objectives: the aim of this study was to assess and compare the characteristics of commonly used initial archwires by their load deflection graphs. materials and methods : this study tested three wire designs namely copper nickel titanium (cnt), nickel titanium (niti), and multi-strand niti (msnt) archwires engaged in passive self-ligating (psl) brackets, active self-ligating (asl) brackets or ...

  Background and Objective: Improved and modified automation will require the development of smart process control systems that provide on-line decisions to release patients’ test results based on high analytical quality assurance formula. Materials and Methods: We collected patients’ test results from 10840 healthy subjects based on 1.96z as truncation limit for 29 common haematochemical ana...

The nonsymmetric Jack polynomials are defined to be the simultaneous eigenfunctions of a parametrized commuting set of first-order differentialdifference operators. These polynomials form a basis for the homogeneous polynomials and they are labeled by compositions, just like the monomials. The coefficients of the polynomials when expanded in the standard monomial basis are rational functions of...

This paper introduces our design of Indoor Location Based Service System. The system is a client-server system. The client is an Android application. The app determines the user's current location with smart phone sensor values. Among the smart phone sensors, it mainly uses accelerometer and compass. It determines the user's moving direction with the orientation sensor whereas it counts steps b...

In this study we have analysed wind and wave time series data resulting from hourly measurements on the sea surface in Bushehr, the northern part of the Persian Gulf, from 15 July to 4 August 2000. Wind speed (U10) ranged from 0.34 to 10.38 m/s as alternating sea and land breezes. The lowest wind speed occurs at about midnight and the highest at around noon. The calculated autocorrelation of wi...

This paper hypothesizes that average muscle length and minimum tendon strain govern muscle and tendon length adaptation in all situations. A model has been implemented to test this hypothesis, and simulations have been performed for normal development, bone lengthening, immobilization, and retinacular release experiments in young and adult animals. The simulation results predict that both muscl...
