using the persian version of gadow's child syptom inventory (sci-4), an attempt was made to determine the prevalence of attention deficit and disruptive behaviours among elementary school children of gonabad town in the north eastern khorasan province of iran. subjects consisted of 400 children (202 boys and 198 girls) ages 7 to 12 years attending grades 1-5 of public primary schools. they...

simulation of turbulence boiling, generation of vapour and predication of its behaviour are still subject to debate in the two-phase flow area and they receive a high level of worldwide attention. in this study, a new arrangement of the three dimensional governing equations for turbulence two-phase flow with heat and mass transfer are derived by using ensemble averaging two-fluid model and util...

many researchers have investigated how to increase the overall efficiency of solar-driven thermal systems. several key parameters, such as collector efficiency and storage tank characteristics, may impose some constraints on the annual solar fraction (asf) of such systems. in this paper, the behaviour of integrating the phase change material (pcm) in sdhw systems is modelled and optimized numer...

OBJECTIVE Beliefs in one's ability to perform a task or behaviour successfully are described as self-efficacy beliefs (Bandura, 1977). Since individuals have to deal with differing demands during a behaviour-change process, they form phase-specific self-efficacy beliefs directed at these respective challenges. The present study, based on the Health Action Process Approach (Schwarzer, 2001), exa...

This paper presents an infrastructure that uses program phase behaviour and brings together the advantages of simulation and physical measurement to capture detailed program power behaviour. Based on the direct correlation between instructions-per-cycle and power dissipation for the same piece of code, we refine the phase classification used in SimPoint to improve the similarity among the inter...
