Objectives: The main purpose of this research was to study the effectiveness of positive thinking skills training on increasing happiness of male adolescents with physical-mobility disability. Methods: In this study an experimental research design with pre-test, post-test, and control group is used. All adolescents (boys) having disabled physical mobility from all the high schools in southern ...

Controlling data usage in a crisis scenario is a particularly acute issue due to the sensitive nature of the data being distributed. Typical access control mechanisms rely on a centralised architecture where access policies are stored and evaluated. However, such architecture is not practical in a crisis scenario due to the absence or the impossibility of using a wide-area communication infrast...

This position paper explores privacy issues created by mobile and wireless Internet access. We consider the information about the users identity, location, and the serviced accessed that is necessarily or unnecessarily revealed observers, including the access network, intermediaries within the Internet, and the peer endpoints. In particular, we are interested in data that can be collected from ...

Dynamic changes in chromatin structure underlie much of transcriptional control in the eukaryotic nucleus. In the hope of understanding how these are effected, attention has focused on the molecular machines that reorganize chromatin. The best-defined of these machines contain members of the SWI2/SNF2 superfamily of ATPases. These enzymes use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to destabilize chromati...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to determine the functional mobility and balance in the elders after total hip arthroplasty in healthy coparison to elders. methods & materials: the current cross-sectional study was done on 20 patients (70.9±4.2) with hip osteoarthritis 6 months after total hip arthroplasty and 20 healthy subjects (73±5.7) as control group. patient group was assigned w...

A control system to aid mobility is presented that is intended to assist living independently and that provides physical guidance. The system has two levels: a human machine interface and an adaptive shared controller.
