Objective: Gastric dilatation also known as gastrointestinal obstruction or bloat is an acute and life-threatening condition in pet rabbits commonly caused by an intestinal obstruction with pellets, foreign bodies and compressed hair. Methods: In June 2014, a two years old male New Zealand white rabbit were referred to Karaj Central Veterinary hospital, Karaj, Iran with the history of acute ano...

purpose: primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (pando) is an acquired disease characterized by persistent symptoms such as tearing, mucus secretion, recurrent conjunctivitis and eye irritations. different etiologies such as conjunctival infections, and nasal and sinus diseases have been proposed. pathological studies have revealed inflammation, vascular congestion and edema in the earl...

OBJECTIVES This study characterizes left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient variability in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) during cardiac catheterization. BACKGROUND Management of HCM is directed by the presence and magnitude of LVOT obstruction. The magnitude and clinical impact of spontaneous variability during a single cardiac catheterization has not been described. ...

Patterns in nature result from dynamic relationships of forces and constraints. What is analogous for patterns in art? Art is created by human hands motivated by inspiration and thought. It is the product of creativity and skill. Creativity is constrained by cognitive processes and skill by the limits of technology. Based upon the author’s studies of Oriental carpets, this paper suggests that p...

Introduction Measures of farm diversification Data and model specification Econometric results Discussion Summary and conclusions Acknowledgements References Appendix Abstract. Farm planning often focuses on optimal diversification with respect to risk, where the riskmanagement strategies combine production, marketing, financial and environmental aspects of the farmfirm. In this study an empiri...

purpose: to determine long-term outcomes of probing in adult patients with nasolacrimal duct (nld) obstruction. methods: patients older than 20 years admitted in labaffinejad hospital with complete nasolacrimal duct obstruction were studied. the selected patients underwent probing under local anesthesia and cases with successful nld probing enrolled the study. patients were examined during the ...

A novel method is proposed to retrieve image sequences with the goal of forecasting complex and timevarying natural patterns. To that end, we introduce a framework called Memory-Based Forecasting; it provides forecast information based on the temporal development of past retrieved sequences. This paper targets the radar echo patterns in weather radar images, and aims to realize an image retriev...

Artificially produced chemical elements heavier than uranium have been known for more than seventy years and the number of superheavy elements continues to grow. Presently 26 transuranic elements are known. This paper examines the earliest scientific interest in the very heavy elements and the related question of an upper limit of the periodic system. In the period from the 1880s to the early 1...

Motivations for drawing hierarchical structures are probably as diverse as datasets to visualize. This ubiquity of tree structures has lead to a manifold of tree layout algorithms and tree visualization systems. While many tree layouts exist, increasingly massive data sets, expanding computational power, and still relatively limited display space make tree layout algorithms a topic of ongoing i...
