The aim of this study was to report our experience with the Soave pull-through procedure combined with a single-incision laparoscopic approach to treat Hirschsprung's disease after one-stage colostomy, in comparison with an open approach. A total of 37 children diagnosed with Hirschsprung's Disease after one-stage colostomy were evaluated in this study from June 2008 to May 2014. Nineteen patie...

In plants, leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RKs) perceive ligands, including peptides and small molecules, to regulate various physiological processes. TDIF, a member of the CLE peptide family, specifically interacts with the LRR-RK TDR to inhibit meristem differentiation into tracheary elements, and promotes cell proliferation. Here we report the crystal structure of the extracel...

In linear text classification, user feedback is usually used to tune up the representative keywords (RK) for a certain class. Despite some algorithms (e.g. Rocchio) deal well with user positive and negative feedback to adjust the RKs, few researches have investigated how to adjust RKs only based on a small positive responses which is a popular case in the real-world application (e.g. users tend...

Total colonic aganglionosis (TCA) is an uncommon and severe form of intestinal developmental malformation. The aim of this study is to identify the prognostic factors in children with TCA treated with the Soave procedure. Forty-three children with TCA who were treated with the Soave procedure between February 2008 and August 2013 were included in the study and followed up. Follow-up data were c...

This study investigates how reverse knowledge spillover (RKS) generated through outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) promotes sustainable development in an home country. Economic, social, and environmental dimensions are the pillars of their indicators developed upon concept institutional quality. To this end, we use a balanced panel 30 Chinese Mainland provinces from 2003 to 2016 employ si...

The rational Krylov sequence (RKS) method can be seen as a generalisation of Arnoldi’s method. It projects a matrix pencil onto a smaller subspace; this projection results in a small upper Hessenberg pencil. As for the Arnoldi method, RKS can be restarted implicitly, using the QR decomposition of a Hessenberg matrix. This restart comes with a projection of the subspace using a rational function...

It is shown that the entropy of fourdimensional black holes in string theory compactified on weighted Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces shows scaling behavior in a certain limit. This leads to non-monotonic functions on the moduli space. Email address: [email protected], [email protected]

In a deregulated market, energy can be exchanged like commodity and the market agents including generators, distributors, end consumers trade independently settling price, volume, supply terms. Bilateral contracts (BCs) have been applied to hedge against price volatility in electricity spot market. This work introduces model find all solutions for equilibria implementing Raiffa–Kalai–Smorodinsk...
