purpose : to evaluate efficacy, complications, and patient satisfaction using local anesthesia (la), in comparison to with general anesthesia (ga) in external dacryocystorhinostomy (dcr) methods : in this prospective study, 149 patients with complete nasolacrimal duct (nld) obstruction who were candidates for external dcr were randomized in 2 groups: ga 73 patients, and la 76 patients. intraope...

la problématique de l’autofiction qui domine la sphère de la littérature française contemporaine vient d’une part de la difficulté des critiques de se mettre d’accord sur une définition et d’autre part de la divergence dans les pratiques des autofictionneurs. alors que serge doubrovsky exige un pacte référentiel, d’autres comme vincent colonna et gérard genette demandent un pacte de lecture fic...

in this paper we determine the sequences of join spaces and atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets associated with all i.p.s. hypergroups of order less than or equal to 6, focusing on the calculation of their lengths.

the bottom trawl selectivity parameters (22mm cod-end mesh size) were determined for saurida undosquamis , mullus barbatus , upeneus pori , and pagellus erythrinus along karatas coasts of turkey in northeastern mediterranean waters during fishing season for the year 2002-2003. the lengths at first capture (l 50 ) values for s. undosquamis , m. barbatus , u. pori and p. erythrinus were 12.57, 9....

Hatchery-reared steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) often have lower fitness than natural-origin fishwhen spawning in the wild. Fitness loss in hatcheries is partly due to genetic adaptation to captivity (domestication), but the underlying selection pressures driving adaptation remain unknown. Circumstantial evidence suggests that adaptation to hatcheries is accelerated when fish are reared at high...

Feature selection is of great importance in Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis. This problem has been solved using some meta-heuristic algorithms such as: GA, PSO, ACO, SA and so on. In this work two novel hybrid meta-heuristic algorithms i.e. Sequential GA and LA (SGALA) and Mixed GA and LA (MGALA), which are based on Genetic algorithm and learning automata for QSAR f...

Les bandes fibreuses formees a la suite de la rupture partielle du sac amniotique, provoquent chez le toetus, des malformations distales associees parfois aux lesions craniofaciales.  - oedeme monstrueux de la main droite, - syndactylie distale des ·doigts de la main gauche, - equino-varus du pied droit.

Age structure of the Caspian Sea anchovy kilka, Clupeonella engrauliformis, was estimated for the first time by back-calculation methods. Otolith growth and the rate of increment in anchovy kilka were examined to determine whether otoliths could be used to back calculate body sizes at various life stages. Sampling was carried out on commercial fishing vessels board along the Iranian coast in 20...
