all bounded linear transformations $Tin B(X,R)$. We improve the    Krein-Milman theorem  ...

During my short time as Editor-in-Chief of Biology Open (BiO), I’ve come to realise that publishing in the biomedical sciences is entering a period of profound change, the likes of which none of us has experienced before. The present system is under sustained attack and, although many scientists are probably unaware of this, there seems little chance that it will survive in its current form. In...

immature teeth have a large apical opening and thin divergent or parallel dentinal walls; hence, with conventional needle irrigation there is a very high possibility of extrusion. this study was done to compare the apical extrusion of naocl in an immature root delivered using endovac and needle irrigation.eighty freshly extracted maxillary central incisors were decoronated followed by access ca...

to evaluate the quality of services in hospitals can rely on mortality rate and side effects rate. according to performed studies, side effects rate is a better indicator to evaluate the quality of hospital services, therefore decreasing of side effects is one of the main objectives in hospital management. a side effect of open-heart surgery is the skin damage. some of iranian patients who were...

Background & Aims: This study was performed to compare the effects of open and closed chain terminal knee extension exercises on onset latency of vastus medialis obliques (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL), pain and function in subjects diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Methods: In a pretest and posttest 5-week intervention study, 26 subjects diagnosed with PFPS and 13 healthy su...

Optimum control of upstream pumping station in open channels with given constraint in downstream end is presented in this paper. The upstream control is capable of minimizing water level fluctuations in the channel in which the downstream pumping station causes an undesirable wave. The proposed method combines an unsteady non-uniform flow solver with shock-capturing capability, Fourier series a...

This paper discussed the scheduling problem of outpatients in a radiology center with an emphasis on priority. To more compatibility to real-world conditions, we assume that the elapsed times in different stages to be uncertain that follow from the specific distribution function. The objective is to minimize outpatients’ total spent time in a radiology center. The problem is formulated as a fle...
