this study describes the length-weight and length-length relationships for 28 populations of garra ruffa in different basins of iran, including tigris, karkheh, karun, persis and hormuz. the length-weight relationships from most localities are reported here for the first time. for most populations the b value was not significantly different from 3, indicating an isometric growth, in a few, it w...

While local dynamic stability measures have been successfully used to characterize walking stability, they require long continuous walking data, which may be difficult to obtain from a clinical population. We investigated the amount of walking data necessary to obtain reliable measures of local dynamic stability. Twenty healthy adults walked on a motorized treadmill at their self-selected speed...

A recently proposed method, based on dispersion theory, that allows the scattering length of a hadronic two-body system to be extracted from corresponding final-state interactions is generalized to the situation where the Coulomb interaction is present. The steps required in a concrete practical application are discussed in detail. In addition a thorough examination of the accuracy of the propo...

the ultrasonic measurement of the fetal femur length is a sensitive and precise variable for estimation of fetal growth and development. tlte objective of this study was to predict gestational age in fetuses older ttian twenty-four weeks of gestation by ultrasonic measurement of the femur length. in this study, pregnant mothers were identified by the criteria of normality, such as well-known lm...
