Elements in a sample date are demonstrated based on their characteristics and in turn the characteristics are represented by variables. Identifying the relationship between these variables is crucial for prediction, hypothesis testing, and decision making. The relation between two variables is often quantified using a correlation factor. Once correlation is known it can be used to make predicti...

Background: For decades, it was suspected that diabetes contributed to poorer oral health and the increased frequency of periodontitis. More recently it was found that periodontitis could adversely affect glycemic control in diabetics. The aim of this study was to compare periodontal parameters with the metabolic sugar levels of diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. Materials and Methods: I...

In this paper we present a method of abrupt cut detection with a novel logic of frames’ comparison. Actual frame is compared with its motion estimated prediction instead of comparison with successive frame. Four different similarity metrics were employed to estimate the resemblance of compared frames. Obtained results were evaluated by standard used measures of test accuracy and compared with e...

National identity is the most pervasive level of identity among all social systems. In compare with other type of common identity, the national identity will affect on different aspects of life in every social system. So, this study attempts to examine Yazd young's attitude toward national identity and its effective factors. The sample size of this survey consists of 378 young (18-30 ages) whic...

introduction blood pressure (bp) is one of the important vital signs that need to be monitored for personal healthcare. arterial blood pressure is estimated from pulse transit time (ptt). this study uses two pulse sensors to get ptt. the aim of this study was to construct an optical system and to monitor blood pressure continuously and without cuff in people with different ages. materials and m...

determining landslide size could be a difficult and expensive task. in this research, size parameters of 142 landslides recognized in tajan river basin, northern iran, have been assessed. the dataset was prepared through the extensive field surveys and using the satellite imagery available via google earth. dependence between landslides area (a-m2), volume (v-m3), and depth (d-m) was appointed ...

An assay was developed for rapid and sensitive analysis of myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNA expression in rodent skeletal muscle. Only 2 microg of total RNA were necessary for the simultaneous analysis of relative mRNA expression of six different MHC genes. We designed synthetic DNA fragments as internal standards, which contained the relevant primer sequences for the adult MHC mRNAs type I, IIa, ...
