introduction: various types of software are used in health care organizations to manage information and care processes. the quality of software has been an important concern for both health authorities and designers of health information technology. thus, assessing the effect of software quality on the performance quality of healthcare institutions is essential. method: the most important healt...

Recently, Abbasbandy and Asady have been proposed a modificationof the distance based approach, namely ``sign distance method''.However, in this paper, it is shown that this method has some drawbacks, i.e.,the result is not consistent with human intuition for specialcases and this method cannot always logically infer rankingorder of the images of the fuzzy numbers. In this paper, wepresent a re...

The estimation of potential strong ground motions at short epicentral distances (J1 = 10 to 25 km) resulting from large earthquakes, M;;;; 6.5, generally requires extrapolation of a limited data set. The goal of this project has been to quantify the extrapolation through a simulation technique that relies heavily upon the more extensive data set from smaller magnitude earthquakes. The simulatio...

Angles of incidence p waves were obtained from the records short and long period seismographs W.W.S.S.N. at Shillong. The study covers range epicentral distances 200 to 1000. observations indicate that velocity P earth’s surface is approximately 6 km/sec which upper layer (granitic layer) earth.

We analyzed four pairs of a large (Mw "'6) and a small (Mw "' 3.5 to 4) shallow strike-slip earthquakes to investigate the scale-dependence. of the seismic energy-tomoment ratio, an important macroscopic parameter which reflects the basic physical process of seismic slip. These earthquakes occurred in the south-western part of Japan, and high-quality close-in records (epicentral distance< 50 km...
