Introduction: Delay in the diagnosis of tuberculosis increases the risk of death and enhances the transmission of disease in the community. This study aims to determine the patient and health service delay and factors affecting it in tuberculosis diagnosis. Materials & Methods: A cross-sectional survey that included all the public health centers was conducted in Markazi province from March 200...

During the last few years, new synchronization techniques to send data between IC’s at increasingly high datarates have been developed. Some of them rely on digital delay lines. The timing accuracy of the delay lines is crucial for a good functionality of the synchronization mechanism. This paper will present a strategy to measure the tap-delays of a digital delay-line, using the well-known osc...

We consider relativistic deformations of interfering paraxial waves moving in the transverse direction. Owing to superluminal transverse phase velocities, noticeable deformations of the interference patterns arise when the waves move with respect to each other with non-relativistic velocities. Similar distortions also appear on a mutual tilt of the interfering waves, which causes a phase delay ...

In this paper methods to determine the group delay of vented boxes and techniques for the design of filters for group delay equalization are presented. First the transfer function and the related group delay are explained. Then it is shown how the group delay can be computed or approximated for a certain alignment of the box. Furthermore it is shown how to derive the required parameters of the ...

This paper proposes a novel robust control scheme based on delay-dependent H∞for unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) in a microgrid under the influence of the delay and parameter uncertainties. A new UPQC model considering the effects of the delay and parameter uncertainties is established. Then, the H∞ controller is designed based on the cone complementarity linearization (CCL) algorithm....

objecitve: there have been contradictory findings on the relationship between socioeconomic status (ses) and child development although a wide range of results indicates that ses is associated with child development outcomes. the present study intended to define the relationship between ses and child development in tehran kindergartens. methods: this cross-sectional survey studied 1036 children...

time-delays are important components of many dynamical systems that describe coupling or interconnection between dynamics, propagation or transport phenomena, and heredity and competition in population dynamics. the stabilization with time delay in observation or control represents difficult mathematical challenges in the control of distributed parameter systems. it is well-known that the stabi...

in many signal processing applications, an appropriate measure to comparetwo signals plays a fundamental role in both implementing the algorithm andevaluating its performance. several techniques have been introduced in literature assimilarity measures. however, the existing measures are often either impractical forsome applications or they have unsatisfactory results in some other applications....

peach (prunus persica l. batsch.) is produced in most areas of iran, where flowering is hindered by temperature. using plant growth regulators to delay bloom is a suggestive measure to avoid frost damage. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of methyl jasmonate (mj) and salicylic acid (sa) on peach bloom delay and yield.  this study evaluated the applications of mj 0 (contro...
