Background: Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the reasons for mental retardation and defective growth in neonates. It can be treated if it is diagnosed early. The congenital hypothyroidism can be diagnosed using newborn screening in the first days after birth. Disease mapping helps to identify high-risk areas of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the pattern of CH using the Poisso...

We have identified a lethal phenotype characterized by sudden infant death (from cardiac and respiratory arrest) with dysgenesis of the testes in males [Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) accession no. 608800]. Twenty-one affected individuals with this autosomal recessive syndrome were ascertained in nine separate sibships among the Old Order Amish. High-density single-nucleotide polymo...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of morphology instruction through semantic mapping on vocabulary learning of iranian intermediate efl learners. to do so, 50 out of 70 students were se-lected from one english language institute by administrating a pet test. then, they were assigned into two groups randomly as experimental and control groups. a pretest (teacher made) was admin...

in this paper, the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy mapping as a generalization of fuzzy mapping is presented, and its' relationship with intuitionistic fuzzy relations is derived. moreover, some basicoperations of intuitionistic fuzzy mappings are defined, hence we can conclude that all of intuitionistic fuzzy mappings constitute a soft algebrawith respect to these operations. afterwards, the a...

n this paper , we propose a generalized iterative method forfinding a common element of the set of fixed points of a singlenonexpannsive mapping and the set of solutions of two variationalinequalities with inverse strongly monotone mappings and strictlypseudo-contractive of Browder-Petryshyn type mapping. Our resultsimprove and extend the results announced by many others.

We construct one-step iterative process for an α- nonexpansive mapping and a mapping satisfying condition (C) in the framework of a convex metric space. We study △-convergence and strong convergence of the iterative process to the common fixed point of the mappings. Our results are new and are valid in hyperbolic spaces, CAT(0) spaces, Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, simultaneously.

Motivated by Samet et al. [Nonlinear Anal., 75(4) (2012), 2154-2165], we introduce the notions of $alpha$-$phi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and $beta$-$psi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and prove two theorems which ensure the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for these two types of mappings. The presented theorems extend, generalize and improve the corresponding results given in the literature.

the current article was an attempt to investigate the effect of semantic mapping strategy instruction on reading comprehension performance of efl learners. to this end, thirty homogeneous iranian intermediate efl learners attending a language school in bonab, iran, were randomly assigned to two groups, one as the experimental and the other as the control. the experimental group received instruc...

Generalized Geraghty type fuzzy mappings oncomplete metric spaces are introduced and a fixed point theorem thatgeneralizes some recent comparable results for fuzzy mappings incontemporary literature is obtained. Example is provided to show thevalidity of obtained results over comparable classical results for fuzzymappings in fixed point theory. As an application, existence of coincidencefuzzy p...
