Let A be a finite nonempty set of integers. An asymptotic estimate of several dilates sum size was obtained by Bukh. The unique known exact bound concerns the sum |A + k ·A|, where k is a prime and |A| is large. In its full generality, this bound is due to Cilleruelo, Serra and the first author. Let k be an odd prime and assume that |A| > 8kk. A corollary to our main result states that |2 · A +...

The purpose of current survey is to determine the effectiveness of stress management training on the quality of life of divorced women who are under support of Baharestan township welfare organization. The used method for this survey was quasi-experimental by designing pre test-post test with evidence group. Statistical population of the study includes 587 divorced. The top thirty women in qual...

the types of transmission systems which today are available for long distance transmission of large numbers of telephone circuits are those for coaxial cables and radio links. the number of circuits is increased in both cases in step with development in technique. radio links have for several years been able to transmit 600 telephone circuits per system. and are now being designed for 960 circu...

Recently, Eisenbrand, Pach, Rothvoß, and Sopher studied the function M(m, n), which is the largest cardinality of a convexly independent subset of the Minkowski sum of some planar point sets P and Q with |P | = m and |Q| = n. They proved that M(m, n) = O(m2/3n2/3+m+n), and asked whether a superlinear lower bound exists for M(n, n). In this note, we show that their upper bound is the best possib...

Age may limit the effect of contextual interference, but the accurate effect of age on contextual interference is not completely identified. Therefore, the purpose of the study was the effect of contextual interference practice orders on acquisition and learning of badminton skills of 45 female students aged from 10 to 12. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three groups of bloc...

Band-notch characteristic has been of great interest recently to overcome the electromagnetic interference of Ultra-wideband systems (UWB) with other existing ones. In this paper, we present a novel microstrip-fed antenna with band rejection property appropriate for UWB applications. Band-notch characteristic has been achieved by adding a rectangular resonant element to the ground section. A pr...

  Background: Little is known about the influence of habitual participation in physical exercise and diet on upper-extremity physical function in older adults. To assess the relationship of general physical exercise and diet to upper-extremity physical function and pain intensity in older adults.   Methods: A cohort of 111 patients 50 or older completed a sociodemographic survey, the Rapid Asse...

in order to evaluate intercropping of soybean (glycine max l. cv. jk) with sweet basil (ocimum basilicum l.) and borage (borago officinalis l.) with weed interference, an experiment was performed in randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at a field located 10 km of shirvan during year of 2011. the treatments were included 75% soybean: 25%sweet basil, 50%soybe...
