asthma is the major chronic respiratory inflammatory disease in all ages. the validity and predictability of revised jones morbidity index (jmi) as a simple and practical tool for asthma evaluation morbidity has not yet been tested in iran. this study aimed to evaluate the predictability and validity of a revised jmi in northern iran. as a one-year follow up study, 210 adult asthmatic patients ...

rohrer's ponderal index in newborns (birth weight * 100/height3) has been used as an indicator of fetal growth status, especially to assess asymmetrical intrauterine growth retardation. low ponderal index or disproportionate intrauterine growth retardation has higher neonatal morbidity and there are some specific guidelines in intrauterine growth retarded infants to control some of their p...

At the end of every year the Value Line (VL) Corporation publishes its forecasts of the Dow Jones Index and its probable ranges for the coming three years using a three explanatory variable multiple regression model that we call the Value Line Dow Jones (VL-DJ) model. The model is a static time series model. Therefore, forecasts of the Dow Jones Index rely on forecasts of the independent variab...

In this paper we consider a completely positive map τ = (τ t , t ≥ 0) with a faithful normal invariant state φ on a type-II 1 factor A 0 and propose an index theory. We achieve this via a more general Kolmogorov's type of construction for stationary Markov processes which naturally associate a nested isomorphic von-Neumann algebras. In particular this construction generalizes well known Jones c...
