Thickness stretching effect based on shear and normal deformation theory is used in this paper for magneto-electro-elastic vibration analysis of a three-layered curved nanobeam including a nano core and two piezo-magnetic layers. Size-dependency is included in derivation of governing equations of motion based Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. The initial curvature is accounted in calculatio...

aim and background: in recent years, experts in the field of obsessive-compulsive disorder have been trying to measure the validity and efficiency of pharmaceutical interventions. the meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of medication on symptoms of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. methods and materials: this meta-analysis was conducted on studies during the past decade in iran...

We consider uncertainty quantification in the context of certification, i.e. showing that that the probability of some “failure” event is acceptably small. In this paper, we derive a new method for rigorous uncertainty quantification and conservative certification by combining McDiarmid’s inequality with input domain partitioning and a new concentration-ofmeasure inequality. We show that arbitr...

When we deal with astrometric observations spread over periods longer than a few years, it is of major importance to take into consideration the proper motions of all objects involved in the reduction process. Not to consider such quantities, mainly when they are poorly known to the majority of the objects, may significantly degrade the final results of the reduction. In this paper, we present ...

In this work, boehmite sol was prepared by a previously applied and validated method; hydrolysis of aluminum chloride hexa-hydrate. In order to obtain precise results, the effect of pH after adding precipitating agent, aging time, peptizing temperature and ultrasonic vibration time on the crystallite size of final precipitate were investigated in a narrow range. The preparation conditions appli...

The word-based account of saccades drawn by a central gravity of the PVL is supported by two pillars of evidences. The first is the finding of the initial fixation location on a word resembled a normal distribution (Rayner, 1979). The other is the finding of a moderate slope coefficient between the launch site and the landing site (b=0.49, see McConkie, Kerr, Reddix, & Zola, 1988). Four simulat...

Introduction: Many theories have been proposed about the etiology of autism. One is related to brain connectivity in patients with autism. Several studies have reported brain connectivity changes in autism disease. This study was performed on Electroencephalogram (EEG) studies that evaluated patients with autism, using functional brain connectivity, and compared them with typically-developing i...

Surface nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a non-invasive geophysical method that can provide valuable information about aquifer properties related to groundwater flow and storage. Our ability to extract such information from surface NMR data, however, is limited by an insufficient understanding of the relaxation parameter T2 * governing the decay rate of the surface NMR signal in Earth’s magn...
