purpose : to compare the outcome of surgery and postoperative complications between using manually dissected cornea in descemet’s stripping with endothelial keratoplasty (dsek) and using eye bank automated precut cornea in descemet’s stripping with automated endothelial keratoplasty (dsaek) methods : forty eyes with indication of endothelial keratoplasty (ek) were included in this randomized pr...

This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...

The face Detection methodsis used in order to provide security. The mentioned methods problems are that it cannot be categorized because of the great differences and varieties in the face of individuals. In this paper, face Detection methods has been presented for overcoming upon these problems based on skin color datum. The researcher gathered a face database of 30 individuals consisting of ov...

The Graduate Management Admission Council® (GMAC®) has long benefited from advances in automated essay scoring. When GMAC® adopted ETS® e-rater® in 1999, the Council’s flagship product, the Graduate Management Admission Test® (GMAT®), became the first large-scale assessment to incorporate automated essay scoring. The change was controversial at the time (Iowa State Daily, 1999; Calfee, 2000). T...

Distance education, reaching students through accessible, high quality, individualized instruction is a major challenge for today’s universities. Increased access to computers and the Internet has made this idea more feasible, but researchers are still working on the most effective ways to deliver individualized instruction in inexpensive, expandable ways. This paper explores the evolution of t...

The use of spreadsheets is widespread. Be it in business, finance, engineering or other areas, spreadsheets are created for their flexibility and ease to quickly model a problem. Very often they evolve from simple prototypes to implementations of crucial business logic. Spreadsheets that play a crucial role in an organization will naturally have a long lifespan and will be maintained and evolve...

Few topics have received as much attention in the cardiovascular literature over the last 5 years as risk prediction. The assessment of risk has been a key element in efforts to define risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), to identify novel markers of risk for CVD, to identify and assess potential targets of therapy, and to enhance the cost-effective implementation of therapies for bot...

We examined in a group of 15-year-old adolescents the retest reliability over one week of 7 subscales of the Automated Neuropsychological Metrics (ANAM), a computerized battery based on standard neuropsychological test measures that is one of several such batteries available to assess concussion effects. Since the principle behind these computerized batteries is to assess athletes before injury...
