background & objectives: pap smear test is an effective screening method for diagnosis of cervical cancer. therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of individual and group trainings based on health belief model on belief and practice of bushehr women regarding pap smear test. methods: this controlled clinical trial study was performed on 150 women in three groups of; individual traini...

This thesis is about model checking testing models. These testing models are used during the automated testing of software systems and encode symbolic transition systems that are necessarily open. Open models need to be closed before they can be model checked by LTSmin. The open models are closed by the automatic generation and insertion of an environment process. They are then translated to DV...

Hover performance of a twin-rotor test model in terms of rotor overlap sweep, blade collective pitch, and blade tip speedwasexaminedexperimentally.The experimental setup consisted of two three-bladed rotors (tandem rotor configuration) with a diameter of1,220 mm and constant chord of 38 mm, giving a blade aspect ratio of 16.05. The blades were of a rectangular planform with NACA 0012 cross-sect...

the results of batch settling tests (bst) are used to investigate settling behavior of solids suspension, which contribute to sizing thickeners. conventional methods in analyzing bst on the basis of visual and graphical procedures lead to sub-optimally sized and selected thickeners. a computational approach based on quantitative analysis of bst can be beneficial. about 300 settling experiments ...

this paper studies thoroughly and deeply the results of about one hundred triaxial compression tests on thirty types of rockfill materials. the materials are categorized in accordance with their particles shape (angular / rounded) and gradation characteristics. the main tool of the study is the hyperbolic model developed by duncan and chang. the focus of the study is on the variations of deform...
