Abstract Abstract Background: Availability and affordability of medicines are crucial to achieving success in prevention programs, particularly in developing countries. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the availability and affordability of cardiovascular medicines for secondary prevention in Tehran province of Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Tehran pro...

This paper focuses an implementing issue of the sum-product algorithm on factor graphs (FGSPA) in a general system. The overall goal is to propose a message representation and corresponding update rules for both discretely and continuously valued variables with an acceptable exactness-complexity trade-off. We propose the update rules for a generic class of linear message representations with or...

This paper focuses an implementing issue of the sum-product algorithm on factor graphs (FG-SPA) for a general system. The goal is to propose a message representation and corresponding update rules for both discretely and continuously valued variables with an acceptable exactness-complexity tradeoff. We propose the update rules for a generic class of linear message representations with orthogona...

this study investigated the relative effects of deductive and inductive form-focused instruction (ffi) on the acquisition of 4 non-generic definite article uses(cultural, situational, structural, and textual) as assessed by explicit and implicit outcome measures. the tests utilized to assess efl learners' acquisition of definite article uses were timed and untimed grammaticality judgment t...

The sparse representation based classification algorithm has been used to solve the problem of human face recognition, but the image database is restricted to human frontal faces with only slight illumination and expression changes. This paper applies the sparse representation based algorithm to the problem of generic image classification, with a certain degree of intra-class variations and bac...

In image retrieval most of the existing visual content based representation methods are usually application dependent or non robust, making them not suitable for generic applications. These representation methods use visual contents such as colour, texture, shape, size etc. Human image recognition is largely based on shape, thus making it very appealing for image representation algorithms in co...

We study a two-boundary extension of the Temperley-Lieb algebra which has recently arisen in statistical mechanics. This algebra lies in a quotient of the affine Hecke algebra of type C and has a natural diagrammatic representation. The algebra has three parameters and, for generic values of these, we determine its representation theory. We use the action of the centre of the affine Hecke algeb...

. This paper presents a library for the run-time construction and specialisation of generic or polytypic functions. This library utilises the type information that is available in dynamics to implement generic functions on their values. The library closely follows the static generic framework, both in its use and in its implementation. It can dynamically construct generic operations ranging fro...

Server pages (also called dynamic pages) render a generic web page into many similar ones. The technique is commonly used for implementing web application user interfaces (UIs). Yet our previous study found a high rate of repetitions (also called ‘clones’) in web applications, particularly in UIs. The finding raised the question as to why such repetitions had not been averted with the use of se...

Genre analysis as an area of great concern in recent decades, involves the observation of linguistic features used by a determined discourse community. The research article (RA) is one of the most widely researched genres in academic writing which is realized through some rhetorical moves and discursive steps to achieve a communicative purpose. This study aimed at proposing a model of generic p...
