Background and objectives: Anal fissure is a painful wound in the anoderm and distal to dentate line, the chronic fissure leads to hypertrophy and fibrosis. In this study, we compared partial and total sphincterotomy in patients with chronic anal fissure. Methods: In this comparative cohort, 100 patients (52 female and 48 male )mean age 43.34 ± 15.28 year...

Purpose: Due to the paucity of the information regarding the lower limb biomechanics in slow speeds running as well as  concentration of the majority of previous studies in a single movement plane, aim of the present study was investigation on a kinetic based analysis of lower limb’ joints with increasing running speed. Methods: 28 runners asked to stay on the belt speed of treadmill that was ...

This paper develops methods of inference for nonparametric and semiparametric parameters de…ned by conditional moment inequalities and/or equalities. The parameters need not be identi…ed. Con…dence sets and tests are introduced. The correct uniform asymptotic size of these procedures is established. The false coverage probabilities and power of the CS’s and tests are established for …xed altern...

An efficient method is presented as a means of an approximate, analytic timedependent solution of the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) for the linear Langevin model subjected to additive and multiplicative noise. We have assumed that the dynamical distribution has the same structure as the exact stationary one and that its parameters are expressed in terms of first and second moments, whose equatio...

In below-knee amputee (bka) gait, many studies report a lower peak knee extension moment in the residual leg, compared to the intact leg and able-bodied gait. Belowknee amputees have a fully functioning knee in their residual leg, so they should be able to have a normal knee moment, which might reduce the high incidence rate of ostheoarthritis in the intact leg. I hypothesize that below-knee am...

among various reported membrane-based gas separation processes, the best explanation is generally achieved by the solution-diffusion model. the main factors in this model are the solubility and diffusivity of permeationcomponents through the membrane. the prediction of permeability and diffusivity in multicomponent gas permeation as well as the separation evaluation equilibrium and kinetic inte...

The present article focuses on the evaluation of a first-moment closure model applicable to film cooling flow and heat transfer computations. The present first-moment closure model consists of a higher level of turbulent heat flux modeling in which two additional transport equations for temperature variance kθ and its dissipation rate εθ are ...
