BACKGROUND Mood and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent and have a large impact on the lives of the affected individuals. Therefore, optimal treatment of these disorders is highly important. In this study we will examine the effectiveness of a stepped care program for primary care patients with mood and anxiety disorders. A stepped care program is characterized by different treatment steps t...

abstract: this study was conducted to investigate the effects of diets containing different levels of hull-less barley on caecal microflora of broiler chicks. two hundred and forty one-day old male broiler chicks (arbor acres strain) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 tratments, and 3 replicates were allocated to each treatment. different levels of hull-less barley in diets had ...

Air-water flow experiments were conducted on some flat and pooled stepped spillways with slopes of 8.9° and 26.6° in transition and skimming flows. The study comprised the observations of the flow patterns, characteristic air-water flow properties, and energy dissipation performances. The air-water flow properties showed some differences in terms of interfacial velocity, bubble count rate, and ...

This article gives an overview of the concept of the Visual Hull and what its advantages and disadvantages are. The Visual hull is a concept of a 3D reconstruction by a Shape-From-Silhouette (SFS) technique. This kind of 3D scene reconstruction first has been introduced by Baumgart in his PhD thesis in 1974 [1]. Since then there have been several different variations of the Shape-From-Silhouett...

A set S of vertices of a connected graph G is convex, if for any pair of vertices u, v ∈ S , every shortest path joining u and v is contained in S . The convex hull CH(S ) of a set of vertices S is defined as the smallest convex set in G containing S . The set S is geodetic, if every vertex of G lies on some shortest path joining two vertices in S, and it is said to be a hull set if its convex ...

In this paper, a CFD analysis on the bare hull form of submarines or torpedoes for minimizing the resistance is represented. There are several parameters in submarine form design which the most important parameter is resistance. All operational characteristics of submarines are related to the resistance, related required power and then, underwater speed and range. Other parameters are only ment...

A lightning stepped leader model is developed. To predict the stepped leader is important to protect installations at ground against lightning. The numerical technique TLM (Transmission-line matrix) is applied.
