OBJECTIVE To investigate the pelvic floor muscle strength of the women andevaluateits possible correlation with sexual dysfunction. METHODS In this cross-sectional type study, stratified clusters were used for the sampling method. Index of Female Sexual Function (IFSF) worksheetwere used for questions on sexual function. The pelvic floor muscle strength of subjects was assessed byperineometer...

—Ectomycorrhizal colonization and rooting characteristics were quantified in a mature ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) stand in the western Sierra Nevada. Root length totaled 3835.9 m ⋅ m–2 of forest floor surface area, with 96% consisting of the fine-root fraction. Total root dry weight and volume were 2230.4 g ⋅ m–2 and 5807.4 cm3 ⋅ m–2 of forest floor area, respectively, with...

OBJECTIVE Evaluation the efficiency of the telovelar approach for 4th ventricular lesions through identifying and preserving neurovascular structures. METHODS Forty cases of fourth ventricular tumours using the telovelar approach Results: It provides adequate exposure in all cases. The brainstem and posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) were early identified and preserved in all cases. ...

AIM To measure the linear cephalometric dimensions of anterior and posterior segments of the craniofacial complex sagittally, to establish ratios between different linear dimensions of sagittal segments and check for dimensional balance among the various segments in subjects with normal occlusion, pleasing profile and facial harmony. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Department of Orthodontics, S...

abstract tectonic, plays a key role in the evolution of morphology and can be distinguished with morphotectonic, rivers and structural parameters. an analysis of morphometric parameters illustrates that the development of them is associated with faults activities and rocks resistance. morphotectonic analysis also supplies seismotectonic setting for a region. for appropriate and survey tectonic ...

In this paper, we provide a novel approach to distinguish livable urban densities from crowded cities and describe how distinction has proved be critical in predicting COVID-19 contagion hotspots low- middle-income country. Urban population density—considered as the ratio of land area, without reference floor space consumption or other measures livability—can have large drawbacks. To address dr...

High-rise buildings are commonly built in densely populated countries or urban areas. A balanced floor construction cycle is critical for construction of the frame structures. The objectives in scheduling the floor cycle are to ensure smooth flows of resources and to optimise the use of formwork and other materials. The floor area is usually divided into zones to allow the labour force and form...

just like any other economic field, housing market has two basic foundations which are demand and supply. its obvious that disequilibrum between these foundations, will drasticaly affect the housing affordability and can also lead to wide slump in many markets. that’s why, policy makers usually intend to stimulat the supply by means of providing low intrest loans, low priced land, etc. in this ...

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a practical receiver for Rayleigh fadin?; channels. which does not exhibit the error floor found for conventional receivers in this channel. .-\ model of a general time and frequency-selective channel is developed, and the opt.imal receiver structure for a time-selective channel is derived for general signalling. The theoretical performance of a standard...
