Background: According to recent estimates, approximately 4% 12% of Iranians experience difficulty in learning to read and spell, possibly as a result of developmental dyslexia. Objectives: The study was intended to investigate spelling error patterns among Persian children with developmental dyslexia and compare those patterns with the errors exhibited by control groups. Patients and Methods: S...

the objective of this review to be submitted in two independent parts, for steel frames and for rc frames, is to compare their structural performance with respect to the proposed n2-method, and so also of the consequent convenience of using pushover methodology for the seismic analysis of these structures. a preliminary investigation is presented on a pushover analysis used for the seismic perf...

Global clustering has rarely been investigated in the area of spatial dambase systems although dramatic performance improvements can be achieved by using suitable techniques. In this paper, we propose a simple approach to global clustering called cluster organization. We will demonstrate that this cluster organization leads to considerable performance improvements without any algorithmic ovedxa...

The study examined task interdependence as a structural factor, which influences the emergence of collective-efficacy versus self-efficacy as a team level construct. It tested for the differential effects of selfand collective-efficacy on team performance, and the effects of initial perceptions of selfand collective-efficacy and record of past performance on the development of their subsequent ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a technique that uses all collected observations to measure performance. this method presents no data about how to operate on dmu. the present research attempted to study a unit with all its subunits, if the unit is efficient, it means that all its subunits are efficient too and if it is an inefficient, it shows clearly that which one of the subunits makes ine...

In standard wavelet methods, the empirical wavelet coe cients are thresholded term by term, on the basis of their individual magnitudes. Information on other coe cients has no in uence on the treatment of particular coe cients. We propose and investigate a wavelet shrinkage method that incorporates information on neighboring coe cients into the decision making. The coe cients are considered in ...

process mining includes the automated discovery of petri nets from event logs. these event logs are the starting point for various discovery and analysis techniques of the process.  in this paper process model is developed using colored petri nets (cpns) and the supporting software package cpn tools. the restaurant process model is represented for the analysis using a combination of process min...

data envelopment analysis (dea) was developed to help compare the relative performance of decision-making units. it is a non-parametric method for performing frontier analysis. it uses linear programming to estimate the efficiency of multiple decision-making units and it is commonly used in production, management and economics [3]. dea generates an efficiency score between 0 and 1 for each unit...

introduction: establishing improvement in every organization requires assessment of organizational performance, planning and goal-setting to improve the performance. despite remarkable progresses occurred in recent years on designing the frameworks and performance evaluation systems, many organizations still rely on traditional criteria. therefore, according to the importance of performance eva...
