background: tissue expanders are devices which are used to create enough skin to form suitable flap in restoration of great skin deficiencies which are not modified initially. the current study aimed at investigating the patients’ satisfaction and the complications such as rupture, hematoma, wound infection, seroma, leakage, chronic pain, and expander expose of internal (implanted under the ski...

Concerning the information asymmetry, subjectivity and other problems in the prediction of port customer credit risk level, a port customer credit risk evaluation system was designed, which provided the quantification base for port customer credit risk prediction. External-internal information fusion model was proposed for port customer credit risk prediction. Customers’ internal history inform...

Properly selected port sites for robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) improve the efficiency and quality of these procedures. In clinical practice, surgeons select port locations using external anatomic landmarks to estimate a patient's internal anatomy. This paper proposes an automated approach to port selection based on a preoperative image of the patient, thus avoiding the need...

Packet contention is one of the fundamental problems that must be overcome in designing packet switches. In banyan network, which has multistage interconnection structure of many small switch elements, we must be concerned with output port conflicts and internal collisions. Dilated banyan network which provides multiple path for internal link can reduce packet loss due to internal collisions in...

Background: The port catheters are used to give long-term total parenteral nutrition, intravenous fluids, blood and blood products, or to be preferred for oncology and hematological diseases. In this study, we sought to review our results concerning the subcutaneous port catheter appliance in childhood malignancies. Methods: Two hundred ten subcutaneous port catheters applied to 192 patients be...

The purpose of this paper is the modeling of a repository for modules and interfaces that must include all integrated information system management of a port terminal. Modules will provide a basic framework necessary for automatic management of internal operations and activities of all Port Terminals worldwide. Interfaces will provide a basic framework for the management external operations sub...

A new class of multi-port methods based on extension of input-output two-port methods of soft fault diagnosis of passive elements in analog circuits is presented. It uses accessible internal nodes of the tested analog circuit for additional measurements of circuit time responses. Thanks to this, the fault resolution increases, that is we obtain better fault localization coverage.

Purpose: The following investigation aims to deal with the competitive relationship among different warehouses & ports in the same company. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper, Game Theory is used in carrying out the optimization model. Genetic Algorithm is used to solve the model. Findings: Unnecessary competition will rise up if there is little internal communication among different wa...
