Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the relationships between anxiety sensitivity (AS), irritability and intrusive thoughts (IT) and sleep problems in patients diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Methods: The study population consisted of all patients with GAD who referred to counseling and psychological centers in Isfahan, Iran, in 2015. A total of 49 patients wer...

BACKGROUND It is not known how patients value continuity for different health problems. In addition, it is not clear how different types of patients value continuity. It has been argued, for example, that young and healthy individuals have different ideas about continuity from older people with chronic illnesses. More extensive exploration of patients' views and expectations on personal continu...

For an upper semi-continuous set-valued mapping from one topological space to another and for a lower semi-continuous function defined on the product of these spaces, Berge’s theorem states lower semi-continuity of the minimum of this function taken over the image sets. It assumes that the image sets are compact. For Hausdorff topological spaces, this paper extends Berge’s theorem to set-valued...

customers segmentation and analyzing their behavior at fast moving costumer goods (fmgs) industries which deal with a large number of customers with a variety of characteristics causes the marketing activities to be targeted and leads to effective communication with the customers. segmentation, a data mining approach, which leads to the discovery of similar groups of customers, is usually done ...

Abstract. A remarkable result due to Kou, Liu & Luo states that the condition of continuity for a dcpo can be split into quasi-continuity and meet-continuity. Their argument contained a gap, however, which is probably why the authors of the monograph Continuous Lattices and Domains used a different (and fairly sophisticated) sequence of lemmas in order to establish the result. In this note we s...

the purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of l-fuzzybilinear operators. we obtain a decomposition theorem for l-fuzzy bilinearoperators and then prove that a l-fuzzy bilinear operator is the same as apowerset operator for the variable-basis introduced by s.e.rodabaugh (1991).finally we discuss the continuity of l-fuzzy bilinear operators.

in this paper,the molecular geometry for three tautomers of uracil and four tautomers of cytosine has been analyzed. vibrational ir spectra of the tautomers were   investigated at hf and b3lyp level using the ab initio 6-31g* and lanl2dz basis sets from the program package gaussian 98 (a.7 public domain version). the physico-chemical and biochemical properties of uracil and cytosine are one of...

let  be a banach algebra. let  be linear mappings on . first we demonstrate a theorem concerning the continuity of double derivations; especially that all of -double derivations are continuous on semi-simple banach algebras, in certain case. afterwards we define a new vocabulary called “-higher double derivation” and present a relation between this subject and derivations and finally give some ...

Objectives: A literature review for the years 1984–2004 was performed to identify the determinants of the sick leave frequency and duration over that period and to establish the continuity in the character of those determinants. Materials and Methods: The review referred to national and international studies on the determinants of the frequency and duration of sick leave. Results: The review pr...
