Introduction: Functional dyspepsia and digestive disorders arecommon, debilitating and costly. Little information is availableabout the role of stress management in terms of cognitivebehavioraltreatment of dyspepsia. The purpose of this studywas to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stressmanagement on functional dyspepsia symptoms in patients whoreferred to digestion clinics...

objectives: an effective safety management requires paying attention to human factors. one of the most important methods for achievement to accident prevention is using safety climate or safety culture. moreover, some studies suggest that in most organizations behavior contributes to 86-96% of all injuries. this cross-sectional study was performed on the functional units’ workers of khuzestan p...

Linear dynamic response of simply supported nanobeams subjected to a variable axial force is assessed by Galerkin numerical approach. Constitutive behavior is described by three functional forms of elastic energy densities enclosing nonlocal and strain gradient effects and their combination. Linear stationary dynamics of nanobeams is modulated by an axial force which controls the global stiffne...

We examined the effectiveness of functional communication training (FCT) in reducing self-injurious behavior (SIB) and in shaping an alternative (communicative) response while SIB continued to be reinforced. Following a functional analysis of 3 individuals' SIB, we attempted to teach an alternative response consisting of a manual sign to each individual, using the reinforcer that maintained SIB...

In this paper a functional graded material (FGM) thermal barrier coating (TBC) is prepared using Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) method. The FGM layers were deposited by varying the feeding ratio of CYSZ/NiCrAlY and conventional CYSZ on a NiCrALY-coated Inconel 738 substrates. Hot corrosion behavior, bonding strength and the related failure mechanisms of a conventional TBC and a FGM TBC are i...

he aromatic behavior of the azo-linked cyclopentadienide derivatives have been revealed in various natural compounds. In Tthis research, density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP level are used to optimize the geometry of the compounds. In addition, we were interested in the evaluation of the aromaticity of the selected compounds using nucleus independent chemical shifts NIC...

Research has shown that different maladaptive behavior categories may be maintained by different contingencies. We examined whether behavior categories or behavior topographies determine functional properties. The Questions about Behavioral Function with its five subscales (Attention, Escape, Nonsocial, Physical, and Tangible) was completed by direct care staff for one target behavior for each ...

it is well known that a microperiodic function mapping a topological group into reals, which is continuous at some point is constant. we introduce the notion of a microperiodic multifunction, defined on a topological group with values in a metric space, and study regularity conditions implying an analogous result. we deal with vietoris and hausdorff continuity concepts.stability of microperiodi...
