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...

this paper presents a model for constrained multiobjective optimization of mixed-cropping planning. the decision challenges that are normally faced by farmers include what to plant, when to plant, where to plant and how much to plant in order to yield maximum output. consequently, the central objective of this work is to concurrently maximize net profit, maximize crop production and minimize pl...

in this work the effect of electrolytes on hydrate formation was investigated. to do so, a new model was used in predicting the hydrate formation conditions in presence of both single and mixed electrolyte solutions. the new model is based on the van der waals - platteeuw hydrate equation of state. in order to evaluate the values for the activity of water in electrolyte solutions the simplified...

Previous research has shown that the selective remembering of a speaker and the resulting silences can cause forgetting of related, but unmentioned information by a listener (Cuc, Koppel, & Hirst, 2007). Guided by more recent work that demonstrated both detrimental and beneficial effects of selective memory retrieval in individuals, the present research explored the effects of selective remembe...
