Rainfall is one of the most important climatic variables in the hydrology cycle. In flood estimation as well as environmental pollution studies in medium to large watersheds not only mus temporal pattern of rainfall t be known, but also the knowledge of its spatial distribution is required. Estimation of daily rainfall distribution without comparison and selection of &#10suitable methods may le...

Modal verbs in English are challenging to learn by speakers of other languages. The purpose of thiswas to shed light on the use of gesture in learning English modal verbs by Persian-speaking children.To achieve this, 60 elementary Iranian learners, studying at some institutes in Karaj took part in thisstudy. The participants were randomly put into one experimental group and one control group. T...

scent sensitivities attribute to chemical fragrances is a lengthy one that includes everything from coughing, sneezing, gagging, shortness of breath, rhinitis and asthma attacks, to debilitating headaches, anxiety and dizziness. As a result, many workplaces and institutions — schools, hospitals and other government buildings — have some sort of scent-free or scent-reduction policy in place, whi...

This study tries to explain the importance of sex differences in the perception of pain and its treatment. The study examines sex differences not only between men and women, but more generally – between males and females. The study deals with both experimental and clinical findings. Generally speaking, women have lower pain thresholds and they also differ in their response to analgesic therapy ...

Generally speaking, practice-based research on gender and information technology is strongly dominated by feminist approaches emphasizing the difference between women and men. This position paper suggests a deconstructivist feminist approach and outlines how a combination of design oriented research in Computer Supported Cooperative Work, qualitative Software Engineering research and Critical D...

This paper considers the Two Array Mask algorithm which enables rapid plotting of a continuous function F(x, y). After reexamining this method as a hidden-surface algorithm, its correctness and precision were analyzed for parallel and perspective projections; given that the method with perspective projections is, generally speaking, not exact, alternative solutions are proposed for this case.

Verifying termination property and estimating runtime complexity (the longest derivation length) are central issues in program analysis. Among several computational models used for the analysis, term rewriting is a simple and powerful computational model. Generally speaking, termination and complexity methods in term rewriting are much more sophisticated than their counterparts used in other pr...

Generally speaking elevated troponin levels are consistent with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and haemodynamically relevant coronary artery stenosis. However, they may also point to minor myocardial injury in other circumstances. Four patients with elevated troponin levels after supraventricular tachycardia without evidence of coronary artery disease and very low risk scores for acut...
