Background: The present study was conducted to compare the efficiency of hydronephrosis index (HI) with those of pelvic anteroposterior (AP) diameter and parenchymal thickness in the diagnosis of fetal hydronephrosis in the prenatal period, as well as 1, 6, and 12 months after birth. Methods: This study was conducted on pregnant women with the pregnancy age of > 30 weeks whose fetus was suspect...

روش‌های مختلفی برای زمان­‌سنجی امواج مشابه و با تحریک یکسان ارایه شده است که توجه به شرایط موج می‌­توان بهترین گزینه را انتخاب کرد. لذا هدف ما یافتن روش زمان‌سنجی جهت خروجی از حسگر UFSD زیرا می­‌خواستیم این حسگرها آشکارسازی پروتون‌ها در سیستم پروتون درمانی برای­ درمان ­تومورهای سرطانی استفاده کنیم. راستا مقایسه مختلف مثل تفکیک‌کننده کسر ثابت (CFD)، همبستگی متقابل(CC) زمان بیش آستانه (TOT)با داد...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Sleep apnea (SA) may promote hearing impairment (HI) through ischemia and inflammation of the cochlea. Our objective was to assess an independent association between SA and HI in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) participants. METHODS We used data from the HCHS/SOL, a multicenter population-based study of self- identifying Hispanic/Latinos 18- to ...

The term Hi-Tech Hi Touch was coined by John Naisbitt in the early 80’s. Since then his concept about the conscious integration of technology into our lives became even more relevant. After the general approach of Hi-Tech Hi-Touch is presented, the rational for applying it specifically to wearable computing is discussed. It is suggested that careful consideration of the human, social and organi...

Heterotheca inuloides Cass. (Asteraceae) is used in the traditional medicine of Mexico. The aqueous extract obtained from the flowers of H. inuloides was assessed for anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan-induced edema test. At 100 mg/kg, i.p, it produced 29% inhibition of inflammation. Ethyl ether (HI-1), butanol (HI-2) and aqueous fraction (HI-3) were obtained from the aqueous extract. Th...

Purpose. We seek to correlate conventional hydronephrosis (HN) grade and hydronephrosis index (HI). Methods. We examined 1207 hydronephrotic kidneys by ultrasound. HN was classified by Society of Fetal Urology guidelines. HN was then gauged using HI, a reproducible, standardized, and dimensionless measurement of renal area. We then calculated average HI for each HN grade. Results. Comparing HI ...

پژوهش حاضر به بررسی این مسأله می‌پردازد که چگونه نوعِ متد آموزشی می‌تواند بر میزان اضطراب زبانی دانشجویان زبان‌های خارجی تأثیر بگذارد. یک گروه 40 نفره از دختر و پسر در سطح پیش‌دانشگاهی به‌عنوان جامعه آماری انتخاب شدند. آموزش زبان فرانسه دو هفته‌ی اول، طریق گرامر-ترجمه انجام شد. پایان هفته تست تعیین مقیاس کلاس خارجی: FLCAS، بعمل آمد. دوم نوع رویکرد کنشی تغییر یافت. پس مجدداً فراگیران نتایج حاصله ن...

H Harvest index (HI), ratio of seed yield to aboveground dry matter, is a very important parameter for estimating seed yield in several crop models. In this study, the importance, definition, variability and estimation methods of HI in crop models were discussed. HI estimation methods are categorized into two groups including: (i) complex methods that estimate HI from the beginning of seed gro...
