let e be an edge of a g connecting the vertices u and v. define two sets n1 (e | g) andn2(e |g) as n1(e | g)= {xv(g) d(x,u) d(x,v)} and n2(e | g)= {xv(g) d(x,v) d(x,u) }.thenumber of elements of n1(e | g) and n2(e | g) are denoted by n1(e | g) and n2(e | g) ,respectively. the szeged index of the graph g is defined as sz(g) ( ) ( ) 1 2 n e g n e g e e    . inthis paper we compute the sz...

Background: Animal models and observational studies have suggested a favorable role of vitamin D in male reproduction. However, randomized clinical trials investigating the effect of vitamin D supplementation on male fertility are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on semen quality, reproductive hormones, and anthropometric measurements in vi...

The flow field, velocity and pressure coefficient distribution of some 2-D ideal flows are presented. Conformal mapping is used to simulate two-dimensional ideal flow for a variety of complex internal and external configurations, based on the numerical integration of Schwarz-Christoffel transformation. The advantages of this method are simplicity and high accuracy. The method presented in this ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the correlation between trochlear dysplasia and the notch index. METHODS Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 95 knees in 54 male and 36 female patients aged 4 to 74 (mean, 28) years were reviewed by 2 musculoskeletal radiologists. Standard MRI sequences were used. Based on the Dejour classification of trochlear dysplasia, the knees were classified into normal or types A, B,...

recently, hua et al. defined a new topological index based on degrees and inverse ofdistances between all pairs of vertices. they named this new graph invariant as reciprocaldegree distance as 1{ , } ( ) ( ( ) ( ))[ ( , )]rdd(g) = u v v g d u  d v d u v , where the d(u,v) denotesthe distance between vertices u and v. in this paper, we compute this topological index forgrassmann graphs.

Background: Numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate the frequency of hypovitaminosis D in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and its association with FMS symptoms. This study aimed at assessing the effect of hypovitaminosis D on the symptoms and quality of life of patients with fibromyalgia. Methods: A total of 74 FMS patients with hypovitaminosis D were randomly assigned into ...

objective: when none of digital systems and scanners is accessible and it is essential to have digitized images of conventional radiographs, digital cameras can be used. the aim of this study was to investigate whether digital images obtained by different resolutions of a digital camera are matched to the original radiographs in evaluation of caries. methods: in this diagnostic accuracy in vitr...
