AIM Physicians' inappropriate prescribing habits affect patients' lives both medically and financially. To avoid these unwanted situations, the World Health Organization defined the rational use of drugs (RUD) in 1985. This study aimed to investigate whether patients were as informed about their diagnosis and medication as anticipated and their knowledge about the RUD in general. METHODS A qu...

Background: Drilling is one of the most widely used process in orthopaedic surgical operation and the same drill bit is used a number of times in hospitals. Using the same drill bit a several times may be the cause of osteosynthesis and osteonecrosis. Methods: In the present work, the effect of repeated orthopaedic surgical twist drill bit on the tool wear, force, torque, temperature and chip m...

One of the most important subjects in relation of water resources quality in the many of river is the chemical composition of waters and conservation of water quality in the watershed. Geological formations in any region of the earth are the main surface and foundation that water flows on the bed and strata of formation, which in fact they affect their characteristics on water quality as positi...

Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm is one of the most well-known reinforcement learning methods. However, this method inefficient and unstable in practical applications. On other hand, bias variance Q estimation target function are sometimes difficult to control. This paper proposes a Regularly Updated (RUD) policy gradient for these problems. theoretically proves that procedur...

Background: Zayandeh-rud river is the most important in central regions of Iran and present study aimed to provide new insights into microplastics (MPs) pollution surface water sediments this river. Methods: Water sediment samples were collected July 2021 from 19 sampling sites along Organics matters removed by wet peroxide oxidation (WPO), MPs extracted floatation ZnCl2 -saturated salt filtrat...

Expression patterns of four candidate AREB/ABF genes and four DREB/CBF genes were evaluated in leaf and root tissues of five grape varieties ('Qalati', 'Kaj Angoor', 'Sabz Angoor', 'Siahe Zarghan', 'Bidane Safid') with differential response to drought stress. Among the AREB/ABF genes, AREB1 and ABF2 showed up-regulation in response to drought stress in leaf and root tissues of all varieties whi...

and call a set A provident if it is transitive and closed under all p-rud-rec functions with p a member of A. * If ζ is the least ordinal not in a provident set A, then ζ is indecomposable, that is, that the sum of two ordinals less than ζ is less than ζ. Conversely, if ζ is indecomposable, η > ζ and p ∈ Jζ , then the Jensen set Jη is is closed under all p-rud rec functions; in particular Jζ is...
