This study aimed to investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being and sense of coherence in the mothers having children with chronic diseases. To this end, a controlled cross-sectional evaluation was conducted on 300 mothers, divided into two groups of 150 cases with healthy and chronically ill children in the city of Kerman, Iran, in 2016. The data were collected using the Platosin...

Knowledge of the orientation of horizontal in situ stresses is important to some areas of oil and gas field development plans. Borehole breakouts observed in image logs and drilling-induced fractures are the main parameters for the determination of the stresses’ directions in situ. In this work, the orientations of borehole breakouts were investigated as a function of depth in oil wells A and ...

Background India’s economic growth rate in recent years has been fairly impressive. But, it has been consistently failing to make considerable progress in achieving health related Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets. Lack of coherence between provisions and utilization becomes the face of the problem. Inadequacies in outreach, access and affordability coupled with escalating healthcare co...

We deal with the problem of finding such an orientation of a given graph that the largest number of edges leaving a vertex (called the outdegree of the orientation) is small. For any ε ∈ (0, 1) we show an Õ(|E(G)|/ε) time algorithm which finds an orientation of an input graph G with outdegree at most d(1 + ε)d∗e, where d∗ is the maximum density of a subgraph of G. It is known that the optimal v...

Abs-t-We study the problem of running full binary tree based algorithms on a hypercube with faulty nodes. The key to this problem is to devise a method for embedding a full binary tree into the faulty hypercube. Based on a novel embedding strategy, we present two results for embedding an (n-1)-tree (a full binary tree with 2"-l-1 nodes) into an n-cube (a hypercube with 2" nodes) with unit dilat...
