Business intelligence is one of the most promising approaches to achieve organizational success. A number of articles have set the basis for its development and implementation; see Jourdan, Rainer and Marshall (2008) for a review of the literature between 1997 and 2006. Leader companies have documented satisfactory experiences with real time business intelligence; see for instance the case of C...

Spatial thinking is essential for scientific thought; it is used to represent and manipulate information in learning and problem solving (Clements & Battista, 1992). It is also required in many intellectual endeavors such as solving problems in engineering, design, physics and mathematics (Smith, 1964; Pellegrino, Alderton & Shute, 1984). Enhancing students' spatial abilities is one of the role...

Efficacy of intraocular lens power calculation formulas in a subset of Indian myopic population. Retrospectively reviewed 43 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with high axial length (AL) (>24.5 mm, range 24.75-32.35 mm). The power of the implanted intraocular lens (IOL) was used to calculate the predicted post-operative refractive error by four formulas: Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK II)...

Today's multiple food manipulations may interact to produce a wide-spread difficult-toidentify synergistic malnutrition presenting as a highly idiosyncratic substrate-cat alystantinutrient vitamin-resistant Hoffer-type pellagra-beriberi mainly afflicting primates and accounting for the medically dominant modernization disease syndrome as a variant of the classical catalytic B vitamin-sensitive ...

purpose: to describe the biometric changes and their effect on intraocular lens (iol) power calculation after trabeculectomy and to compare the accuracy of four formulas namely srk/ii, srk/t, holladay and hoffer q for iol power calculation in these patients. methods: thirty-four eyes of 31 glaucoma patients who were scheduled for primary trabeculectomy were enrolled. a non-contact biometry devi...
