Abstract. Assessing the relationship between intensity, duration, and frequency (IDF) of extreme precipitation is required for design water management systems. However, when modeling sub-daily extremes, there are commonly only short observation time series available. This problem can be overcome by applying duration-dependent formulation generalized value (GEV) distribution which fits an IDF mo...

background: auto-acupressure is an effective pain treatment method in various conditions. the aim of this study was determining of auto-acupressure efficacy in patients with migraine. methods: 48 voluntary subjects were selected using convenience sampling method and randomized into two, auto-acupressure (25 patients) and control (23 patients), groups.  intervention for the treatment group inclu...

chainsaw is an important machine for tree felling limbing and bucking in hyrcanian forest and the major problems related to using forest machines was sound intensity. the aim of this study was to measure the sound level in occupational exposure of workers, determine the exposure time of workers and comparison of the variables among the workers. this study was carried out in namkhaneh district i...

Intensity and duration are two central characteristics of an emotional response. Appraisals and regulation strategies are among the most important determinants of these emotion features. However, as intensity and duration are only moderately correlated, appraisals and regulation strategies may be differently related to these characteristics. A systematic empirical study comparing predictors of ...

introduction: electrical low-frequency stimulation (lfs) has antiepileptic effect, but the role of different stimulation parameters on this effect has not been determined. in this study the effect of different lfs parameters (intensity, pulse duration and train duration) on piriform-cortex kindled seizures was investigated. methods: seizure was produced in animals using kindling model of epilep...

the purpose of this research is to analyze heat waves characteristics in the warm period of the year as a climatic hazard in iran. in this study, the daily maximum temperature is taken at 44 synoptic stations during the period 1981-2010. these temperature values were used to extract the intensity, frequency and duration of heat waves using percentile thresholds of 90, 95, and 98. the results sh...

in order to study the effect of intensity and exposure duration magnetic field on wheat (triticum aestivum l.) seed germination an experiment was conducted in laboratory of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the experiment was including 11 treatments as three level of magnetic field intensities (pretreatment of seeds with 50, 100 and 150 mt magnetic field) and three exposure durations (10, 2...
