In this paper, we consider a flow shop scheduling problem with bypass consideration for minimizing the sum of earliness and tardiness costs. We propose a new mathematical modeling to formulate this problem. There are several constraints which are involved in our modeling such as the due date of jobs, the job ready times, the earliness and the tardiness cost of jobs, and so on. We apply adapte...

An experiment was conducted in early lactating buffaloes for the period of 3 months in Jadakheria and Polisimal village of LimkhedaTaluka in Dahod district of Gujarat to assess the effect of supplementation of bypass fat on milk production, composition, body weight change and economic efficiency. Forty buffaloes in their 2nd and 3rd lactation were equally divided in completely randomized design...

UNLABELLED Atrioventricular bypass tract deflections were recorded in five patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome using standard, closely spaced (5 mm) electrode catheters. Three right paraseptal and two left-sided Kent bundles were recorded at the level of the tricuspid valve on the His bundle catheter and in the coronary sinus, respectively. Characteristics of the bypass tracts were...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the effects of two different perfusion techniques: conventional cardiopulmonary bypass and miniature cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiac surgery at the University Hospital of Santa Maria--RS. METHODS We perform a retrospective, cross-sectional study, based on data collected from the patients operated between 2010 and 2013. We analyzed th...

background: peripheral vascular injury associated with lower limb trauma is a well-known emergency. the experience for the management of popliteal artery trauma have mainly come from managing the traumas of military personnels during iran-iraq war. the present study compared the effects of two currently-used surgical techniques in the management of popliteal trauma, namley femoropopliteal bypas...

BACKGROUND Long-term patency of extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) vein bypass is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE We report our experience of patency of arterial pedicle grafts and interposition vein grafts for the purpose of EC-IC bypass. METHODS We analyzed 294 consecutive patients who underwent 178 intracranial arterial pedicle bypass procedures and 152 intracranial vein bypass procedures...

Objective(s): The preclinical reports have shown that specific probiotics like Bifidobacterium bifidum (B. bifidum) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) can be applied as the biotherapeutic agents in the inhibition or therapy of colorectal cancer via the modification of gut bacteria. In the previous studies, we have assessed the impact of L. acidophilus and B...

heparin- induced thrombocytopenia (hit) is an antibody mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy which is classified into two subtypes, hit i which is non-immune, spontaneously reversible thrombocytopenia and; hit ii which is an autoimmune-mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy. in this case report, we described a 65-year old male patient with hit ii after coronary artery bypass grafting. ...
