BACKGROUND One of the important health indicators in every society is maternal and neonatal health status. Provision of the best prenatal care can reduce mortality rate in these two susceptible groups. This study focused on the effect of maternal care log book on pregnancy outcome. METHODS This was a clinical trial and 180 samples were randomly selected from the mothers referred to private of...

This paper describes a new variant of the least-mean-squares (LMS) algorithm, with low computational complexity, for updating an adaptive lter. The reduction in complexity is obtained by using values of the input data and the output error, quantized to the nearest power of two, to compute the gradient. This eliminates the need for multipliers or shifters in the algorithm's update section. The q...

In the book Boolean Function Complexity by Stasys Jukna [7], two lower bound techniques for Tree-like Cutting Plane proofs (henceforth, “Tree-CP proofs”) using Karchmer-Widgerson type communication games (henceforth, “KW games”) are presented: The first, applicable to Tree-CP proofs with bounded coefficients, translates Ω(t) deterministic lower bounds on KW games to 2 logn) lower bounds on Tree...

they have additional information on their patients’ health and clinical statuses. The information could be acquired directly from patients or electronically from other providers through healthcare information exchanges (HIE). In the latter case, a common language or standard is necessary for sending and receiving digital forms of clinical data among healthcare organizations. On February 12, 200...

aim : the aim of this study was to determine whether there is relation between body mass index and symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease in our community using logit, probit and complementary log-log models. background : the most frequent statistical tool to address the relationship among a dichotomous response and other covariates is logistic regression. however logistic regression is f...
