the partial differential equations for water flow and solute transport in a two-dimensional saturated domain are rendered discrete using the finite difference technique; the resulting system of algebraic equations is solved using a dynamic programming (dp) method. the advantage of the dp algorithm is that the problem is converted from solving an algebraic system of order nc(nl-1) nc(nl-1) into...

Objective: Obesity is a major public health concern and there are different ways to detect it in population. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the neck circumference (NC) in a simple and practical way. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey utilized data from the Yazd Health Study (YaHS) which is a population-based cohort study. In brief, 9962 individuals aged 20-70 years...

Improving contour accuracy is one of the significant goals industrial machining. This paper proposes a error estimation and compensation algorithm for five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools based on modified (NC) codes. The expected path analyzed by NC data actual trajectory collected sensors are spatially mapped hidden Markov model (HMM). Next, an evaluation function that hyb...

6. Two competitors play badminton. They play two games, each winning one of them. They then play a third game to determine the overall winner of the match. The winner of a game of badminton is the first player to score at least 21 points with a lead of at least 2 points over the other player. In this particular match, it is observed that the scores of each player listed in order of the games fo...

Background: Surface properties of a biomaterial could be critical in determining biomaterial’s biocompatibility due to the fact that the first interactions between the biological environment and artificial materials are most likely occurred at material’s surface. In this study, the surface properties of a new nanocomposite (NC) polymeric material were modified by combining plasma treatment and...
