Temperature is one of the most important climate variables that many economic and social plans related to its changes. Because of The importance of this issue, this study investigated the changes of it in the province Khuzestan. Meteorological data that used in this study is mean temperature in annual and seasonal timescale. The study area is Abadan, Ahwaz, Dezful and Omidiye stations. For anal...

ity a nonlocal potential which could fit neutron elastic scattering data in the energy range from 0.4 to 24 MeV and where the optical-model parameters were energy independent. This is, of course, a remarkable result since we know that the absorption, for instance, is changing quite dramatically by going from 0.4 to 24 MeV incident projectile energy. We believe that these findings of Perey and B...

BACKGROUND Norovirus causes a majority of outbreaks of gastrointestinal (GI) illness on cruise ships calling on the United States. Control measures include patient isolation, hand washing, and facility closure. Little is known about the behaviors and practices of people who have become ill with norovirus GI illness compared to those who remained well during an outbreak. METHODS Passenger surv...

The present study tested the hypothesis that the exercise protocol (continuous vs. intermittent) would affect the physiological response and the perception of effort during aquatic cycling. Each protocol was divided on four stages. Heart rate, arterial blood pressure, blood lactate concentration, central and peripheral rate of perceived exertion were collected in both protocols in aquatic cycli...

The nonlinear magneto-optical Kerr-effect (NOLIMOKE) is determined for freestanding Fe monolayers with several in-plane structures from first principles. Based on the theory of nonlinear magneto-optics by Hübner and Benne-mann [Phys. Rev. B, 40, 5973 (1989)] we calculate the nonlinear susceptibil-ities of the monolayers using the ab initio FLAPW-method WIEN95 with the additional implementation ...

BACKGROUND This study examined the relationships between a newly developed older person-specific non-preference-based quality of life (QoL) instrument (Older People's Quality of Life brief questionnaire (OPQoL-brief)) and two generic preference-based instruments (the EQ-5D-3L Level (EQ-5D-3 L) and the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit (ASCOT) in a community-dwelling population of Australian ol...
