Cultural divergence is incongruity in the values, attitudes and behaviors among different generations of a society. Identifying factors related to cultural divergence in the social values ​​of parents and children is one of the most important issues in Iranian society, which has been investigated in the present research through a quantitative approach. The statistical population of the study co...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between dental arch form and the vertical facial pattern determined by the angle between the mandibular plane and the anterior cranial base (Sella-nasion/mandibular plane angle (SN-MP)) in skeletal class II untreated patients. METHODS A sample of 73 Caucasians patients with untreated skeletal class II in permanent dentition ...

In applications of differential geometry to problems of parametric inference, the notion of divergence is often used to measure the separation between two parametric densities. Among them, in this paper, we will verify measures such as Kullback-Leibler information, J-divergence, Hellinger distance, -Divergence, … and so on. Properties and results related to distance between probability d...

Free space optics (FSO) provides high-capacity optical wireless communications. To maintain an FSO link with a moving node, beam should be steered toward it. As the distance gets shorter, it becomes difficult to link. This is because radius has not largely expanded yet at shorter transmission distances and received power decreases as receiver moves away from center of beam. In this letter, we a...
