Introduction: Recent studies on Iranian mortality clearly underscore the role of cardiovascular diseases, unintentional injuries, and cancers as three leading causes of reduced life expectancy during the last three decades. The purpose of current study is to measure the effect of these causes on 2010 life table for Iran. Materials & Method:The number of registered death by age and sex and ...

This paper describes a table-based behavioral modeling method and an efficient transient simulation method for oversampled MEMS systems. A system is represented by a set of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) numerically described by table-based macromodels. Cubic spline interpolation is used to evaluate the model functions. The instant settling approximation and the explicit ODE sol...

In recent years, several studies pointed out that anthropogenic emission sources in China which significantly contribute to the PM2.5 mass burden was an important cause of particulate pollution South Korea. However, most generally focused upon a single event. It is rare see comprehensive research captures those features prone interannual variations concerning transboundary pollutant contributio...

under the table or informal payments in several middle and low income countries is a serious impediment to health care reform. these payments are effectively a form of systemic corruption. this report shows the efforts of a patient who seek health care for his ankle while being requested to pay under the table in hospital and private clinic. the data were collected by interview and surveying pa...

What is a hybrid operating system? The word “hybrid” originally referred to the result of interbreeding between two animals or plants of different species, but it has more recently been used to mean the combination of two different methods to achieve higher performance, as represented by hybrid cars. The hybrid operating room discussed in this paper can be described simply as the combination of...

Several recent works have focused on harvesting HTML tables from the Web and recovering their semantics [Cafarella et al., 2008a; Elmeleegy et al., 2009; Limaye et al., 2010; Venetis et al., 2011]. As a result, hundreds of millions of high quality structured data tables can now be explored by the users. In this paper, we argue that those efforts only scratch the surface of the true value of str...
