assumption of exchange rate overshooting has significant position in international macroeconomic discussion. this phenomenon is one of the abnormal behaviors of exchange rate that happen in short run. dornbusch (1976) shows that because speed of equilibrium prices is slow relative to asset markets and commodity prices are sticky in the short run, however, over time, commodity prices will rise a...

introduction: today, lasik surgery is one of the most common and effective procedures for correction of refractive errors. less than 1% of patients undergoing lasik operation suffer from serious and 3-5% suffers from mild complications. also, results of lasik in most centers are promising. with the recent inauguration of the lasik center of yazd, it was decided to evaluate the results and compl...

remote sensing can be used as a powerful tool by using data from different sources and combine them for vegetation and land cover classification. pasture type classification provides key information for analysis of agricultural productivity, carbon accounting and biodiversity. the first data set that used in this study landsat tm (thematic mapper) optical image and the second envisat asar radar...

to improve the accuracy of the activity quantification and the image quality in scintigraphy, scatter correction is a vital procedure. the aim of this study is to compare the accuracy in calculation of absorbed dose to patients following bone scan with 99m tc-marked diphosphonates ( 99m tc-mdp) by two different methods of background correction in conjugate view method. this study involved 22 pa...

purpose: to describe the etiology, outcomes and complications of levator resection procedure for correction of congenital and acquired blepharoptosis. methods: in a retrospective nonrandomized study, medical records of 136 patients with blepharoptosis who underwent levator resection at labbafinejad medical center from 1995 to 2005 were evaluated. results: of 136 patients undergoing levator rese...

The rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. For noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. In this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, Generaliz...

Objective(s): Use of a positron emission tomography (PET)/single-photonemission computed tomography (SPECT) system facilitates the simultaneousacquisition of images with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) andtechnetium (99mTc)-tetrofosmin. However, 18F has a short half-life, and 511keV Compton-scattered photons are detected in the 99mTc energy window.Therefore, in this study, we aimed to ...
