medical curriculum can exposed the medical students to a significant levels of mental pressure. therefore, the prevalence and incidence of psychiatric disorders including abnormal value of stress, depression and anxiety are higher in the schools of medicine. there are two major types of sources that can lead to stress and further mental problems in the medical students: 1. stresses related to t...

the molecular basis of metastatic potential of human breast carcinoma cells can be useful information to determine the practical implications in the diagnosis, determining prognosis and treatment of breast cancer. the aim of this study was to identify predictors of aggressive biological behavior and metastatic potential in breast carcinoma among a number of intrinsic biomarkers of tumor cells. ...

the prediction of the joint angle position, especially during tremor bursts, can be useful for detecting, tracking, and forecasting tremors. thus, this research proposes a new model for predicting the wrist joint position during rhythmic bursts and inter‑burst intervals. since a tremor is an approximately rhythmic and roughly sinusoidal movement, neural oscillators have been selected to underli...

in this paper standing balance control of a biped with toe-joint is presented. the model consists of an inverted pendulum as the upper body and the foot contains toe-joint. the biped is actuated by two torques at ankle-joint and toe-joint to regulate the upper body in upright position. to model the interaction between foot and the ground, configuration constraints are defined and utilized. to s...

background : underweight as a public health problem in young women is associated with nutritional deficiencies, menstrual irregularity, eating disorders, reduced fertility, etc. since resting metabolic rate (rmr) is a necessary compo-nent in the development of nutrition support therapy, therefore we determined the accuracy of commonly used pre-dictive equations against rmr measured by indirect ...

this article deals with the issues associated with developing a new design methodology for the nonlinear model-predictive control (mpc) of a chemical plant. a combination of multiple neural networks is selected and used to model a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (mimo) process with time delays.  an optimization procedure for a neural mpc algorithm based on this model is then developed. the p...

background: health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. social, economic and cultural factors are main effective factors on person’s health. as university students are the spiritual resources of each society and the future manufacturers of their own country, the present study aimed to determine the predictive factors f...

staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent causes of gastroenteritis worldwide. knowing the precise boundary for the growth/no growth interface of s. aureus and also determining the period of time needed for bacterial growth initiation is necessary for food safety risk assessment. this study was designed to examine the combined effects of temperature, acetic acid, inoculum level and nac...

a number of patients with inflammatory arthritis due to inadequate clinical or laboratory data do not fulfill diagnostic criteria for a clinical disease categories. these patients with initial diagnosis of undifferentiated arthritis (ua) may remit or progress to a definite well- defined condition such as rheumatoid arthritis (ra) or remain as ua with persistence of inflammatory arthritis. the m...

the efficiency of induction motors decreases at light loads. efficiency optimizer control systemsadjust the motor flux value to achieve the best efficiency in a wide range of load variations. reduced fluxoperation has some other benefits such as power factor improvement and torque ripple reduction. the latter isan important issue in a direct torque controlled induction motor drive. in this pape...
