abstract background: the number of women who select cesarean section due to fear of childbirth has increased. role play education seems to be a helpful method to remove or reduce the fear of childbirth. therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of role play education on primiparous women’s fear of natural delivery and their decision on the mode of delivery. materials and methods: in...

A non-empty set X of a carrier A of an algebra A is called Q-independent if the equality of two term functions f and g of the algebra A on any finite system of elements a1, a2, . . . , an of X implies f(p(a1), p(a2), . . . , p(an)) = g(p(a1), p(a2), . . . , p(an)) for any mapping p ∈ Q. An algebra B is a retract of A if B is the image of a retraction (i.e. of an idempotent endomorphism of B). W...

trichoderma is a genus of asexually reproducing fungi that is present in all types of soils. trichoderma species have been recognized as antagonists of soil-borne and foliage pathogens and as efficient decomposers of cellulosic waste materials. moreover, they have the ability to increase plant growth and induce plant resistance. along with mycoparasitism, antibiotics and competition, induced re...

EEMD Algorithm is usually applied in noise reduction of rolling bearing signal because of its powerful ability in de-noising. But misjudgment in selecting sensitive IMF exists, it results in the incomplete processing of noise reduction. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved EEMD algorithm. This algorithm adopts Cloud Similarity Measurement in selecting the sensitive in...

Using an experiment with material incentives, this paper investigates the violation of composite dominance relationships, viz. absolute Pareto dominance, Pareto rank dominance, transfer dominance, Lorenz dominance, and generalized Lorenz dominance. Moreover, we test tail independence. The experiment consists of two treatments, a self–concern mode (in which each subject expects payoffs according...

Common-mode choke (CMC) plays an important role in suppressing the leakage current produced during operation of pulse width modulation (PWM) inverters. However, when common-mode path exhibits a large series stray capacitance, particularly capacitance by long shielded cables, CMC core reaches magnetic saturation. This paper presents technique selecting suitable carrier frequency for inverter to ...
