Background: Jaundice is the most common cause of infant’s hospitalization. Infancy and especially the first few days after birth has important role on human mental and psychophysical Health in the future. Aim: To investigate the effects of massage on infants’ physiological jaundice. Methods: This single-blind clinical trial was performed at Tabriz Alzahra hospital. In this study, 47 healthy ful...

We investigated the effects of trial-to-trial, random variation in environmental forces on the motor adaptation of human subjects during reaching. Novel sequences of dynamic environments were applied to subjects' hands by a robot. Subjects reached first in a "mean field" having a constant gain relating force and velocity, then in a "noise field," having a gain that varied randomly between reach...

purpose: to compare the outcomes of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk) using the big-bubble technique with that of penetrating keratoplasty (pk) in patients with keratoconus. methods: this double-blind clinical trial included patients with moderate to advanced keratoconus and poor spectacle-corrected visual acuity or contact lens intolerance. refractive errors, best corrected visual acu...

A series of field trials have been established as part of the ACIAR Smallholder Tree Farmer Project. These trials are designed to have both a research and demonstration function. A field trial was designed to investigate the potential interaction between four species providing a combination of native and exotic species and nitrogen-fixing vs non-nitrogen-fixing. Importantly, this design provide...

A trial wave function for two-dimensional quantum-dot helium in an arbitrary perpendicular magnetic field a system of two interacting electrons in a two-dimensional parabolic confinement potential is introduced. A key ingredient of this trial wave function is a Jastrow pair correlation factor that has a displaced Gaussian form. The above choice of the pair correlation factor is instrumental in ...

The variational method for numerical simulation of rf parameters of periodical structures with arbitrary phase shift per structure period is developed. At any phase shift the field distribution is represented as a sum over trial functions. As trial functions we use numerically simulated field distribution, considering with different boundary conditions only one structure period. By using standa...

Infrared smoke screen has been playing an important role in electro-optical countermeasures on the battlefield. Smoke transmittance is one of the most important parameters which can evaluate the obscuration performance of smoke. In this paper, an efficient numerical approach for field infrared smoke transmittance based on grayscale images is presented. Firstly, a field trial experimental setup ...
