OBJECTIVE To identify developmental trajectories of anxiety symptoms for adolescent girls and boys. Trajectories were compared with regard to early-adolescent risk factors and psychiatric outcomes during adolescence and in young adulthood. METHOD A community sample of 2,230 adolescents was assessed three times across a six-year interval (10-17 years). Symptom scores of anxiety were analyzed w...

the notions of quasi-prime submodules and developed  zariski topology was introduced by the present authors in cite{ah10}. in this paper we use these notions to define a scheme. for an $r$-module $m$, let $x:={qin qspec(m) mid (q:_r m)inspec(r)}$. it is proved that $(x, mathcal{o}_x)$ is a locally ringed space. we study the morphism of locally ringed spaces induced by $r$-homomorphism $mrightar...

BACKGROUND Although the endurance shuttle walk test (ESWT) has proven to be responsive to change in exercise capacity after pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for COPD, the minimally important difference (MID) has not yet been established. We aimed to establish the MID of the ESWT in patients with severe COPD and chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure following PR. METHODS Data were derived from ...

The principles of Ultrasonic Computed Tomography (UCT) are reviewed in this paper. The UCT is a powerful nondestructive technique in medicine and recently in industry to reveal an image of a slice of an object or body. The advantage of UCT over other conventional techniques in imaging is that a computed tomogram yields quantitative information about the section of interest. Experimental works o...

   A 36-year-old woman with right upper quadrant abdominal pain since three months previously and no other significant medical history was referred for evaluation of an abdominal mass. Upon clinical examination, a large palpable mass in the mid -upper abdominal area was noted. Abdominal ultrasound and spiral CT-scan showed a large hepatic mass in the left liver lobe. ...

economic recession is considered as a repeatable and constant phenomenon in capitalist economy. countries which experienced rapid economic growth have inevitably applied a balancing program after that. generally, whenever industrial, financial and commercial developments occurred in a rapid growth, the reverse and changing processes would appear. consequently, they will affect the financial and...

We present a new technique suitable for generating broadband phase- and frequency-locked frequency combs in the mid-infrared. Our source is based on a degenerate optical parametric oscillator (OPO) which rigorously both down-converts and augments the spectrum of a pump frequency comb provided by a commercial mode-locked near-IR laser. Low intracavity dispersion, combined with extensive cross-mi...
