differential diagnosis of iron-deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia, two common causes of anemia, affects the treatment in pregnant women. to help the diagnosis, we have tried to asses the pure effect of gestation on diagnostic criteria, eliminating iron and folate deficiency. in a prospective study, 46 thalassemic women were given ferrous sulphate tablets and folate. some indices, cbc and hb...

this paper tries to explore and asses the political party activities in iran after the islamic revolution. it believes that that formation of political parties was a result of political modernization in iran after the revolution. the authors further examine this modernization based on huntington's theory about modernization including stages of faction creation (factionalism), polarization,...

Abstract In this paper, an improved ridge type estimator is introduced to overcome the effect of multi-collinearity in logistic regression. The proposed called a modified almost unbiased estimator. It obtained by combining and order asses superiority over existing estimators, theoretical comparisons based on mean square error scalar criterion are presented. A Monte Carlo simulation study carrie...

This paper describes a methodology to asses the uncertainty in seismic hazard estimates at particular sites. A variant of the bootstrap statistical method is used to combine the uncertainty due to earthquake catalog incompleteness, earthquake magnitude, and recurrence and attenuation models used. The uncertainty measure is provided in the form of a confidence interval. Comparisons of this metho...

Over the past few years the attacks on Software systems is increasing at an astonishing rate resulting in high revenue losses. Hence, Cyber/Digital forensics plays an important role by providing methods to acquire, asses, interpret, and use digital evidence to fetch conclusive details of cyber crime behavior. Recent trend in cyber crimes is the use of Anti-Forensic attacks to thwart the process...

Introduction / objectives Clostridium difficile is considered a leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea. Currently there are published case-reports of symptomatic Health-Care-Workers (HCW) and one report demonstrating transmission of C. diff from patient to HCW. Therefore, we initiated a prospective study to evaluate the prevalence of asymptomatic C. difficile stool carriage among healt...

Batie et al. [Chemistry and Biochemistiv, of "avoenzymes, 3, 543-556 (1991)] proposed a classification system for ring-hydroxylating oxygenases in which the oxygenases are grouped into three c)asses in terms of the number of constituent components and the nature of the redex centers. But in recent years, many ringhydroxylating oxygenases haye been newly identified and characterized, and found d...

Mathematical models are able to estimate the outcome of a patient to a certain ventilator setting. Employed in a medical decision support system (MDSS) this supports finding the optimum ventilation strategy for patients mechanically ventilated in ICU. Here, knowledge about current blood gas values like end-tidal CO2 (etCO2) is important to asses patient’s status. A model to predict etCO2 respon...

Recently, a simple scaling argument was introduced that allows us to map, with some precautions, Brownian and Monte Carlo dynamics for spherical particles. Here, we extend the scaling to study systems that have orientational degrees of freedom and carefully asses its validity over a wide region of temperature and density. Our work allows us to devise a Brownian Monte Carlo algorithm that produc...
