The purpose was to show that when a favor reduces a person's freedom, it arouses "psychological reactance," a motivational state aimed at restoration of this freedom. Ss, run individually, learned they were to make Ist-imprcssion ratings of another S (confederate) and then were given a soft drink by this S, prior to making the ratings. In a 2 X 2 design, the Ist-imprcssion ratings were given lo...

a 42-d study was conducted to evaluate the influence of full-fat flaxseed (fs) and canola seed (cs) on broiler performance, fatty acid (fa) profile of meat, and the oxidative stability of meat during frozen storage. a total of 324 one-day old broiler chicks were randomly attributed to 6 experimental groups and fed iso-energetic and isonitrogenous diets as follows, c: control (soybean-corn); cs1...

Air quality prediction is highly important in view of the health impacts caused by exposure to air pollutants in urban air. This work has presented a model based on support vector machine (SVM) technique to predict daily average carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations in the atmosphere of Tehran. Two types of SVM regression models, i.e. -SVM and -SVM techniques, were used to predict average daily C...

In this work, we define fuzzy soft ($fs$) matrices and theiroperations which are more functional to make theoretical studies inthe $fs$-set theory. We then define products of $fs$-matrices andstudy their properties. We finally construct a $fs$-$max$-$min$decision making method which can be successfully applied to theproblems that contain uncertainties.

abstract statement of problem: mechanical strength and durability of dental composites are the main topics studied in this field of science today. this study examined fumed silica-based composite as a strong and durable restorative material through flexural and cycling test methods.     objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of silanization, ageing, cycling and hybridi...
