backgroundbody image is a determinant of individual attractiveness and physical activity among the young people. this study was aimed to assess the association of trans-theoretical model based exercise behavior change with body image evaluation among the female iranian students.materials and methodsthis cross-sectional study was conducted in sanandaj city, iran in 2016. using multistage samplin...

Memristive behavior has been clearly addressed through growth and shrinkage of thin filaments in metal-oxide junctions. Capacitance change has also been observed, raising the possibility of using them as memcapacitors. Therefore, this paper proves that metal-oxide junctions can behave as a memcapacitor element by analyzing its characteristics and modeling its memristive and memcapacitive behavi...

Today, many wireless device providers choose to sell devices bundled with complementary mobile social services, which exhibit strong positive network externality. Taking a reverse engineering approach, this paper aims to quantify the benefits of selling devices and complementary services under the following three strategies: separate pricing, bundled pricing, and hybrid pricing (both the separa...

aim: regular physical activity has several physical, psychological and social benefits. however, it is a global health problem, especially among icu nurses. therefore, in order to improve nurses’ physical activity, it is required to determine the effective correlated factors. the aim of this study was to delineate predictive factors on the physical activity of icu nurses based on a trans-theore...

abstract recharge of aquifers by using wastewater, is one of the important and applicable ways for reusing this valuable water resource, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. as the necessity of local practices for finding the proper management strategies and optimum use of recharge systems (conforming to climate, soil, etc.), a preliminary study was carried out. three physical models were ...

objective: educational models are used to study the behavior and plan for changing and determining the factors that affect the individuals’ decision making for conducting a behavior. this study aimed to compare the effects of the educational program based on basnef model and acupressure at gb21 point on the infants’ physical growth indicators.methods: this clinical trial was conducted on 150 (5...

molecular understanding of three-dimensional (3d) peptide: mhc models require both basic knowledge of computational modeling and skilled visual perception, which are not possessed by all students. the present model aims to simulate mhc molecular structure with the hands and make a profound impression on the students.

This paper presents a new computationally efficient unified approach to the numerical simulation of sensitivity and noise in majority-carrier semiconductor devices, based on the extension to device simulation of the adjoint method, well known in the sensitivity and noise analysis of electrical networks. Sensitivity and device noise analysis based on physical models are shown to have a common ba...

Device simulation has two main purposes: to understand and to depict the physical processes in the interior of a device, and to make reliable predictions of the behavior of the next device generation. Towards these goals, the quality of the implemented physical models is decisive, forcing heuristic t models to be replaced by \\rst-principle"-based models. Since transport schemes using moments o...
