In reflection seismology, knowing the seismic wavelet is important both for processing seismic data and for modeling the seismic response. There are two approaches to obtain the seismic wavelet. One approach is deterministic and the other is statistic. This work belongs to the second category. A seismic wavelet is determined by the product of amplitude spectrum and phase spectrum. A conventiona...

objectives: autism spectrum disorder (asd) is a group of neurodevelopment syndromes with impairments in social communications and restrictive or repetitive behaviors. neurofeedback is a new method that may regulate neuro and metabolic function in brain. this study is semi-experimental, with pre and post test.  methods: in 26 children with asd, 40 sessions of neurofeedback were done. brain waves...

background escherichia coli (e. coli) species are able to produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (esbls) that cause high resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics. therefore, determining the antibiotic susceptibility patterns in resistant organisms is necessary for suitable therapeutic approaches. patients and methods totally, 260 clinical isolates of e. coli were collected from hospitals in te...

the energy of a graph is equal to the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. two graphs of the same order are said to be equienergetic if their energies are equal. we point out the following two open problems for equienergetic graphs. (1) although it is known that there are numerous pairs of equienergetic, non-cospectral trees, it is not known how to systematically construct any such pa...

background & objectives:extended-spectrum-b-lactamase (esbl)-producing strains of klebsiella pneumoniaare an important cause of many serious infections in hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients and delayed treatment of these infections in crease chance of death in patients. this study was performed to determine the prevalence of esbl-producing k. pneumonia and to evaluate the frequency o...

OBJECTIVE Many studies have implicated prenatal infection in the etiology of schizophrenia. Cytokines, a family of soluble polypeptides, are critically important in the immune response to infection and in other inflammatory processes. The goal of this study was to determine whether second-trimester levels of four cytokines-interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6)...

Autism spectrum disorder is associated with diverse social, educational, and occupational challenges. To date, no standardized, internationally accepted tools exist to assess autism spectrum disorder-related functioning. World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health can serve as foundation for developing such tools. This study aimed to identify a...

We construct, for any given ` = 12 + N0, the second-order, linear PDEs which are invariant under the centrally extended Conformal Galilei Algebra. At the given `, two invariant equations in one time and ` + 12 space coordinates are obtained. The first equation possesses a continuum spectrum and generalizes the free Schrödinger equation (recovered for ` = 12) in 1 + 1 dimension. The second equat...
