OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of surgical intervention for empty nose syndrome (ENS). DATA SOURCE Cochrane Collaboration database, U.S National Institutes of Health database (ClinicalTrials), U.S National Library of Medicine (PubMed). REVIEW METHODS Structured search using medical subject-heading terms: nose, turbinate, surgery, atrophic rhinitis, and empty nose syndrome. RESULTS A t...

Emotional strategies have been well discussed in the face-to-face negotiation, but few studies have explored its application in the electronic negotiation system (ENS). The popularity of enegotiation has made this issue critical not only to commercial negotiators or businesses, but to the researchers who studied negotiations and developers of ENS. Aiming to reveal the relationships between the ...

The viscoelastic effect of rubber material on creation of rolling resistance is responsible for 10-33% dissipation of supplied power at the tire/road interaction surface. So, evaluating this kind of loss is very essential in any analysis concerned with energy saving. The transient dynamic analysis for including the rolling effects of the tire requires long CPU time and the obtained results are ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) in mammals is derived from a small pool of progenitor cells, namely enteric neural crest cells (NCCs). These precursor cells proliferate extensively to expand, migrate over a long distance to fully colonize the developing gut and differentiate into millions of neurons and glia to form a functional ENS for regulating the complex behaviors of the gut. This develop...

The OKKAM project aims at enabling the Web of Entities, a global digital space for publishing and managing information about entities. The project provides a scalable and sustainable infrastructure, called the Entity Name System (ENS), for the systematic reuse of global and unique entity identifiers. The ENS provides a collection of core services supporting entity identifiers pervasive reuse. T...

BACKGROUND To determine the impact of a radiology electronic notification system (ENS) on emergency department (ED) patient care. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of de-identified patient data for a 2-year period (1 year prior to and 1 year following ENS implementation) was approved by the hospital's institutional review board. The effect of a radiology ENS on ED patient care was ...

Malta Medical Journal Volume 25 Issue 03 2013 Introduction Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) is a term first introduced by Kern and Moore which is used to describe a rare spectrum of various symptoms suffered by patients who had had previous radical turbinate surgery with a CT scan appearance of the paranasal sinuses after gross tissue loss. The most common symptom is socalled ‘‘paradoxical’’ nasal obs...

This paper studies power management in a grid-tied hybrid energy system consisting of photovoltaic array, wind turbine, fuel cell, electrolyzer, hydrogen storage tank and a combinational heating system to supply the thermal and electrical demand of a building. Moreover, the hybrid system is capable of exchanging power with local grid. Thus, variable daily buying and selling tariffs are also tak...
