In this paper, a size-dependent formulation for the Bernoulli-Euler beam is developed based on a new model of couple stress theory presented by Hadjesfandiari and Dargush. The constitutive equation obtained in this new model, consists of only one length scale parameter that is capable of capturing the micro-structural size effect in predicting the mechanical behavior of the structure. Having on...

in this paper, we prove that every metric line in the poincare ball model of hyperbolic geometry is exactly a classical line of itself. we also proved nonexistence of periodic lines in the poincare ball model of hyperbolic geometry.

background: growth failure in children less than five years old can lead to the serious complications such as increased mortality, learning difficulties or physical disability. the aim of this study was to investigate the non-organic factors affecting the growth trend in less than two years children living in zanjan, iran.   methods: this longitudinal study was conducted on a sample of 3566 chi...

we apply the two-sector production function developed by ram (1986) to estimate the threshold regression model for iran, concerning the effect of government size on economic growth. three government size indicators are used to find out the different threshold points. the results show a non-linear relationship of the armey curve in iran, in which the threshold effects corresponding to total gove...

background :growth retardation in children is a result of nutritional ignorance, inappropriate care, and inadequate monitoring of growth monitoring. this study was performed to assess the effect of mothers education program based on the precede model on the mean weight of children (6-12 months) at health centers in shiraz, fars province.   methods : this quasi experimental study was conducted o...

background:growth is one of the most important indices in child health. the best and most effective way to investigate child health is measuring the physical growth indices such as weight, height and head circumference. among these measures, weight growth is the simplest and the most effective way to determine child growth status. weight trend at a given age is the result of cumulative growth e...
