The major global challenges we are facing today need to be addressed in the multifaceted context of economy, society, environment and technology (ESET). In recent years, the consensus of calling for sustainable development (SD) and implementation has emerged. Alongwith this belief, high added value, knowledge-based, competitive sustainable manufacturing (CSM) has been widely considered as main ...

OBJECTIVES To develop Arabic versions of English language questionnaires to estimate morningness/eveningness and sleep variables. METHODS We translated the Composite scale of morningness (CSM) and the sleep timing questionnaire (STQ) [with added siesta questions] into Arabic; the Arabic versions were then back translated. The revised Arabic and the original English versions were next administ...

BACKGROUND Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is typically encountered in the elderly population. Significant inconsistencies currently exist regarding the definition of the disorder, the true incidence of CSM in younger populations, and the established diagnostic criteria. OBJECTIVE To highlight the lack of standardization in the definition and diagnosis of CSM. METHODS A PubMed literat...

The effects of apple pomace diets on rumen microbial population, movement of ingesta from the rumen, and water intake were studied in two trials with beef steers. Trial 1 was a 5 • 5 Latin square in which five ruminal fistulated steers were fed either corn silage plus cottonseed meal (CSM), apple pomace plus CSM, apple pomace plus urea, apple pomace plus urea and starch, or apple pomace plus ur...

1. Six rumen and abomasal cannulated heifers were used to study the effects of intake on the fractional outflow rates (FOR) of chromium-mordanted cotton-seed meal (Cr-CSM) and meat meal (Cr-MM), CrEDTA, ytterbium and lignin from the rumen. Values of FOR of Cr-CSM and Cr-MM were combined with values of nitrogen disappearance from the protein supplements, placed in porous synthetic (nylon) bags a...

An electrocardiographic recording obtained during diagnostic evaluation of recurrent transient loss of consciousness in a 53-year-old man is presented. Carotid sinus massage (CSM), having elicited a ventricular asystole of >5s duration was deemed to have provided a possible diagnostic basis for syncope. However, apart from the pause and somewhat unexpectedly, CSM also suppressed preexisting fre...

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is emerging as the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction in the elderly worldwide. In the past decade, our understanding of the biomechanics of the spine has improved along with advances in spinal instrumentation and this has led to significant changes in the surgical management of CSM. This review will discuss the indications, advantages and limitat...

Cottonseed meal (CSM) is commonly used in hens' diets to replace soybean meal (SBM). However, the molecular consequences of this substitution remains unclear. To investigate the impact of this substitution at the molecular level, iTRAQ combined with biochemical analysis was performed in Hy-Line W-36 hens supplemented with a mixed diet of CSM and SBM. Egg weight, albumen height, and Haugh unit w...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intramedullary high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging was frequently observed in patients with CSM, although this finding does not well correlate with severity or prognosis of CSM. Instead of this nonquantitative information, another measure for CSM is desired. The work was focused primarily on assessing the relationships between ADC values and clinical and radiolog...

The new era in telecommunication with it’s evolving markets exposes all players to strong competition. Effective and efficient end-to-end service management is becoming a key factor for service providers and customers in today’s globalized and heterogeneous world. This paper proposes Customer Service Management (CSM) as a powerful instrument to enhance service management at the cutting edge of ...
