Recent advances in information technology (IT) have drastically changed our life style. IT is also changing the features of stroke management. The review article by Dr. Heo and his colleagues addresses this important and interesting issue. IT and recent trends in stroke management have a number of things in common. For example, IT is characterized by its enormous speed, while early and speedy t...

The aim of this review is to investigate the morphological properties of polyimide based SRNF membranes by mean of image processing. Effect of phase inversion parameters like polymer concentration, volatile co-solvent, pre-evaporation time, additives in coagulation bath, polymers weight ratio in composite membranes, addition of nano particles and cross-linking agents have been reviewed. The voi...

Deductive databases result from the integration of database and logic programming techniques. It combines the beneets of these two approaches, such as representational and operational uniformity, recursion, declarative querying, eecient secondary storage access, etc. However, signiicant problems remain inherent in this synthesis. There are four broad areas where problems are apparent. The rst p...

I t's time we complete the risk assessment of participation in contact sports, especially in that cornerstone of American culture: football. There is good research on the incidence, cost, and long-term consequences of anterior cruciate ligament tears, shoulder dislocations, and ankle sprains. However, we are just starting to elucidate these matters for head trauma, concussion, and chronic traum...

Certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC) is a useful method in order to solve the problems of traditional public key infrastructure (i.e., large amount of computation, storage and communication costs for managing certificates) and ID-based public key cryptography (i.e., key escrow problem), simultaneously. A signcryption scheme is an important primitive in cryptographic protocols which ...

Abstract: This paper is about Iranian health industry facing the challenges created by the comprehensive international sanctions. This paper aims to give a realistic account of the different positive and negative impacts of the factor of international collaboration (or rather, the lack thereof) on the dual aspects of "technological and non-technological" catching up process. The case study is r...
