Cellular automata can be used to design high-performance natural solvers on parallel computers. This paper describes the development of applications using CARPET, a high-level programming language based on the biology-inspired cellular automata theory. CARPET is a programming language designed for supporting the development of parallel high-performance software abstracting from the parallel arc...

the cost of drying carpet which is done toward the end of the manufacturing process, is quite high. the carpet industry has been using convection drying for many years. little attention has been given to quantifying the effect of microwave power during the drying of carpet. an experimental system was developed whereby air was introduced into the cavity of a domestic microwave oven. the results ...

ninteen samples of dust from wool and carpet-weaving places around tabriz were collected. dust mites of wool and carpet-weaving places were separated and identified based on morphological characteristics. genus and species of mites per gram of dusts, were determined. the results showed that dominant population of mites were:dermatophagoides farinae (64%), dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (21.5%),...

background: carpet weaving is an occupation that requires sufficient and appropriate lighting. the lighting in carpet weaving workshops affects the productivity and the physical and mental health of workers. therefore, the evaluation of the illumination and the identification of work stations requiring lighting modifications will be helpful in promotion of the health and safety of workers in ca...

A set of growth arrest-specific (gas) genes negatively regulated by serum has been identified. We report the analysis of the expression of one of them (gas-i) in transformed cells. We found a down regulation of gas-I expression in NIH 3T3 cells transfected in vitro with an activated Ha-ras oncogene. In five chemically-induced mouse tumours grown in vivo the amounts of gas-I mRNA were largely di...

3 Paragraph 4, lines 3 and 4, p. 2911: For the following sentence citing reference [60], units should be in μg/(m h); not in mg/(m h). On an area basis, caulking has the highest emission rate, 310 μg m h, among materials tested, followed by carpet pads (installed underneath carpets), 2.1 to 9.9 μg m h. Emission rates fell below 1 μg m h for other materials tested, which included solid and engin...

BACKGROUND Baecke Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire (BHPAQ) has widely been employed in clinical and laboratorial studies as a tool for measuring subjects' physical activities. But, the reliability and validity of this questionnaire have not been investigated among Persian speakers. OBJECTIVES Therefore, the aim of the current study was examining the reliability and validity of the Per...

Oxford Elbow Score (OES) is a patient-reported questionnaire used to assess outcomes after elbow surgery. The aim of this study was to validate and adapt the OES into Persian language. After forward-backward translation of the OES into Persian, a total number of 92 patients after elbow surgeries completed the Persian OES along with the Persian DASH and SF-36. To assess test-retest reliability, ...
