PURPOSE The aim of this study was to establish the level of correlation between the suicide item contained within the Core Symptom Index (CSI), and the presence of suicidal thoughts as assessed by the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and the Cornell Scale of Depression in Dementia (CSDD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy elderly residents in a long term care facility were incl...

We compute quadratically divergent supergravity one–loop effects on soft supersymmetry–breaking parameters and the μ term in generic hidden sector supergravity models. These effects can significantly modify the matching condition for soft parameters at the Planck scale and also provide several new sources of the μ term which are naturally of order the weak scale. We also discuss some phenomenol...

Much work has been done on the vertical velocity variation related amplitude correction term in the asymptotic trueamplitude one-way wave equation, but the lateral velocity variation related correction has not received much attention, even being excluded in some asymptotic true-amplitude oneway propagator formulations. Here we investigate the effects of different amplitude correction terms in t...

We develop a new efficient numerical methodology for automated simultaneous registration and intensity correction of images. The approach separates the intensity correction term from the images being registered in a regularized expression. Our formulation is consistent with the existing non-parametric image registration techniques, however, an extra additive intensity correction term is carried...

A correction to the Hamiltonian of the QCD string with quarks due to the rigidity term Abstract The action of the gluodynamics string, obtained in ref. 1 , is applied for derivation of the correction , arising due to the rigidity term, to the Hamiltonian of the quark-antiquark system, which was obtained in refs. 2,3. This correction contains additional contributions to the orbital momentum of t...

AIM The objective of this study was to determine whether regular combined exercise program, which consists strength, stretching and aerobic exercises and additional jumping training, improve balance, fall risk, quality of life and depression status of older people living in a residential care. METHODS A total of 168 residents who live in a long term care facility were screened. The trial bega...

In order to make conventional implicit algorithm to be applicable in large scale parallel computers , an interface prediction and correction of discontinuous finite element method is presented to solve time-dependent neutron transport equations under 2-D cylindrical geometry. Domain decomposition is adopted in the computational domain.The numerical experiments show that our parallel algorithm w...

abstract the objective of this study is to investigate the long run and short run interactions between agricultural trade liberalization and shares of the two sectors of agriculture and services in the total export and import products and services of iran during the years 1961-2008. to figure out interactions, the vector correction model was used. the ratio of the sum of imports and exports to ...
