Background: Cochlear implantation is an efficient treatment for postlingually deafened adults who do not benefit sufficiently from acoustic amplification. Implantation indicated when it can be foreseen that speech recognition with a cochlear implant (CI) superior to hearing aid. Especially subjects residual recognition, desirable predict CI outcome on the basis of preoperative audiological test...

although, single-sided linear induction motor (slim) utilization has increased in railway applications due to their numerous advantages in comparison to rotational induction motors (rim), there are some sophistication in their mathematical models and electrical drive. this paper focuses on the problems of slim modeling, with assuming end-effect on the basis of field oriented control (foc) as a ...

abstract in current study, an irrigation examination and acquisition of environmental water in kor-river fields, that is dominated from doroudzan dam to bakhtegan lake, was done by an integrated economy-environmental model. the model was considered by economic, hydrologic and agronomic components. in the economic component, an optimal harvesting of water was done using non-linear programming in...

Given a contact network that changes over time (say, day vs night connectivity), and the SIS (susceptible/infected/susceptible, flu like) virus propagation model, what can we say about its epidemic threshold? That is, can we determine when a small infection will “take-off” and create an epidemic? Consequently then, which nodes should we immunize to prevent an epidemic? This is a very real probl...
