the present study was initiated to derive an indirect method for estimating body fat mass (bfm) and to evaluate the correlation between indirect anthropometric techniques for this estimation and to examine the relation of these parameters and of iq to age of menarche. a total of 578 adolescent girls of ten junior high schools in five educational districts of mashhad, participated in a cross sec...

Abstract Based on magnetotelluric array data and the three‐dimensional (3D) inversion algorithm, we obtain 3D electrical structure of 1976 Ms7.8 Tangshan earthquake zone. The seismogenic comprised a thick resistive anomaly located east fault (TSF), thin belt extending westward, TSF A geodynamic model is proposed based other research findings. indicates that primary cause was almost EW‐trending ...

Cloud computing is distinguished from such conventional computing paradigms as grid computing and cluster computing in that it provides a practical business model for customers to use the resources remotely. It is natural for service providers to allocate the pooled cloud resources dynamically among the differentiated customers to maximise their revenue. This paper addresses the problem of the ...

Scatternets are ad hoc networks formed by Bluetooth devices. They are formed by connecting smaller networks known as piconets. In this paper, we present and evaluate a Tree Scatternet Formation with Tokens (TSF–T) protocol to form scatternets efficiently. This protocol, which extends existing algorithms, allows devices to be out–of–range and dynamically enter and leave the network. In addition,...

The preservation of ecosystems surrounding mine sites and the rehabilitation disturbed due to activities is a key responsibility operators. In Canada, federal provincial regulations are established control mining assist operators in developing successful management system for tailings facilities, through planning, construction, operation closure. A Closure Rehabilitation Plan has been prepared ...

Changes in the tailing properties (increasing clay mineral content and fine particles) and poor operation of the dewatering systems have negative impacts on the Tailing Storage Facilities (TSF) of the Shahrbabak copper complex. The design solid concentration of the thickened tailings is 63 wt.% in the Shahrbabak paste plant but it is well below the design value right now (approx. 55 wt.%). The ...

The failure of the Mount Polley tailings storage facility (TSF) in August 2014 was one largest magnitude failures on record, and released approximately 25 Mm3 material, including c. 7.3 into Hazeltine Creek, part Quesnel River watershed. This study evaluates impact spill geochemistry river channel floodplain sediments utilizes Pb isotope ratios a multi-variate mixing model to establish sediment...

Torque sharing function (TSF)-based switched reluctance motor (SRM) control is an effective approach to minimize torque ripple and maximize efficiency. This study investigated the influence of rotor geometry overcome inherent current tracking error used TSFs. Parameters TSF were optimized according several objectives. A finite element method simulation model was built verified evaluate objectiv...

In two experiments, we used multiple probe designs to first examine the correlation between presence of transformation stimulus function (TSF) across math operants and TSF saying writing for spelling, then tested effects establishment words on operants. Eight middle school students with learning disabilities participated in Experiment 1. Four participants demonstrated spelling. The dependent va...
