The way the parents build their relationships with their children is the strongest factor affecting family interaction patterns. This study aimed to examine the role of maternal parenting styles in predicting oppositional defiant, behavior, conduct, mood, and separation anxiety disorders among elementary school students. In this research, 86 children among all those referring to the counseling ...

Broomcorn seed (Sorghum vulgare) was used as raw material for bioethanol production. Optimum conditions were obtained from response surface method. Broomcorn seed flour (45 g/l) was treated by alkaline treatment and dual enzymatic hydrolysis (0.7 g/l of α- amylase and 0.42 g/l of amyloglucosidase). The hydrolyzed total sugar of 25.5 g/L was used in conventional bioethanol production (8.1 g/l) u...

We examine the implications of portfolio theory for the cross-sectional behavior of equity trading volume. Two-fund separation theorems suggest a natural definition for trading activity: share turnover. If two-fund separation holds, share turnover must be identical for all securities. If (K + 1)-fund separation holds, we show that turnover satisfies an approximately linear K-factor structure. T...

In a heterogeneous electrolyte system of a strongly basic anion exchanger and solutions of NaBF4 or NaClC>4 we established the influence of the nature and concentration of the eluent in chromatographic experiments on chlorine isotope separation. Results show that when the electrolyte concentration is increased the degree of isotope separation decreases. With NaBF4 the separation factor is great...

this field study was conducted on 60 women who working in related centers of universities of medical sciences in tehran. data gathering tool was maternal separation anxiety questionnaire that designated by hock & et al. (1982).  findings revealed that majority of the research units (71.7%), have high degree of maternal separation anxiety. mean degree of maternal separation anxiety was (21.22±3....

The engineering of microbial strains for the production of small molecules of biotechnological interest is a time-consuming, laborious and expensive process. This can be mostly attributed to the fact that good producers cannot be readily obtained by high-throughput screening approaches since increased product formation usually does not confer a clear phenotype to producing strain variants. Rece...

We present a new technique for time series analysis based on dynamic probabilistic networks. In this approach, the observed data are modeled in terms of unobserved, mutually independent factors, as in the recently introduced technique of Independent Factor Analysis (IFA). However, unlike in IFA, the factors are not i.i.d.; each factor has its own temporal statistical characteristics. We derive ...

Separation of propylene-propane mixture using immobilized liquid membrane was investigated. The effect of transmembrane pressure and carrier concentration on membrane separation performance was studied. It was observed that for 30:70 (vol. %) propylene-propane mixture, at pressure of 120kPa and carrier concentration of 20wt. %, a separation factor of 474 was obtained. Keywords—Facilitated Trans...

The atomistic model of amorphous silicon-carbide membrane that was developed in Parts I and II of this series is utilized in nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study transport and separation of equimolar gaseous mixtures H2/CO2 and H2/CH4 in the membrane at high temperatures. We simulated membranes with up to about 39 nm in thickness, containing up to 170,000 atoms, and up to...
