BACKGROUND The Quality of Life Scale (QOLS), developed originally by John Flanagan in the 1970's, has been adapted for use in chronic illness groups. Evidence for reliability and validity has been published over the years for both English and translations. This paper presents further evidence of construct validity for persons with chronic conditions as well as across two languages, and gender. ...

In recent papers [1, 2] I have argued that the observed cosmological acceleration can be accounted for by the inclusion of a 1/R term in the gravitational action in the Palatini formalism. Subsequently, Flanagan [3, 4] argued that this theory is equivalent to a scalar-tensor theory which produces corrections to the standard model that are ruled out experimentally. In this article I examine the ...

Reservoir characterization has a leading role in the reservoir geophysics and reservoir management. Since the interests of the reservoir geophysics and reservoir managements are the elastic properties and reservoir properties of the subsurface rock for their purposes, a robust method is required for converting seismic data into elastic properties. Accordingly, by employing a rock physics model ...

Recently Flanagan [1] has argued that the Palatini form of 1/R gravity is ruled out by experiments such as electron-electron scattering. His argument involves adding minimally coupled fermions in the Jordan frame and transforming to the Einstein frame. This produces additional terms that are ruled out experimentally. Here I argue that this conclusion is false. It is well known that conformally ...

Displacements around a tunnel, occurring as a result of excavation, consist of the elastic and plastic parts. In this paper, we discuss the elastic part of displacements as a result of excavation, called net displacement. In general, the previous analytical solutions presented for determining the displacements around a circular tunnel in an elastic medium do not give the net displacements...

in this study, thermo-mechanical nonlinear vibration of a polyethylene (pe) cylindrical shell embedded in an elastic foundation was investigated. the shell is reinforced by armchair carbon nanotubes (cnts) where characteristics of the equivalent composite being determined using mori-tanaka model. the elastic medium is simulated using the spring constant of the winkler-type,  . employing nonline...

In the current research with novel first and second differentiations of a yield function, Euler forward along with Euler backward with its consistent elastic-plastic modulus are newly implemented in finite element program in rate-independent plasticity. An elastic-plastic internally pressurized thick walled cylinder is analyzed with four famous criteria including both pressure dependent and ind...
