background haemorrhoids are cushions of submucosal vascular tissue located in the anal canal starting just distal to the dentate line. haemorrhoidal disease is a common anorectal disorder which has symptoms of bleeding, prolapse, pain, thrombosis, mucus discharge, and pruritus. haemorrhoidectomy is one of most frequently performed anorectal operation worldwide. objectives the aim of this study ...

This paper explores whether a speaker's voice quality, de®ned as the perceived timbre of someone's speech, changes as a function of variation in speech melody. Analyses are based on several productions of the vowel `a', provided with di€erent intonation patterns. It appears that in general fundamental frequency covaries with the `strength relationship' between the ®rst two harmonics (H1±H2). Th...

Introduction: This study aimed to compare operation time, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative pain between cold dissection tonsillectomy and harmonic scalpel tonsillectomy.  Materials and Methods: In this single-blinded clinical trial, 32 patients aged 14–48 were enrolled. Each patient randomly underwent tonsillectomy using the harmonic scalpel on one side and cold dissection on the other...

Nonlinear vibration behavior of beam is an important issue of structural engineering. In this study, a mathematical modeling of a forced nonlinear vibration of Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on nonlinear elastic foundation is presented. The nonlinear vibration behavior of the beam is investigated by using a modified multi-level residue harmonic balance method. The main advantage of the method is ...

Trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) express abundant and flexible information in a suitable manner and  are very useful to depict the decision information in the procedure of decision making. In this paper, some new aggregation operators, such as, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy weighted power harmonic mean (TrIFWPHM) operator, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted po...

nowadays with increasing use of numerous nonlinear loads, voltage and current harmonics in power systems are one of the most important problems power engineers encounter. many of these nonlinear loads, because of their dynamic natures, inject time-varying harmonics into power system. common techniques applied for harmonics measurement and assessment such as fft have significant errors in presen...

the variability of temperature and precipitation is regarded as one of the main characteristics of the climate.precipitation and its results, especially results such as droughts, vary on different temporal and spatial scales. thepurpose of this paper is to determine the frequency of the inter-annual variability of the driest month in north-westiran. in order to obtain the best results, we used ...
