background: the safety of rehabilitation centers is of great importance to ensure the well-being of patients. the present study aimed to determine non-structural and functional vulnerability of state rehabilitation centers of tehran city welfare organization in disasters using national standard instruments in 2014. materials and methods: this study has a descriptive and cross-sectional design. ...

Objective: To test whether maintenance self-efficacy predicts physical activity among individuals who maintain an active lifestyle and whether recovery self-efficacy predicts physical activity among those who relapse to a less active lifestyle. Study Design and Participants: In a longitudinal study, data were collected from 114 participants 4–10 days after a myocardial infarction (MI), 2 weeks ...

State-of-the-art infrastructure management systems utilize Markov Decision Processes as a methodology for maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) decision-making. The underlying assumption in this methodology is that an inspection is performed at the beginning of every year, and that inspections reveal the true condition state of the facility, with no error. As a result, after an inspection, the d...

We present a quadratic programming formulation for the problem of obtaining optimal maintenance and repair policies for multi-facility transportation infrastructure systems. The proposed model provides a computationally-tractable framework to support decision-making, while accounting for economic interdependencies that link the facilities that comprise these systems. To demonstrate the advantag...

Background: Home-based virtual reality technology may become an alternative to cardiac rehabilitation. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of a specific, home-based exercise program, performed either through (Kinect) or conventional format (booklet) in maintenance stage rehabilitation for six months on functional muscle strength lower limbs, physical activity and tolerance. Methodology: This is...

Implant rehabilitation is a daily practice in dentistry, and patients often have heightened expectations regarding both the functional aesthetic outcome. Implant–abutment connection (IAC) involved long-term quality of rehabilitation. The use one-piece implants for fixing dentures may prevent mechanical biological implication implant–abutment interface, resulting better hard soft tissue maintena...

conclusions a long-term longitudinal study encompassing integrated research is needed to fully understand the traumatic experiences of caregivers. unless research on tbi or dai trauma is given its proper attention, the burden of trauma and injury on societies will continue to exacerbate globally. context as with care giving and rehabilitation in chronic illnesses, the concern with traumatic bra...

When periodontal disease is diagnosed, it difficult to predict the clinical response of treatment a tooth over time because result affected by several factors and will depend on maintenance support treatment. Rehabilitation with removable dental prostheses, fixed implants makes possible restore function esthetics patients loss due disease. The predictive in periodontitis should be assessed dent...

Abstract The rise in percentage of deteriorated bridges coupled with the escalation maintenance costs call for systematic bridge management systems. Therefore, this research paper introduces an exponential chaotic differential evolution (ECDE) model optimizing plans at both project and network levels. developed optimization is envisioned on addressing performance, economic, social, environmenta...
