Osteolysis is a silent disease leading to aseptic loosening. This has not been studied in a cohort of asymptomatic patients. The aim of this study was to detect factors that might be associated with the development of periacetabular osteolysis and wear around an uncemented cup. We assessed 206 patients with an uncemented cup, measuring wear and periacetabular osteolysis using computed tomograph...

OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between central corneal thickness (CCT) and visual field parameters, cup-to-disc ratio and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients in Songklanagarind Hospital. MATERIAL AND METHOD A Retrospective analytical study of the medical records of primary open-angle glaucoma patients, between January 2006 and April 2...

objective the standard of hygiene in daily life and hospitals can be increased by the use of new antimicrobial fibers, which diminish the danger of pathogenic bacteria. in this study, the antimicrobial effect of special fibers on some staphylococcus isolates was investigated. materials and methods the antimicrobial effect of special type of fibers produced in isfahan poly acryl plant on three s...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the design of a cup using finite element method and to analyze possible effects of joint loading postoperatively, and its initial mechanical stability, so as to direct its further optimization. Finite‐element (FE) models of the cup with three wings and the hemispherical cup were created to calculate the stress pattern...

car license plate recognition is addressed in this paper. given the development of intelligent transportation systems, it is absolutely essential to implement a strong license plate recognition system. efforts were made to put forward a novel reliable method for car license plate recognition in iran. each license plate recognition system comprises three main parts. the first part is the license...

There is a growing interest in food industry to replace the synthetic chemicals by the natural products with bioactive properties from plant origin. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition of Mentha pulegium essential oil and to characterize the antimicrobial activities of the essential oil. The essential oil of Mentha pulegium was analyzed by GC-MS. The evaluation of th...

In this paper, a two-phase method for computer network intrusion detection is proposed. In the first phase, a set of patterns (data) are clustered by the fuzzy c-means algorithm. In the second phase, outliers are constructed by a distance-based technique and a class label is assigned to each pattern. The KDD Cup 1999 data set is used for the experiment. The results show that, for binary classif...
