the universal thermal climate index (utci) addresses these shortcomings by using an advanced thermo-physiological model. the aim of this study was to investigate and prepare zoning of thermal comfort condition using utci. meteorological data including temperature, wind speed, cloudiness and relative humidity were obtained on a daily time scale from 10 synoptic stations during (2004-2013) period...

AIM To correct the misclassification in registered gastric cancer incidence across Iranian provinces in cancer registry data. METHODS Gastric cancer data is extracted from Iranian annual of national cancer registration report 2008. A Bayesian method with beta prior is implemented to estimate the rate of misclassification in registering patient's permanent residence in neighboring province. Ea...

Abstract The Variogram Analysis of Response Surfaces (VARS) has been proposed by Razavi and Gupta as a new comprehensive framework in sensitivity analysis. According to these authors, VARS provides more intuitive notion is much computationally efficient than Sobol’ indices. Here we review arguments critically compare the performance VARS-TO, for total-order index, against Jansen estimator. We a...

A relativistic version of the Aharonov-Bohm time-of-arrival operator for spin-0 particles was constructed by Razavi [Il Nuovo Cimento B 63, 271 (1969)]. We study in detail taking its rigged Hilbert space extension. It is shown that extension provides more insights into problem goes beyond Razavi's original results. This allows us to use eigenfunctions exhibit unitary arrival construct distribut...
