Prevalence of different aggression types and some related risk indicators were studied in 434 dogspresented to the School of Veterinary Medicine at Shiraz University over a one-year period (From March2010 to June 2011). After taking case histories and examining all dogs, related questionnaires werecompleted for each dog and the nine classical types of aggression were evaluated. 25.3% of all cas...

This paper investigates the $p$-center location problem on a network in which vertex weights and distances between vertices are uncertain. The concepts of the $alpha$-$p$-center and the expected $p$-center are introduced. It is shown that the $alpha$-$p$-center and the expected $p$-center models can be transformed into corresponding deterministic models. Finally, linear time algorithms for find...

The new techniques in seismic design of structures are usually attributed to high damping ratios. In such systems, the assumption of classical (i.e. proportional) damping is not valid and in most cases they should be considered as Non-classical systems. Since the analytical tools for studying the behavior of such structures are not easily available, the present work attempts to find the limits,...

descriptions of traditional therapeutic devices which clutter most other textbooks of medicine are wisely omitted in favor of concise directions in the light of modern therapeusis. Where indicated, thoroughness is not sacrificed to brevity-as for example, in the section on treatment of diphtheria the technic of tracheal intubation is described in detail. This reviewer suspects that, with the gr...

Occasionally, medical decisions have to be taken in the absence of evidence-based guidelines. Other sources can be drawn upon to fill in the gaps, including experience and intuition. Authorities or experts, with their knowledge and experience, may provide further input--known as "eminence-based medicine". Due to the Internet and digital media, interactions among physicians now take place at a h...

discussion while this novel type of drug delivery is known as a suitable substitute for oral and parenteral administration, it was well accepted and extensively mentioned in persian medical and pharmaceutical manuscripts and other traditional systems of medicine as well. accordingly, medieval pharmaceutical standpoints on nasal dosage forms could still be an interesting subject of study. theref...
