background: mothers’ empowerment in breast-feeding is a key motivational and psychological factor for continuous breast-feeding. therefore, this study was designed to examine the effects of family-centered educational-supportive program on mothers’ empowerment in breastfeeding. materials and methods: in this random clinical trial, pregnant women who met inclusion criteria were gradually selecte...

The transmutation of transuranic (TRU) elements produced by pressurized water reactors (PWRs) can effectively reduce their radioactive hazards. molten chloride salt fast reactor (MCSFR) is a type liquid-fueled (MSR) using fuel in the form salts. MCSFR utilizing neutron spectrum and high actinide fraction considered to be potential for TRU transmutation. An online refueling reprocessing scenario...

Background & Aims: The purpose of the present study was to compare feeding problems, infant eating behavior, and feeding styles between infants with and without feeding problems according to their mothers’ narratives. Methods: In this casual-comparative study, 50 mother-infant dyads were selected using convenient sampling. The infants’ ages ranged between 6 to...

Abstract This paper documents the analysis of ITER ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRF) launcher using TOPICA code, throughout recent years’ design activities. The ability to simulate detailed geometry an ICRF antenna in front a realistic plasma and obtain input parameters, electric currents on conductors radiated field distribution next is significant importance evaluate predict overall syst...

introduction: promoting and maintaining breastfeeding is an important part of the healthcare, nutrition and other social measures required to promote proper growth and development of infants, and a major component of primary healthcare. several factors affect onset and duration of breastfeeding. self-efficacy is one of those factors that can be modified, buthas been less studied. objective:the ...

Finding ways of increasing the efficiency of production systems is a key issue of sustainability. System efficiency is based on long-term individual efficiency, which is highly variable and management driven. To study the effects of management on herd and individual efficiency, we developed the model simulation of goat herd management (SIGHMA). This dynamic model is individual-based and represe...
