background: one of the methods used for standard setting is the borderline regression method (brm). this study aims to assess the reliability of brm when the pass-fail standard in an objective structured clinical examination (osce) was calculated by averaging the brm standards obtained for each station separately. materials and methods: in nine stations of the osce with direct observation the e...

background: objective structured clinical examination (osce) is one of the best methods of evaluating the achievement of domains such as educational objectives and cognitive, emotional, and psycho-motor aspects of medical students. according to available evidences, no study has been conducted  on the evaluating of osce in midwifery students. the main purpose of this study was the evaluation of ...

the synthesis of nano- structured cobalt through a controlled chemical process followed by heat treating at various temperatures is studied. the product is characterized by icp, xrd, fesem , and tem, indicating that the as- synthesized particles have an amorphous structure with 1.76 for co/b ratio, an average size of 50 nm. the transformation of intermediate phases into single phase nano- cryst...

Coded structured light is considered one of the most reliable techniques for recovering the surface of objects. This technique is based on projecting a light pattern and imaging the illuminated scene from one or more points of view. Since the pattern is coded, correspondences between image points and points of the projected pattern can be easily found. The decoded points can be triangulated and...

Although phase shifts (PS) are frequently used to acquire colored surfaces of static objects, especially when acquisition time is not critical, the periodic nature of relative (wrapped) PS maps makes it necessary to deal with the issue of phase unwrapping. Consequently, multiple phase shifts (MPS) have been widely used as an alternative, but this usually involves a large number of different PS ...
