A thorough understanding of nasal anatomy is essential to successful nasal reconstruction. Addressing deficiencies of the external soft-tissue envelope, nasal framework, and internal mucosal lining is an important part of achieving an optimal aesthetic and functional outcome. The nose is a highly contoured pyramidal structure situated centrally on the face. It is composed of skin, mucosa, bone,...

data envelope analysis (dea) is an approach to estimate the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus). several studies were conducted in order to prioritize efficient units and some useful models such as cross-efficiency matrix (cem) were presented.  besides, a number of dea models with interval data have been developed and ranking dmus with such data was solved. however, presenting a...

Sand coverings account for a large part of the cost of a project. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of different coatings for filtration of underground drains and reduce the cost of cornfield farms. The experiments were carried out in farm in Salman Farsi. The subsoil drainage was fitted to each test piece with a length of 120 meters, a diameter of 100 mm, and a distance ...

Background: Historically open surgical drainage has been the treatment of choice for pyogenic liver abscess. The records of 54 patients with pyogenic liver abscess were reviewed to determine whether earlier diagnosis with current imaging tests and definitive treatment with antibiotics and aspiration drainage was an effective alternative to surgery. Methods: The clinical features, laborator...

abstract although lateral drains play the main role in removal of excess water from soil profile in subsurface drainage systems, but it is assumed that perforated collectors can directly remove a part of drainwater from soils. this part of discharge in subsurface drains is not usually taken into consideration in drainage design criteria, due to lack required information and its difficult estima...

The required steam for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) oil sands operations is generated using a once-through generator (OTSG) that fed with relatively poor quality process water. Industries have reported possible solid particle erosion-related failure in the OTSG boiler tubes because of transport precipitated dense inorganic particles. However, presence other damage mechanisms, e.g. cor...

Enfuvirtide was the first marketed fusion inhibitor that worked by binding to glycoprotein 41 of HIV envelope, preventing conformational changes required for with CD4+ T cells. Due its novel mechanisms action, it frequently used in past as part regimens indication multi-class-resistant until newer oral agents emerged. Here, we describe case a 40-year-old man who enfuvirtide injections from 2012...

Abstract Climate change is expected to worsen flood risks by increasing precipitation in and around Surat City. Thus, study the effect of climate on City's stormwater drainage network, ranking general circulation models (GCMs) generation future annual maximum rainfall series needed, which has not been performed any reviewed present using a hybrid approach. The ‘hybrid approach’ refers combinati...
