background: multiple sclerosis is accompanied by secondary clinical signs such as insomnia. considering the side effects of drugs and also increasing acceptability of psychotherapy methods in health systems, we aimed to determine the effect of group cognitive behavioral therapy on the quality of sleep in women with multiple sclerosis in 2014. methods: this study is a randomized controlled clini...

In this paper we consider a formulation of theH2 optimal control problem in which the controller is not viewed as an operator that transforms measurements to controls. Instead, the controller is assumed to be a device that constrains a set of a-priori specified interconnection variables so as to achieve a controlled system whose manifest variables have a free component and satisfy an upperbound...

A method of interactively specifying behaviorally-controlled animation is presented. The method builds upon the behavioral animation approach described by Reynolds14 using a connectionist approach inspired by Braitenberg.3 Objects are given sensors and effectors, and the user interactively provides a mapping between them. The force from the motor effectors produces motion using a simple form of...

Optimization of control ow is an important problem in the synthesis of embedded systems. While considerable progress has been made in data-oriented optimizations, control optimization has been fairly limited to those carried out by compilers at the register transfer level. Control optimizations are needed to make the nal system design insensitive to individual programming styles, and more impor...

chronic diseases have been identified as predisposing factors in behavioral disorders and the prevalence of these disorders is known to be higher in patients than in control groups. thalassemia too, plays an effective role in increasing the prevalence of behavioral disorders. in order to recognize the prevalence of behavioral disorders in thalassemic patients, a study was performed on 257 patie...
