background: in this study, we evaluated the quality of care and control of cardiovascular risk factors in newly diagnosed diabetic patients, identified during diabetes screening program, 1 year after diagnosis. methods: in this prospective study, 83 newly diagnosed diabetic patients identified at screening in isfahan, were studied. height, weight, blood pressure, plasma glucose, lipids, and hem...

Almost all applications containing indirect array addressing (irregular accesses) have a substantial number of direct array accesses (regular accesses) too. A conspicuous percentage of these direct array accesses usually require inter-processor communication for the applications to run on a distributed memory multicomputer. This study highlights how lack of a uniform representation and lack of ...

The Bounded Irregular Pyramid (BIP) is a hierarchical structure for image representation whose aim is to combine concepts from regular and irregular pyramids. The data structure is a combination of the simplest regular and irregular structures: the 2× 2/4 regular one and the simple graph representation. However, simple graphs only take into account adjacency relationships, being unable to corre...

Irregular to Completely Regular Meshing in Computer Graphics This talk will provide a quick overview of meshing structures used in computer graphics. Maximizing rendering performance is a key goal, and irregular meshes provide the greatest geometric fidelity for a given mesh complexity. Level-ofdetail representations like progressive meshes allow selective refinement of such meshes even in real...

Irregular buildings make up a large portion of  urban infrastructure. Presence of irregularities can be due to architectural and  user changes in building stories. Main objective of this article is evaluate seismic performance of structures with vertical irregularities. Seismic responses are obtained by enveloping peak inelastic responses resulting from pushover analyses according to provided p...

Although the age of acquisition of a language has an effect when learning a second language, the similarity between languages may also have a crucial role. The aim of the present study is to understand the influence of this latter factor in the acquisition of morphosyntactic information. With this purpose, two groups of highly proficient early Catalan-Spanish bilinguals were presented with a re...

The aim of this study was to examine whether the secreted fluid from the uterus influences the survival and fertilization capacity of fowl sperm in the hen oviduct. Hens with either regular uterine fluid secretion or irregular uterine fluid secretion were artificially inseminated through the transfer of sperm into the uterus. Twenty-four hours after  artificial insemination, 3 hens with regular...

according to development of displacement–performance based design, there are some studies on different structures which most of them are about regular plan structures. in this research has been tried to review the frame steel structures designed based on 2800 standard of iran to achieve the designed structures performance level to find how much function levels it covers in earth quake. to show ...
