Introduction Depression is a leading cause of disability, annually affecting up to 300 million people worldwide, yet fewer than one third patients receive care. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) an effective treatment for depression, but there are barriers access therapy. Electronic CBT (e-CBT) can address these barriers, the digital format may reduce personalization and patient compliance. A...

a greenhouse research work was conducted to study the patterns of na+ and k+ distribution in root, stem and leaf during three growth stages of four iranian alfalfa ecotypes and to find correlation between these patterns and plant salt tolerance. treatments were replicated three times in a factorial experiment of a completely randomized block design. based on the threshold of salt tolerance in a...

BACKGROUND Advances in treatment and critical care have largely improved the survival following burns; therefore, the importance of quality of life in burn patients is an issue beyond question. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Orem self-care program on Quality of Life of burn patients. METHODS A randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 110 eligible burn patients w...

Introduction Oncological and palliative care patients face unique stressors which increase their risk of developing depression anxiety. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) mindfulness has established success in improving this population’s mental health. Traditional face-to-face psychotherapy is costly, long wait lists, often lacks accessibility, strict scheduling, each can make attending physic...

Network analysis has been a major research area over the last ten years, driven by interest in biological networks, cyber attacks, social networks, and criminal or terrorist organizations. This range of applications is illustrated in Figure 1. Detection of a covert community is most likely to be effective if the community exhibits high levels of connection activity. However, the covert networks...

An ideal band-pass filter removes the frequency components of a time series that lie within a particular range of frequencies. In practice, it is difficult to construct an "ideal" band-pass filter as it requires an infinite number of data points. Therefore, an approximation to an ideal filter is used to extract the components of a time series in a particular frequency range, such as business cy...

The preparation of concentration gradients of reactive molecules is fundamentally important for many research fields including biology, pharmaceutical and chemical engineering (Kim et al. 2010; Lin and Levchenko 2015; Sackmann et al. 2014; Sant et al. 2010; Wu et al. 2010). To generate concentration gradients, microfluidic gradient generators (MGGs), including flow based and (Abe et al. 2015; C...
