introduction: responsive medicine is an appropriate training method which trains the graduates who can act effectively in initial and secondary aspects of health issues in the society. methods: this was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study which was done using quantitative method. the target population of this study was all the students of the nutrition and health school of shiraz unive...

In this paper, we analyse theoretical properties of the slice sampler. We nd that the algorithm has extremely robust geometric ergodicity properties. For the case of just one auxiliary variable, we demonstrate that the algorithm is stochasti-cally monotone, and deduce analytic bounds on the total variation distance from stationarity of the method using Foster-Lyapunov drift condition methodology.

A simple numerical technique for path-planning is presented, which relies upon recent developments regarding the existence of universal nonsingular controls. It is based on the use of \generic loops" which provide rst-order controllability along trajectories. The method can be applied in principle to any analytic system having no drift term. The basic theoretical framework is reviewed, and a co...

We present the O(α) and O(α ln α) corrections to the total decay width of orthopositronium in closed analytic form, in terms of basic transcendental numbers, which can be evaluated numerically to arbitrary precision.

Recent theoretical advances in elasticity of membranes following Helfrich's famous spontaneous curvature model are summarized in this review. The governing equations describing equilibrium configurations of lipid vesicles, lipid membranes with free edges, and chiral lipid membranes are presented. Several analytic solutions to these equations and their corresponding configurations are demonstrated.

In this paper, we investigate the basic structural properties of (analytic) q-exponentially equicontinuous (a, k)-regularized C-resolvent families in sequentially complete locally convex spaces. We provide some applications in fluid dynamics, linear thermoviscoelasticity, and illustrate obtained theoretical results by several other examples.

In this paper a novel theoretical security analysis will be presented for data hiding methods with side-information, based on Costa’s dirty paper scheme. We quantify the information about the secret key that leaks from the observation of watermarked signals, using the mutual information as analytic tool for providing a fair comparison between the original Costa’s scheme, Distortion Compensated ...
