conclusions the number of subjects with cp proved it as a prevalent problem in the study population. furthermore, characteristics and associations of those experiencing cp demonstrated that it might have significant negative health and psychosocial outcomes in this group. the problem was found significant enough to consider special health programs to prevent and manage cp in urban population of...

background and purpose: the 2-chlorophenol (2-cp) and 4-chlorophenol (4-cp) are phenolic compounds which may have adverse effects on human and environment. therefore, removing these compounds from water and wastewater is necessary. this study aims to analyze 2-cp and 4-cp removal by using azolla filiculoides biomass. materials & methods: azolla biomass was sun dried, crushed and sieved to parti...

Let F be a distribution function which is supported on an interval and possesses a smooth density, and let F̂n denote the empirical distribution of a random sample of size n from F . We study the asymptotics of the Mallows distance between F̂n and F . Four different types of limiting result are identified, depending on the tail behaviour of a two-sided hazard function, and examples of each type a...

We present the design and implementation of bounded-length sequence (BLS) variables for a CP solver. The domain of a BLS variable is represented as the combination of a set of candidate lengths and a sequence of sets of candidate characters. We show how this representation, together with requirements imposed by propagators, affects the implementation of BLS variables for a copying CP solver, mo...
