background: labor pain is one of the severest pains that cause many women request cesarean section for fear of pain. thus, controlling labor pain is a major concern of maternity care. nowadays, interest in non-pharmacological pain relief methods has been increased because of their lower side effects. the effects of discrete heat and cold on decreasing labor pain have been reported but there was...

   A low carbon Al-killed Ti-added steel was produced in Mobarakeh Steel Complex in Iran. Mechanical properties and microstructural characterizations of steel in the as-cast, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and annealed conditions are presented. Dilatometery tests were carried out to measure the finishing and annealing temperatures of steel. It was found that the addition of small amounts of Ti increas...

Mizaj (Temperament) is one of the basic concepts ofUnani system of medicine upon which diagnosis and line of treatment of a disease are based. Every human being has been furnished a specific Mizaj through which an individual performs his functions properly. If it is disturbed, body becomes more susceptible to develop such diseases having same temperament as that of an individual. Objective of t...

Several physicians, born in Empoli area, have an outstanding position in the history of medicine. First of all, we have to stress the great insights into anatomy and physiology that Leonardo (Vinci 1452 – Cloux 1519) realized about five centuries ago. The second scientist we want to introduce is Michele Mercati, who was born in San Miniato on 1541. He was educated at the University of Pisa, whe...

Effect of hot and cold dust charge on the propagation of dust-acoustic waves (DAWs) in unmagnetized plasma having electrons, singly charged ions, hot and cold dust grains have been investigated. The reductive perturbation method is employed to reduce the basic set of fluid equations to the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. The effect of cold (hot) dusty plasma density nc (nh) and the charge num...

In temperate regions, seasonal variability of environmental factors affects the bacterial community in source water and finished drinking water. Therefore, the bacterial core community and its seasonal variability in cold and the respective hot drinking water was investigated. The bacterial core community was studied by 16S rRNA-based SSCP fingerprint analyses and band sequencing of DNA and RNA...

BACKGROUND Spatial analysis is a relevant set of tools for studying the geographical distribution of diseases, although its methods and techniques for analysis may yield very different results. A new hybrid approach has been applied to the spatial analysis of treated prevalence of depression in Catalonia (Spain) according to the following descriptive hypotheses: 1) spatial clusters of treated p...

We propose an eecient dynamic load balancing scheme in cellular networks for managing tele-traac hot spot in which channel demand exceed a certain threshold. A hot spot, depicted as a stack of hexagonaìRings' of cells, is classiied as complete if all cells within it are hot. The rings containing only cold cells outside the hot spot are called`Peripheral Rings'. Our load balancing scheme migrate...
