background: life-threatening and stressful events, such as myocardial infarction (mi) can lead to an actual crisis, which affects the patients spiritually as well as physically, psychologically, and socially. however, the focus of health care providers is on physical needs. furthermore, the spirituality of the patients experiencing heart attack in the light of our cultural context is not well a...

background: infant's transition is a challenge for parents and the health system that requires ongoing assessment and management to improve each newborn`s growth and development. the purpose of this study was to explore the management of infant` transition from neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) to home.materials and methods: we used a grounded theory study to explore and describe the man...

We give a brief description of catastrophe theory, and of its applications; to my view, it is a fundamentally qualitative, interpretative theory, and, by itself, it has no ability to predict. Examples are given of interpretations of singularities in statistics and in geophysics (plate tectonics). It is perhaps ironical that I am now assessing the importance of such ideas and theories as structu...

‎We illustrate a method of computing Langlands-Shahidi local coefficients via the theory of types and covers‎. ‎The purpose of this paper is to illustrate a method of computing the Langlands-Shahidi local coefficients using the theory of types and covers.

We combine computer simulations and analytical theory to investigate the glassy dynamics in dense assemblies of athermal particles evolving under the sole influence of self-propulsion. Our simulations reveal that when the persistence time of the self-propulsion is increased, the local structure becomes more pronounced, whereas the long-time dynamics first accelerates and then slows down. We exp...

In periodically varying environments, population models generate periodic dynamical systems. To understand the effects of unidirectional dispersal on local patch dynamics in fluctuating environments, dynamical systems theory is used to study the resulting periodic dynamical systems. In particular, a unidirectional dispersal linked two patch nonautonomous metapopulation model is constructed and ...

introduction local institutions in iran are known as local administrators. these indigenous self-help groups have been around since 1998 with the act of establishing self-sufficient local administrators across the country. according to the latest statistics, the rank of kermanshah province is second in the positions of local institutions across the country. interestingly, khorasane-razavi holds...

A recently developed dynamical mean-field theory in the iterated perturbation theory approximation was used as a basis for construction of the ”first principles” calculation scheme for investigating electronic structure of strongly correlated electron systems. This scheme is based on Local Density Approximation (LDA) in the framework of the Linearized Muffin-Tin-Orbitals (LMTO) method. The clas...
