BACKGROUND This study was conducted to find out the age when tibiofemoral angle starts to be in valgus and reaches maximum angle. The differences of the angles between genders were also studied. METHODOLOGY This cross sectional study on tibiofemoral angle was conducted among 160 normal healthy children using clinical measurement method. The children between 2 18 months to 6 years old were ass...

We propose a novel method to generate scale-free networks with discretely tunable clustering coefficient in order to model real social networks. Recently several methods were introduced to generate networks with power law degree distribution. Most of them are based on preferential attachment, but in these networks the average clustering coefficient is low opposite to the real social networks. B...

The analysis of amino acids network is very important to studying the various physicochemical properties of amino acids. In this paper we consider the amino acid network based on mutation of the codons. To analyze the relative importance of the amino acids we have discussed different measures of centrality. The measure of centrality is a powerful tool of graph theory for ranking the vertices an...

The dynamic theory of inhomogeneous populations developed during the last decade predicts several essential new dynamic regimes applicable even to the wellknown, simple population models. We show that, in an inhomogeneous population with a distributed reproduction coefficient, the entire initial distribution of the coefficient should be used to investigate real population dynamics. In the gener...

This paper proposes an Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) coefficient test for detecting the presence of a unit root in autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models of unknown order. Although the limit distribution of the coefficient estimate depends on nuisance parameters, a simple transformation can be applied to eliminate the nuisance parameter asymptotically, providing an ADF coefficient test for...

Background & Aim: Increasing economic role of medicinal herbs in recent society and complexity of modern technologies in production (planting and harvesting), transportation, storage, processing, quality evaluation, distribution, marketing and consumption of these products require a thorough understanding of their physical properties. Coefficient of friction of plant on the various surfaces is ...
