conclusions the results confirm the available literature data, while noting that self-harming is a preponderantly male behavior. the results also signal the need to create opportunities to instruct teachers to combat the resistances and stereotypes of psychological distress. results data analysis confirms an association between self- cutting and alcohol use, sexual harassments, school dropout, ...

genetic parameters direct and maternal in fars native flows using the bayesian statistical approach, was estimation with consider body weight at a day of age (bw1), body weight at eight weeks of age (bw8), body weight at 12 weeks of age (bw12), age at sexual maturity (asm), egg number (egp) and mean egg weight during 28th, 30th and 32nd week ages (av283032) fars native flows. genetic parameters...

Many people experience vibration effects on whole-body throughout their lives frequently. Vibrating energy absorbed is exposed all-body caused with vibration hazard in the vertically on body and biodynamic responses from body in speed 2.37 to 5.14 m/s could captivate with car seat on user body, so the vibration energy transferred to a seated people body. In this paper, the human body is modeled...

Wall displacements and ground pressure acting on the lining of a tunnel increase with time. These time-dependent deformations are both due to face advance effect and to the time-dependent behavior of the rock mass.  Viscoelastic materials exhibit both viscous and elastic behaviors. Thorough this study, the effect of different linear viscoelastic models including Maxwell, Kelvin and Kelvin-Voigt...

the aim of the present study was to determine the effects of adenotonsillectomy on height, weight and body mass index (bmi) in children under 12 years old, with or without airway obstruction and evaluation of the risk of overweight in them. in this case-control study, 120 children with the age of 2-12 years old were studied; 60 children as case group who underwent adenotonsillectomy and 60 heal...

In this paper we present a novel approach for human Body configuration based on the Silhouette. We propose to address this problem under the Bayesian framework. We use an effective Model based MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) method to solve the configuration problem, in which the best configuration could be defined as MAP (maximize a posteriori probability) in Bayesian model. This model based M...

We present a novel parallel 3-D model of tumor proliferation. To simulate the growth dynamics of normal, cancerous and vascular tissues we use a hybrid method integrating cellular automata (CA) with N-body off-grid paradigm, so called, complex automata model (CxA). The interacting particles with dynamically evolving attributes may represent a single cell (cancerous or normal) or a fragment of b...

This paper presents the simplest walking model with an upper body. The model is a passive dynamic walker, i.e. it walks down a slope without motor input or control. The upper body is confined to the midway angle of the two legs. With this kinematic constraint, the model has only two degrees of freedom. The model achieves surprisingly successful walking results: it can handle disturbances of 8% ...

A new method is introduced to study three-body clusters. Triangular configurations with D 3h point-group symmetry are analyzed. The spectrum, transition form factors and B(Eλ) values of 12 C are investigated. It is concluded that the low-lying spectrum of 12 C can be described by three alpha-particles at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, but not as a rigid structure. Large rotation-vibra...
