This is the first of a series of papers in which we describe social relationships among mentally disabled adults who worked in four sheltered workshops. In this paper, procedures for observing and interviewing clients and for interviewing staff members were described, and data on reliability and general levels of social behavior were reported. Reliability of social behavior was significant acro...

Background: Sand production is an important factor affecting reservoir exploitation. Excessive sand production affects the oil well life, causes the damage to the oil recovery device and brings serious hidden danger in the process of safety production. Objective: This paper presents a sand content computation model for the crude oil, which uses the power of sand production and Parseval theorem,...

background: faculty development programs have received considerable investment of resources from medical institutions, though the effect and output of them has been infrequently studied. this study was design to measure the effect of the mashhad university of medical sciences’ faculty development workshops. methods: three faculty development workshops on educational research were conducted to i...

Triceps skinfold thickness and body weight measures were obtained for 44 female and 40 male mentally retarded adults participating in a sheltered workshop setting. Subjects' relative weights and skinfold thicknesses were found to correlate reasonably well for females and males, rs = .88 and .59, respectively. Use of only height and weight tables for determining the presence of obesity, however,...

Electromagnetic fields from low frequency to millimeter wave are presenting lots of interests for biomedical applications. Among them is emerging the possibility to non-invasively investigate the living at various levels from tissue/organ to cellular, with the objective to early diagnose diseases and improve the efficiency of prognostic and therapies. This workshop will consequently address the...

The demand for ever higher data rates is driving research for broadband wireless communications to data rates of 100 Gbit/s and beyond. This workshop presents research work on 100 Gbit/s wireless communications that uses carrier frequencies beyond 200 GHz with bandwidths of 20 GHz or more and moderate spectral efficiencies. Various wireless system and component design aspects are covered includ...
