Since the founding of the School Development Program (SDP) by Dr. James Comer in 1968, the manner in which child development is addressed in many schools has changed drastically. By working together using the SDP model, schools, parents, and child development experts are able to foster healthy social, emotional, and academic development in children, resulting in improvement in all areas. This r...

This paper is on the elasto-plastic analysis of plane stress problems. A five-parameter yield surface is presented. This yield criterion uses associate flow along with mixed hardening rule. The analytical formulations are written and related computer program for non-linear analysis is prepared. Finally, based on the formulations, numerical examples are solved.

Background: Hospital malnutrition, usually secondary to various diseases and their treatments, is an important problem in our clinical practice. For its proper assessment, it is crucial to use a nutritional alert system, such as the CONUT (COntrol NUTrition) program; this tool uses 3 analytical parameters: serum albumin, total cholesterol, and total lymphocyte count. <str...

Two kinds of the Levenberg-Marquardt-type methods for the solution of vertical complementarity problem are introduced. The methods are based on a nonsmooth equation reformulation of the vertical complementarity problem for its solution. Local and global convergence results and some remarks about the two kinds of the Levenberg-Marquardt-type methods are also given. Finally, numerical experiments...

This paper presents an algorithm for the reconstruction of a three-dimensional object from a single two-dimensional freehand sketch composed of strokes connected at vertices. The proposed algorithm uses the angular distribution of the strokes in the sketch plane to determine one or more orthogonal three-dimensional axis systems whose projection correlates with observed stroke orientations, and ...

inverse modeling is one of the most elegant geophysical tools for obtaining 2-d and 3-d images of geological structure. determination of the geometry of bedrock, by nonlinear inverse modeling of gravity data, is the aim of this paper. the algorithm uses a nonlinear iterative procedure for simulation of bedrock geometry. at the first step, the nonlinear problem changes to a linear problem by a p...

In the last decades, helicopter-borne electromagnetic (HEM) method became a focus of interest in the fields of mineral exploration, geological mapping, groundwater resource investigation and environmental monitoring. As a standard approach, researchers use 1-D inversion of the acquired HEM data to recover the conductivity/resistivity-depth models. Since the relation between HEM data and model ...
