  Fasting is a common practice among people with diabetes (PWD). As healthcare providers we are in a position to assist those who choose to fast to manage their diabetes effectively. Diabetes self-management education for PWD is needed both prior and during the time of fasting to best metabolic control.  

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...

in this paper, a new stage structured prey-predator model with linear functional response is proposed and studied. the stages for prey have been considered. the proposed mathematical model consists of three nonlinear ordinary differential equations to describe the interaction among juvenile prey, adult prey and predator populations. the model is analyzed by using linear stability analysis to ob...

To understand global changes in the Earth system, scientists must generalize globally from observations made locally and regionally. In land change science (LCS), local field-based observations are costly and time consuming, and generally obtained by researchers working at disparate local and regional case-study sites chosen for different reasons. As a result, global synthesis efforts in LCS te...

in recent decades, the theory of sustainable development has been introduced to several strands of science. this theory and its special view to communities (sustainable community development) as the cell of urban life, demonstrates the solution to urban problems by highlighting the meaning of city neighborhoods. in the local scale, it is essential to use a collaborative process of development, ...

The thesis of methodological individualism in social science is commonly divided into two different claims – explanatory individualism and ontological individualism. Ontological individualism is the thesis that facts about individuals exhaustively determine social facts. Initially taken to be a claim about the identity of groups with sets of individuals or their properties, ontological individu...
