background: it is the responsibility of each occupational therapist to always act ethically and professionally in a clinical setting. however, there is little information available concerning the factors influencing ethical behavior of occupational therapists at work. since no study has been conducted in iran on this topic, this qualitative study aimed to identify the factors influencing ethica...

soil water content is one of the most important parameters for estimating irrigation frequency and providing the plant’s water requirement. since measurement of soil water content is both expensive and time consuming, water movement models are used to estimate these values. in this study, leachw model was used to estimate soil water content for two “dry” (20-29 aug) and “wet” (1-6 jul) periods ...

background & aim : stress is a common phenomenon in nursing profession, but novice nurses usually experience more stress. this stress can result in job dissatisfaction and quitting the occupation. this study aimed to explore the novice nurses’ experience of stress at the beginning of their clinical practice. methods & materials : this study was conducted using a qualitative content analysis. th...

Higher inductive types (HITs) in Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT) allow the definition of datatypes which have constructors for equalities over the defined type. HITs generalise quotient types, and allow to define types which are not sets in the sense of HoTT (i.e. do not satisfy uniqueness of equality proofs) such as spheres, suspensions and the torus. However, there are also interesting uses of HI...

We develop the Kernel Multitask Latent Analysis (KMLA) method for modeling many-to-many relationships between inputs and responses, and show how it can be applied to inductive transfer problems in bioseparations. KMLA performs dimensionality reduction targeted towards a multitask loss function much like Kernel Partial Least Squares (KPLS). KPLS is limited to least squares multiple regression wh...

The geometric analysis of a minimal hypersurface H within some Riemannian manifold (M, g) with second fundamental form A usually involves the scalar quantity |A|2 = sum of squared principal curvatures. A few classical examples are seen from Simons type inequalities like: ∆H |A|2 ≥ −C · (1 + |A|2)2 or the stability condition (valid in particular for area minimizers): 0 ≤ Area(f) = ∫ H |∇Hf |2 − ...
