While the rst part of the paper dealt with the problem of approximatinga prescribed frequency response by nonrecursive linear-phase and nonlinear-phase lters, in this part the three other central design problems for such lters in the frequency domain are studied in regard to the existence of solutions and the convergence of the approximation errors. These are the problems of approximatinga magn...

Background: Due to the unpredictable nature of disasters, it is crucial to anticipate, define and divide tasks as preparedness activities to respond efficiently. This is because the organizations involved in, becoming aware of their own tasks and other organizations’ tasks. The aim of this study was to explore discrepancies in the viewpoints of members of Kerman University of medical sciences a...

Methanolic extract of Solanum trilobatum Linn. (MEST) belonging to the family of Solanacea was evaluated by hot plate and acetic acid induced writhing methods to assess its analgesic activity. The extract was also evaluated for its anti-inflammatory activity by subjecting into carrageenan, and cotton pellet induced granuloma tests for its effect on acute and chronic phase inflammation models in...

Background and Objectives: Whey is a product of cheese production process that has more than half the nutrients of milk. Production of whey-based beverages, is one of the most efficient mechanisms for entering these products into the human food chain butits production is facing challenges. Protein sedimentation as a result of the thermal processing and the appealing sensory properties of the be...

background: gastric cancer is an important health problem across the world. chemotherapy in combination with local treatment is standard treatment for locally advanced gastroesophageal cancers. the purpose of this investigation was evaluation of response and tolerability to neoadjuvant eox regimen in locoregionally advanced gastric cancer. materials and methods: patients with locoregionally adv...

An alternative proof is presented for the necessary conditions for generalized linear phase in causal FIR systems, which appears to be somewhat crisper and more straightforward than the existing proofs available in the literature.

Much recent empirical evidence shows that community structure is ubiquitous in the real-world networks. In this paper we propose a growth model to create scale-free networks with the tunable strength (noted by Q ) of community structure and investigate the influence of community strength upon the collective synchronization induced by Susceptive-Infected-Recovery-Susceptive (SIRS) epidemiologica...

PURPOSE: Survey-based research has emerged as a primary method of evaluating the impact and outcomes of breast reconstruction in an era of patient centered care. Despite increased utilization of patient reported outcomes measures, such as the BREAST-Q surveys, there are few studies assessing non-response among study participants. Differential non-response to surveys threatens the generalizabili...
