The environmental concerns around energy, namely electricity, have driven attention to innovative approaches fostering consumers participation in the whole energy system management. Accordingly, concept of demand response provides incentives and signals no change normal consumption patterns increase use renewables, for example. problem is that such has a large amount uncertainty. This paper pro...

to determine whether the medical treatment of anal fissure can be an effective alternative for surgery methods: retrospectively, we randomly selected 190 patients being treated for anal fissure between the years 2005-2010 in 3 equal groups: group a: patients who received medical treatment with topical nitroglycerin, group b: patient treated with topical diltiazem, and group c: patients underwen...

abstract background: family psycho-education is one of the most effective interventions for preventing relapse in patients with schizophrenia. we evaluated the efficacy of a needs-assessment–based educational program in comparison with a current program (textbook based) in the treatment of schizophrenia. materials and methods: patients with schizophrenia and their families (n = 60) were allocat...

Program dDeconvolve was developed to provide deconvolution analysis of FMRI time series data This has two primary applications estimation of the system impulse response function and multiple linear regression analysis of time series data Given the input stimulus function s and the measured FMRI signal data program dDeconvolve rst estimates the impulse response function s the impulse response fu...

In this paper, the buckling behavior of a composite lattice cylindrical shell is studied and effects of rib defects on the distribution of stress field and buckling response of the shell is investigated. A three dimensional finite element buckling analysis of the lattice shell is carried out using ANSYS suit of program. Geometrical data and material properties of the shell are obtained from the...
