background: to assess the effect of method of delivery on women's mental health to improve of health status. methods: eleven hundred healthy women who had recently either normal vaginal delivery (nvd) or cesarean section (cs) were studied 6 week after delivery in 2005. the data were collected with using the 36-items short-form (sf-36) questionnaire by interviewing method. spss software version ...

In the field of GIS, it is frequently required to carry out projection transformation of massive raster maps or remote sensing images. In this paper, a method named multi-rank method is presented. It is able to achieve projection transformation with adjustable accuracy and speed. All the points in a map or image are divided into four ranks. Rank-4 points, which scatter in the map, are transform...

In this paper we focus on some aspects related to modeling and formal verification of embedded systems. Many models have been proposed to represent embedded systems [1] [2]. These models encompass a broad range of styles, characteristics, and application domains and include the extensions of finite state machines, data flow graphs, communication processes and Petri nets. In this report, we have...

In this paper a generalized tanh-function type method is proposed by using the idea of the transformed rational function method. We show that the G G  -expansion method is a special case of the generalized tanh-function type method, so the G G   -expansion method is considered as a special deformation application of the transformed rational function method. We demonstrate that all solutio...

magnetotelluric (mt) method is an important passive surface geophysical method which uses the earth’s natural electromagnetic fields to investigate the electrical resistivity structure of the subsurface. the depth of investigation of mt is much higher than that of other electromagnetic (em) methods (vozoff, 1991). for a general conductivity distribution in the earth, the horizontal electric fie...

Present paper deals with the development of a Mechanistic-Empirical model strain-based design perpetual road pavement using Odemark's principle. The bituminous which can withstand minimum traffic 300 msa has been classified as in this paper. considered three-layered system top layer mix followed by unbound granular materials rest on soil subgrade. constituent thickness determined limiting radia...

We propose a dual-threshold method based on a strategic combination of RGB and HSV color space for white blood cell (WBC) segmentation. The proposed method consists of three main parts: preprocessing, threshold segmentation, and postprocessing. In the preprocessing part, we get two images for further processing: one contrast-stretched gray image and one H component image from transformed HSV co...

A 4 kb fragment of chromosomal DNA was cloned from a clinical strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It comprises part of a section of the chromosome that was lost when the strain was cured of resistance to methicillin and to other antimicrobial agents. The fragment mediates an increased level of methicillin resistance when inserted into a shuttle vector and transformed back int...
