BACKGROUND Physical inactivity is highly prevalent after stroke, increasing the risk of poor health outcomes including recurrent stroke. Tailoring of exercise programs to individual preferences can improve adherence, but no tools exist for this purpose in stroke. METHODS We identified potential questionnaire items for establishing exercise preferences via: (i) our preliminary Exercise Prefere...

this study was conducted to identify drought event and its emerging regions in markazi desert, iran with focus onsemnan province in a 30 years statistical period. in this research, 61 stations having adequate data selected and usedafter extracting annual statistic from monthly and daily data. standardized precipitation index values for each stationwere calculated and classified. the results hav...

aridity and drought are two inevitable occurrences of the climate change in the region. so, any kinds of planning and futurism, without regard to them, lead to failure. climate change cause drought phenomenon. the anomalies and irregularities in the precipitation mainly cause drought. fars province, one of the important centers of agriculture, population and industry in the country, with specif...

In magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT), currents are injected into an object, the resulting magnetic flux density is measured using MRI, and the conductivity distribution reconstructed using these MRI data. The relatively long acquisition times of conventional MREIT methods limit the signal averaging rate and are susceptible to motion artifacts. In this study, we reconstr...

Skin cancer, the most common type of cancer worldwide, has been linked to overexposure ultraviolet radiation (UVR) without protection. As skin is a preventable there pressing need adopt health-promoting behaviors early in life. The Sun Exposure and Protection Index (SEPI) an instrument for evaluating adults’ sun exposure habits propensity increase protection with widely accepted validity reliab...

drought is a natural hazard that have in arid and semiarid areas more frequency. so the study and identify synoptic patterns affecting this phenomenon seems to be necessary. by using peripheral circulation approach, drought periods during the 30-year (2011-1982) in the six synoptic stations provinces of kerman, yazd and isfahan, which have a long-term cooperative period were calculated with usi...

In this paper we study the problem of deciding the existence of a subgraph epimorphism between two graphs. Our interest in this variant of graph matching problem stems from the study of model reductions in systems biology, where large systems of biochemical reactions can be naturally represented by bipartite digraphs of species and reactions. In this setting, model reduction can be formalized a...

Skeletal muscle metabolism is impaired in disorders like diabetes mellitus or peripheral vascular disease. The skeletal muscle echo planar imaging (EPI) signal (S(EPI) ) and its relation to energy metabolism are still debated. Localised ³¹P MRS and S(EPI) data from gastrocnemius medialis of 19 healthy subjects were combined in one scanning session to study direct relationships between phosphocr...
