Permanent facial paralysis is a catastrophic event for involved patients. In long lasting paralysis with severe facial muscles atrophy, masseter muscle transfer is a very good choice. But its greatest problem is postoperative elongation of flap and gradual diminishing of early results and loss of symmetry. This article advocate a new modification for resolving this problem with concomitant el...

Imaging spectroscopy provides the opportunity to monitor nutrient status of vegetation. In crops, prior studies have generally been limited in scope, either a small wavelength range (e.g., 400–1300 nm), number crop cultivars, single growth stage or growing season. Methods that are not time- site-specific needed use imaging for routine monitoring status. Using data from four cultivars potatoes (...

In article number 2300137, Nathan J. Ray, Jae-Hyuck Yoo, Hoang T. Nguyen, and Eyal Feigenbaum demonstrate the ability to generate all-glass metasurfaces that exhibit negligible reflection across broad wavelength band 350 nm (ultraviolet) 2350 (mid-infrared), i.e., virtually entire solar spectrum for both polarizations acceptance angles up 100° (angle of incidence = ±50°). This is done by dry et...

abstract   background : cancer has not been elucidated in colerectal site. c-reactive protein (crp) is a product synthesized in hepatocytes and has been reported to be up-regulated by such proinflammatory cytokines as interleukin-1 (il-1), interleukin-6 (il-6), and tumor necrosis factor (tnf). the significance of a preoperative serum elevation was evaluated using crp as a predictive indicator f...

this paper develops new results on the use of model predictive control to regulate the attitude of a ground station antenna. two degree of freedom az-el pedestal is considered as ground station antenna. permanent magnet synchronous motors are taken into consideration as the best choice for satisfaction of control objectives as actuators. the design is based on a two cascade controller consist o...

the universal thermal climate index (utci) addresses these shortcomings by using an advanced thermo-physiological model. the aim of this study was to investigate and prepare zoning of thermal comfort condition using utci. meteorological data including temperature, wind speed, cloudiness and relative humidity were obtained on a daily time scale from 10 synoptic stations during (2004-2013) period...

SUMMARY  An abnormal increase in serum potassium afte-r administration of suxamethonium is known to occur in the treatment of burns, trauma, teta­nus and neurological disorders. A table shows how long this abnormal reaction lasts approxi­mately in the different categories. A few cases of cardiac arrest following suxamethonium in­jection are described in detail. The pa;thogene­sis of this abnor...

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are used to estimate different morphologies, analysis of river profile, delineating drainage basin and drainage pattern associated with lithological and structural changes. The study area is Maroon River located in Khuzestan Province, Iran. In this study geomorphometric analysis based on DEM carried out to understand Maroon river uplift rate and tectonic- erosion...

abstract: background: the c-reactive protein (crp) is a product synthesized in hepatocytes and has been reported to be up-regulated by such proinflammatory cytokines as interleukin-1 (il-1), interleukin-6 (il-6), and tumor necrosis factor (tnf). the significance of a preoperative serum elevation in crp as a predictive indicator for the malignant potential and prognosis in colorectal cancer has ...
