capacity of garden productions in iran is such that is accounted as a country that produces thirteen garden products in the world but despite excellent condition in iran for producing garden products, natural disasters damage production of fruits in the country therefore farmers incur a loss. pistachio tree has been in danger of destruction and dryness. thus, in order to reduce loss incurred on...

considering recent developments in earthquake engineering, researchers has detected different effects of earthquakes far and near from the fault. investigations that have been done in this area show that near fault earthquakes have shorter time period comparing far fault earthquakes and in the velocity of near fault earthquakes, there are one or more impacting pulses with a big domain and perio...

BACKGROUND Impact of high level of uric acid on stroke is still controversial. We conducted this study to investigate the relationship between acute ischemic non-embolic stroke and serum levels of uric acid. METHODS This was a case-control study on patients with acute ischemic non-embolic stroke in Rafsanjan, Iran. The control group consisted of normal persons who were similar to the case gro...

Background Islamic doctrine and related teachings play a seminal role in constructing the sexual performance of followers, women in particular. Objective The aim was to explore women's understandings of Islamic Shiite principles related to their sexuality. Materials and Methods In a qualitative content analysis approach, four individual interviews and seven focus groups conducted in Rafsanj...

The incidence of animal bites in the Islamic Republic of Iran has been increasing in recent years. In a descriptive study of 1542 patients referred to a health centre in Rafsanjan city from 2003 to 2005, the incidence of animal bites in the area was estimated as 180, 195 and 241 per 100 000 in 2003, 2004 and 2005 respectively. Of the patients, 74% were bitten by dogs, 23% by cats and 3% by othe...

this paper presents a new observer design methodology for a time varying actuator fault estimation. a new linear matrix inequality (lmi) design algorithm is developed to tackle the limitations (e.g. equality constraint and robustness problems) of the well known so called fast adaptive fault estimation observer (fafe). the fafe is capable of estimating a wide range of time-varying actuator fault...

the idea of this paper is designing an automatic fault detection system based on fuzzy logic, therefore two signals of pmsm in fault condition are analyzed for inter turn fault detection: current and torque. in this fault type there is some distortion in these signals, but it is not good enough to detecting with fuzzy logic solely, so with combination of wavelet transform and fcm a new method f...

Steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. Fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. This paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...
