this field study was conducted on 60 women who working in related centers of universities of medical sciences in tehran. data gathering tool was maternal separation anxiety questionnaire that designated by hock & et al. (1982).  findings revealed that majority of the research units (71.7%), have high degree of maternal separation anxiety. mean degree of maternal separation anxiety was (21.22±3....

The role of geometry on dispersive forces is investigated by calculating the energy between different spheroidal particles and planar surfaces, both with arbitrary dielectric properties. The energy is obtained in the non-retarded limit using a spectral representation formalism and calculating the interaction between the surface plasmons of the two macroscopic bodies. The energy is a power-law f...

This paper addresses the problem of the separation of rotational and internal motion. It introduces the concept of average angular velocity as the moment of inertia weighted average of particle angular velocities. It extends and elucidates the concept of Jellinek and Li (1989) of separation of the energy of overall rotation in an arbitrary (non-linear) N -particle system. It generalizes the so ...

This paper presents improved lower bounds for the total energy and the minimal inter-particle distance in minimal energy atom cluster problems with interactions given by a Morse potential. The methods use simple arguments and can be employed directly for Morse clusters, where the atom separation problem is difficult due to the finite energy at zero atom separation. The theoretical results are a...

We have studied the motion of a vortex-antivortex pair together with a single vortex in trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by numerically solving the twodimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and found that the path of the vortices depends on the initial separation distance and dissipation. This motion was periodic and it was found that sound waves appear due to the cyclical movement, whose...

The rational design and realization of revolutionary porous structures have been long-standing challenges in membrane science. We demonstrate a new class of amphiphilic polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) block copolymer (BCP)-based porous membranes featuring hierarchical multiscale hyperporous structures. The introduction of surface energy-modifying agents and the control of major phase se...

In photosynthesis, the energy of the Sun is absorbed by the light-harvesting antenna and transferred to the reaction center (RC) within several tens of picoseconds. In the RC the solar energy is converted into electrochemical energy by means of a trans-membrane charge separation. Photosynthetic purple bacteria employ a single reaction center. In contrast, in photosynthesis of plants, algae and ...

the extraction-separation of lanthanum and europium ions with bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (dehpa) in cyclohexane was improved by adding 12-crown-4 (12c4) to the aqueous phase as a masking agent. in the presence of this crown ether the extraction curve of lanthanum ions versus ph shifts to the higher ph region, while the curve is not influenced for the europium ions. consequently the separ...

nanofiltration-based separation processes have found diverse applications in industrial and environmentalproblems recently, due to several advantages such as lower energy requirement and elevated flux ratescompared with their reverse osmosis (ro) counterparts. several attempts have been made for modellingnf-based separation processes ranging from rigorous space-charge approaches to simpler irre...

The effectiveness of particle -liquid separation by ultrasonic radiation forces depends on the acoustic energy density distribution in the standing-wave field. The energy distribution in an ultrasonic particle-separation device was analyzed to assist continued optimization and design efforts. Measurements of the energy-density distribution in the liquid using a microscope-based imaging system w...
