BACKGROUND Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a genetic hematological disorder characterized by red blood cells that assume abnormal, rigid, and sickle shape. The musculoskeletal complications of SCA result from vessel occlusion, leading to tissue ischemia and infarction and progressive end organ damage. AIM The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of musculoskeletal complications among ch...

The consequence relation and perfect usage of derivation is a necessary knowledge for layers, economists, engineers and for hundreds of other different professionals. Students in the low and mid level education system are able to solve simple logical puzzles without any special training, but some of the puzzles in Smullyan’s books present a challenge even for university students. Some of the lo...

in this work, we define a fuzzy soft set theory and its related properties. we then define fuzzy soft aggregation operator that allows constructing more efficient decision making method. finally, we give an example which shows that the method can be successfully applied to many problems that contain uncertainties.

Sustainable product development is currently of concern by scientists within both academia and engineering. Despite existing literature proposed related to detailed aspects for design for sustainability (D4S), the modeling of life cycle driving forces for D4S in different levels remains insufficient. A morphological analysis (MA) approach was applied to explore the strategies in sustainable pro...

Abstract This document analyzes issues involved in the transition of "unmanaged networks" from IPv4 to IPv6. Unmanaged networks typically correspond to home networks or small office networks. A companion paper analyzes out t...

It has been gathering great deal of attention to provide personalized services in the home or in the small office. As a necessary technology for it, person recognition by pressure sensors on a chair is described. It exploits the hipprints of users. Such a method makes it possible to automatically login to a computer when the user sits. The recognition rate reached to 99.6% for 5 people and 98.4...

Purpose – Proposes providing an insight about factors affecting business-to-business ecommerce adoption and implementation in small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), highlighting similarities and differences between Danish and Australian SMEs. Design/methodology/approach – The research is based on a wide literature review, focused on proposing a theoretical model of technological, environment...

This paper describes a Windows NT/95 utility, the CPU Power Regulator (CPR), which improves the capability of Windows NT/95 in servicing time-critical applications. CPR considers a distance model 4] to service time-critical applications such as multimedia softwares and electronic games in a timely fashion. Distinct from the past work 7, 8, 9], CPR adopts a user-level control mechanism to manage...

in this paper, based in the l ukasiewicz logic, the definition offuzzifying soft neighborhood structure and fuzzifying soft continuity areintroduced. also, the fuzzifying soft proximity spaces which are ageneralizations of the classical soft proximity spaces are given. severaltheorems on classical soft proximities are special cases of the theorems weprove in this paper.
