Introduction: Patients with Cystic Fibrosis have increased risk of malnutrition. Early detection of nutritional deterioration enables prompt intervention and correction. The aims of this project were to: - Define the nutritional status of CF patients in Iran and New Zealand -    Compare and contrast the MacDonald Nutritional Screening tool  with the Australasian guidelines for Nutrition in Cyst...

The method of pseudo-static analysis has been widely used to perform seismic slope stability, in which a coefficient is represent the earthquake shaking effect. However, it important but difficult select magnitude coefficients, are inevitably subjected different levels uncertainties. This paper aimed study influences uncertainties on stability from perspective probabilistic sensitivity analysis...

the goal of this study was to evaluate word's in–service training of takfa project (development and use of information and communication technology plan) via ministry of jihade agricultural staff perspective. the methodological approach was survey research and the target population was one hundred (100) of staff in jihad agricultural ministry who had attended in word's in–service trai...

In this paper, we calculate the transverse momentum diffusion coefficient κT of heavy quark and gluon penetration length in the deconfinement phase of Sakai-Sugimoto model, which is known as a holographic dual of large Nc QCD. We find that for the heavy quark moving through the thermal plasma with a constant velocity v < 1, the transverse momentum diffusion coefficient κT ∝ λγ 1 3 T /Td, and th...

Distortion-induced fatigue cracking in unstiffened web gaps is common in steel bridges. Previous research by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) developed methods to predict the peak web gap stress and maximum differential deflection based upon field data and finite element analyses from two skew supported steel bridges with staggered bent-plate and cross-brace diaphragms, respe...
