My paper has two parts. First, I talk about the golden rule. After introducing the rule and its global importance, I explain why many scholars dismiss it as a vague proverb that leads to absurdities when we try to formulate it clearly. I defend the golden rule against such objections. Second, I talk about the golden rule in Persia and Islam; I consider Persian sources (Muslim and non-Muslim) an...

OBJECTIVE To determine predictive factors for the presence of focal infiltrates in children with clinically suspected pneumonia in a pediatric emergency department. METHODS Children (1-16 years) with clinically suspected pneumonia were studied prospectively. The presenting features were compared between the children with and without focal infiltrates using chi2 analysis, t test, and odds rati...

solute transport processes are affected by soil pore water velocity distribution. pore size distribution, which can be used to infer pore water velocity distribution, can be estimated from a soil water retention curve (n). in this study, a solute breakthrough curve was simulated using soil hydraulic parameters in four different soils. to evaluate the proposed model, predictions were compared to...

designing an effective criterion for selecting the best rule is a major problem in theprocess of implementing fuzzy learning classifier (flc) systems. conventionally confidenceand support or combined measures of these are used as criteria for fuzzy rule evaluation. in thispaper new entities namely precision and recall from the field of information retrieval (ir)systems is adapted as alternative...

An exhaustive empirical and theoretical study conducted by Blanchflower and Oswald (1994) found a new empirical regularity of the negative relationship between wages and regional unemployment, that is, the ‘wage curve.’ The curve is roughly described by – 0.1 of the elasticity of wages with respect to the local unemployment rate with human capital characteristics of individual workers controlle...

Accurate measurements of the thermal resistance between micro-objects made insulating materials are complex because their small size, low conductivity, and presence various ill-defined gaps. We address this issue using a modified scanning microscope operating in vacuum air. The sphere-plate geometry is considered. Under controlled heating power, we measure temperature on top glass microsphere g...

We address the issue of postmaximum bump observed in light curve some superluminous supernovae. rule out popular mechanism a circumstellar interaction suggested for explanation. Instead we propose that is caused by magnetar dipole field enhancement several months after explosion. The modeling SN 2019stc based on thin shell approximation implies at age $\sim 90$ days initial magnetic should be a...
