PRIMARY OBJECTIVE The Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) is used to obtain information about executive and emotional problems after neuropathology. The DEX is self-completed by the patient (DEX-S) and an independent rater such as a family member (DEX-I). This study examined the level of inter-rater agreement between either two or three non-clinician raters on the DEX-I in order to establish the r...

background: surgical site infection is known as a common complication after cardiac surgery, and cefazolin is the best prophylactic antibiotic to prevent this complication. the goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous and intermittent cefazolin for the prevention of superficial surgical site infection following off-pump coronary artery bypass (opcab). methods: this prospectiv...

there is limited literature on how to engage the rural women in agriculture and improve their contributions to household food security and income. this study aimed to contribute to literature on women engagement in agriculture through vegetable production using good agricultural practices. the empirical data used were drawn from technology demonstrations and experimentation, learning fields, an...

The increasing number of construction projects together with the limited resources organizations led to tough competition for achieving project goals. Time, cost, and quality have been known as iron triangle. Project managers attempt allocate appropriate make best decisions accomplishing shortest durations, lowest costs, highest quality. No study has examined time–cost–quality trade-off problem...

Nowadays, bulk of the designers prefer to outsource some parts of their design and fabrication process to the third-part companies due to the reliability problems, manufacturing cost and time-to-market limitations. In this situation, there are a lot of opportunities for malicious alterations by the off-shore companies. In this paper, we proposed a new placement algorithm that hinders the hardwa...

In this paper we analyse the complexity of boolean functions takes value 0 on a sufficiently small number of points. For many functions this leads to the analysis of a single function attains 0 only on unsigned representation of numbers from 1 to d for various d. Here we obtain a tight bounds on the DNF complexity of complete functions in terms of the number of literals and conjunctions. The me...
