Introduction: The degree of patient readiness for DISCHARGE can be one of the important and influential factors in the outcomes of the post-DISCHARGE process. The purpose of this study is to determine the Relationship between Patient Readiness for Hospital DISCHARGE and Post-DISCHARGE Outcomes. Methods: The study is descriptive-correlational. Through convenient sampling 351 hospitalized patients in general wards were selected. The data collection procedure was done by using the Readiness for Hospital DISCHARGE Scale (RHDS), and research made post-DISCHARGE follow-up form. RHDS contain 8 items that measure 4 dimensions and in analysis mean score and standard deviation in the range of 0 to 10 reported. The post-DISCHARGE follow-up form includes 6 items with yes/no answers. There was not any restriction on the number of outcomes for each individual These items are related to possible and unforeseen consequences of one month after the patient's DISCHARGE from the hospital. Readiness for DISCHARGE as self-reported and its related outcomes were assessed by telephone communication 30 days after DISCHARGE. Collected data were analyzed by using SPSS version 21. 0 at a significance level of 0. 05. Results: The total score of readiness for hospital DISCHARGE scale (RHDS), was at a high level (7. 82 ± 1. 17). The mean score for readiness for hospital DISCHARGE had a significant relationship with the recovery outcomes (0. 028), readmission (0. 001), and death (0. 005). Conclusions: The results of the study showed to reduce the negative outcomes of hospital DISCHARGE, the patient's assessment of his condition at the time of DISCHARGE should be taken into consideration.

This paper reports the plasma DISCHARGE analysis of a dielectric barrier DISCHARGE (DBD) source. Helium is used as a working gas. The analysis is performed at fixed working pressure and operating frequency. The investigations are carried out using sinusoidal supply for the generation of DISCHARGEs where two current pulses have been observed with different polarities in one period. A homogeneous type of DISCHARGE has been observed for different operating conditions in this DBD source. Sincein situ diagnostics are not possible due to the small geometries in the used DBD source, the electrical measurements and spectroscopic analysis of the DISCHARGE have been performed to analyse the plasma DISCHARGE. The electrical analysis has been carried out using equivalent electrical circuit model.The plasma density and temperature within the DISCHARGE have been estimated using line ratio technique of the observed visible neutral helium lines. The estimated electron plasma density is found to be in close proximity with the plasma simulation code ‘OOPIC Pro’.

According to available statistics and information and given the population growth as well as the ever-increasing development of agriculture, there is an upward trend in withdrawals from surface water and groundwater resources in different regions of the country such as Mahabad to provide water for the region. The optimal conjunctive use of surface and groundwater resources is one way to providing the water demands in crisis and drought situations. In this study, a management model based on effective techniques of optimization and simulation has been developed to solve the optimization problem. Variation of groundwater table level in Mahabad plain was simulated using GMS software initially. Then based on the results of this simulation, artificial neural network was trained to use in simulate-optimization system. Genetic algorithm was used to solve the optimization problem. The results indicate that this model is powerful and effective for solving large-scale problems and optimal conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater resources of Mahabad. Based on the results obtained of the research and running of optimization conjunctive use quantitative model, the share of water supply of water resources, is respectively 13. 5 percent and 86. 5 percent of surface water and groundwater resource.
