The Effect of Training Flow Chart Behavioral Management Program by Mobile to Mothers of Children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder for Reducing Oppositional and Hyperactivity Symptoms: one-single sample experimental study

Introduction: Opposition and hyperactivity are among behaviors of children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Nowadays, due to the changes in life style and busy life, direct referring to health provider is difficult. Therefore, the present study was done to examine the effectiveness of training behavior management flowchart by mobile to mothers for reducing oppositional and hyperactivity symptoms in children with oppositional defiant disorder. Method: This research was done in Tehran/ Iran in 2018 and through single case experiment by A-B model. Four mothers whose children had gained high scores of ODD were selected for training in eighth sessions of 60-90 minutes. Mothers received the training program of behavior management for six virtual sessions through mobile phone and two in person sessions. Data were analyzed using chart, improve percent and RCI. Results: The overall improvement was 61.43% for defiant and 69.74% for hyperactivity. In one-month follow up, both mentioned variables improved (75.77% and 79.47% respectively). According to the results, the two hypotheses were clinically significant. Conclusion: The mobile health technology is a low cost, available, and suitable method for mental health services and can be used as a complementary health service for mothers who have a child with oppositional defiant disorder

Application of traveling salesman problem in generating a collision-free tool path in drilling

In machining, the tool path is generated according to the workpiece geometry and arrangement of holes. Majority of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software offer a set of predefined strategies to choose from. These tool paths are mostly far from being the optimum path, specifically for complex geometries with non-flat surfaces. This thesis introduces a new algorithm based on Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). The proposed local search algorithm generates an optimum collision free tool path in drilling operations. The developed optimization algorithm considers multiple constraints such as location of tool origin and presence of obstacles. Furthermore, a discussion on stopping criteria for the developed algorithm is presented. Obtained results confirm the proposed algorithm is capable of providing optimum collision free path with more than 50% reduction (in given examples) in path length compared to the HSMWorks software

The study of oil incomes on the employment in Iran based on auto regression model with wide intervals

Unemployment is so important and sensitive that in most of developing countries, high unemployment rate is considered as one of the most important signs of underdevelopment. It is clear that employment creation in any economic sector needs investing. On the other hand, oil incomes have been always considered as one of the main resources of state income in the economy. Because oil has a double role both in providing energy needed for economic development plan and providing currency needs of these plans, it is a driving force and key sector of national economy. Given to the mentioned issues by ARDL method, this research studies the effect of oil and nonoil incomes on the employment in Iran during 1961-2006. The method of error correction model was used in order to estimate the short-term relationship between variables in which most variables were meaningful at 90% level and the coefficient of error correction term equaled -0.2436 that shows 0.24 adjustment of imbalance of one period in employment during next period and so adjustment toward balance is slow. R2 value is also 0.98 that indicates high explanatory power of pattern. In long-term adjustment relationship, intercept has no effect and according to unit root hypothesis test, there is long-term adjustment relationship between variables of pattern and all variables are meaningful. Coefficient of oil and nonoil incomes variables is positive and revolution dummy variable is positive and the coefficient of gross domestic production and dummy variable for years of war is negative

The Effectiveness of training of self-help program toward the parenthood on worry in pregnancy period among the nulliparous women

Background and objective: accept of parenting duty needs the psychological and emotional readiness. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of training of self-help program toward the parenthood on worry in pregnancy period among the nulliparous women. Methods:The research method of present study was semi-experimental research with pre-posttest with control group. The study population included 30 nulliparous women who were referred to the health center in 3 phase of Andisheh city, Tehran by 2017. The women were selected by simple randomized sampling and were assigned to two groups (each group was 15 women).

Covalent modification of reduced graphene oxide with piperazine as a novel nanoadsorbent for removal of H2S gas

In the present research, piperazine grafted-reduced graphene oxide RGO-N-(piperazine) was synthesized through a three-step reaction and employed as a highly efficient nanoadsorbent for H2S gas removal. Temperature optimization within the range of 30–90 °C was set which significantly improved the adsorption capacity of the nanoadsorbent. The operational conditions including the initial concentration of H2S (60,000 ppm) with CH4 (15 vol%), H2O (10 vol%), O2 (3 vol%) and the rest by helium gas and gas hour space velocity (GHSV) 4000–6000 h−1 were examined on adsorption capacity. The results of the removal of H2S after 180 min by RGO-N-(piperazine), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and graphene oxide (GO) were reported as 99.71, 99.18, and 99.38, respectively. Also, the output concentration of H2S after 180 min by RGO-N-(piperazine), RGO, and GO was found to be 170, 488, and 369 ppm, respectively. Both chemisorption and physisorption are suggested as mechanism in which the chemisorption is based on an acid–base reaction between H2S and amine, epoxy, hydroxyl functional groups on the surface of RGO-N-(piperazine), GO, and RGO. The piperazine augmentation of removal percentage can be attributed to the presence of amine functional groups in the case of RGO-N-(piperazine) versus RGO and GO. Finally, analyses of the equilibrium models used to describe the experimental data showed that the three-parameter isotherm equations Toth and Sips provided slightly better fits compared to the three-parameter isotherms

On the Modelling and Numerical Simulation of Non-Newtonian Blood Flow in an Aneurysm

Cardiovascular diseases, specifically cerebral aneurysms, represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality, having a significant impact on the cost and overall status of health care. In the present work, we employ a haemorheological blood model originally proposed by Owens to investigate the haemodynamics of blood flow through an aneurytic channel. This constitutive equation for whole human blood is derived using ideas drawn from temporary polymer network theory to model the aggregation and disaggregation of erythrocytes in normal human blood at different shear rates. To better understand the effect of rheological models on the haemodynamics of blood flow in cerebral aneurysms we compare our numerical results with those obtained with other rheological models such as the Carreau-Yasuda (C-Y) model. The results show that the velocity profiles for the Newtonian and the Owens models are approximately similar but differ from those of the C-Y model. In order to stabilize our numerical simulations, we propose two new stabilization techniques, the so-called N-Owens and I-Owens methods. Employing the N-Owens stabilization method enables us to capture the effect of erythrocyte aggregation in blood flow through a cerebral aneurysm at higher Weissenberg (We) and Reynolds (Re) numbers than would otherwise be possible.Comment: 21 pages, 20 figures, 2 appendixe
