Supply Chain Forum An International Journal Vol. 5 N°2 2004 www.supplychain-forum.com Management is on the verge of a major breakthrough in understanding how industrial company success depends on the interaction between the flow of information, materials, money, manpower, and capital equipment (Forrester, 1958). Forrester’s words seem to have taken four decades to materialize. The long-awaited ...

in the process of agriculture renovation in the third world that is indeed unavoidable, the indigenous agriculture knowledge and local methods in management of agriculture resources is to be destroyed and simultaneity environmental regions are on the verge of destruction. Modern agriculture prefers huge profit from resources and didn't pay attention to environmental, cultural, social and econom...

BACKGROUND & AIMS The purpose of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the rate and the prognostic factors for down-staging and complete response for rectal adenocarcinoma after induction chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery, and to analyze the rate of sphincter-saving surgery. METHODS We included from March 2011 to October 2013 a number of 88 patient...

After centuries of little change, the role of the Guru or a teacher as it has been traditionally defined and practiced in Thailand and the rest of South East Asia is on the verge of becoming an anachronism. Now it is Google, not the Guru who has all answers to the big questions of life and learning. New and emerging pedagogies are harnessing the power of Internet and Communication Technologies ...

We study dynamic bargaining with private information and a deadline. As commitment power disappears, there is a clear "deadline effect" that is, trade takes place smoothly before the deadline and with an atom right at the deadline. Prices, timing of trade and the deadline effect respond to the consequences of not reaching an agreement. Bleaker disagreement options lead to more trade and proport...

Two years later, we are on the verge of a breakthrough into Philips Product Divisions and now the spot-light is on testing. So far, we fabricated, tested, and characterized about 10 asynchronous IC designs. Recently, we developed a test method which is competitive with modern synchronous test methods in quality and test time [2, 3]. Tangram is poised for CAT success (and in need of a new catch-...

The road coloring problem is an interesing problem proposed over 40 years ago by Adler, Goodwyn and Weiss. Hundreds of mathematicians worked on this problem and failed to make the conjecture a theorem. Finally, in 2007, it was proved by a 60-year-old Israeli mathematician, Avraham Trahtman. It turns out the prove was quite simple after Trahtman partitioned the graph into cycles and trees. The d...

PURPOSE The expression of p53 in patients with rectal cancer who underwent preoperative chemoradiation and and its potential prognostic significance were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS p53 expression was examined using immunohistochemistry in pathologic specimens from 210 rectal cancer patients with preoperative chemoradiotherapy and radical surgery. All patients were classified into two gr...

Objective This study was performed to investigate the incidence of and potential risk factors for rectal pain after laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 300 patients who underwent laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. We assessed the presence of rectal pain and categorized patients into Group N (no rectal pain) or Group P (rectal pain). Results In tota...

-In the present world the security vulnerabilities are highly challenging in MANET. To get the maximum security and minimum threat there is lots of work going on. To effectively isolate the malicious node this paper proposes a Neuro fuzzy algorithm. By using fuzzy logic we can further improve the security level by identifying the malicious node more accurately. The concept behind the paper is a...
