We carried out a retrospective case-control study in 80 patients who underwent a revision total hip replacement. Group A (40 patients) received tranexamic acid and intra-operative cell salvage. Group B (40 patients) was a matched control group and did not receive this management. Each group was divided into four subgroups: revision of both components, revision of both components with bone graft...

background: hemodialysis is a life-saving process used as a treatment for many patients sufferimg from renal failure. because of the large amount of water used in this process, contamination of hemodialysis water with microbial and harmful chemical pollutants is possible. therefore, considering standards of dialysis water is critical. the aim of this study was to investigate the microbiological...

Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) is a key technique for embedded systems to exploit multiple voltage and frequency levels to reduce energy consumption and to extend battery life. There are many DVS-based algorithms proposed for periodic and aperiodic task models. However, there are few algorithms that support the sporadic task model. Moreover, existing algorithms that support the sporadic model la...

the municipality of tehran is intending to construct a permanent international flower exhibition. the activities for construction began in the year 2006. the exhibition has three distinct areas namely “northern area”,”southern area” and “central area”. in northern and southern area the flowers are supposed to be preserved and in central area, they will be sold out. in the present st...

due to shortage of precipitation and the spatial and periodical disparity of rainfalls, iran iscounted among the arid and semi-arid countries of the world, and therefore the water utilities have put thecontrol of consumption and efficient use of water high on their priorities. water consumption management isconsidered as a field of energy management, and the impacts of effective measure related...

Cloud computing is a technology in distributed computing which facilitates pay per model based on user demand and requirement. Cloud can be defined as a collection of virtual machines. This includes both computational and storage facility. The goal of cloud computing is to provide efficient access to remote and geographically distributed resources. Cloud Computing is developing day by day and f...

Predictors are used in many subfields of computer architecture to enhance performance. Accurate estimations of future system behavior allow to develop policies to improve system performance or reduce power consumption. These policies become more efficient if predictors are implemented in hardware and are able to provide quantified forecasts, i.e. providing more than binary forecasts. One of the...
