in this study, displacement field around v-notches of a poly methyl metha crylate (pmma) specimen with tip cracks will be analyzed using digital image correlation technique. first intensity factor in combination with in-plane rigid body translations and rotation components will be determined by linear least squares fitting of the displacement field data to the corresponding relations among stre...

after mentioning the main differences between malaria control and malaria eradication, it is suggested that all anti–malaria activities in iran should be renamed as malaria control. applied research in malaria is identified into four categories covering the following subjects. 1- malaria parasites and anti-malaria drugs. 2- malaria vectors. 3- malaria in the community. 4- use of epidemiological...

Several studies have reported the usefulness of the field-in-field (FIF) technique in breast radiotherapy. However, the methods for the FIF technique used in these studies vary. These methods were classified into three categories. We simulated a radiotherapy plan with each method and analyzed the outcomes. In the first method, a pair of subfields was added to each main field: the single pair of...

Recent advancements within neuroscience confirm that the therapeutic alliance (i.e., the collaborative relationship between patient and therapist) plays a major role in the outcome of therapy, even more so than technique. A primary component of the alliance is the emotional bond that is formed and the regulation of feelings between patient and therapist. With an emphasis on the therapeutic rela...

Background: The goals of the present research were to investigate the rectal dose during four chosen techniques of cervical cancer radiotherapy and to examine how accurately the treatment planning represents dose measurements, and it’s practicality for routine use as well as, to determine the homogeneity of dose in tumor volume. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out using a Nepton 10...
