introduction: inadequate sleep hygiene may result in difficulties in daily functioning; therefore, reliable scales are important to measure sleep hygiene. the purpose of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the persian version of sleep hygiene index (shi) in the male population. methods: in this study, 787 men, who were selected by cluster random sampling, filled out the shi,...

We show that the convergences of Jungck, JungckMann, Jungck-Ishikawa, Jungck-Noor and Jungck-multistep iteration processes are equivalent for a class of generalized contractivelike operators defined on a Banach space. Our results are generalizations and extensions of the work of Soltuz [20, 21], Zhiqun [23] and some other numerous ones in literature.

. introduction the siberian high (sh) is a quasi-stationary and semi-permanent surface high pressure system residing over the eurasian continent during winter with its climatological–mean central pressure exceeding 1030 hpa. this most important atmospheric center of action controls the climate of a wide area of this continent. the sh forms generally in october mainly in response to strong radia...

Purpose: We have developed a systemic hepatic-damage index (SHI) based on serum total cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein levels (HDL) and determined its prognostic significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing resection. Experimental Design: The SHI was analyzed in the training cohort of 188 HCC patients and in the validation cohort of 177 HCC patients. The syste...
