The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of tailored treatment for the management of scleral necrosis following pterygium surgery. A series of nine cases of scleral necrosis following pterygium excision between September 2009 and September 2012 were included. In cases where ischemia was the cause of scleral necrosis, Tenon's membrane covering (TMC) surgery was performed. For cases wi...

the present study attempts to define the meaning of faith according to the views of morjeeh since this definition distinguishes this sect from the other sects of the era and the belief in this definition of faith is the common point among all the branches of morjeeh. finally, this study criticizes their view on the basis of the quran and the traditions (hadiths) of the shiite imams (peace be up...

one of the most important issues of abrahamic religions is faith. paul the apostle and fakhr rāzī, two thinkers in two religious fields of christianity and islam, have expressed their opinions in details in this regard. in discussing the consequences of faith, paul the apostle talks about salvation, justness, new life, security from devils and enemies, calmness and reception of god’s promises. ...

BACKGROUND Although pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft is a widely performed surgical procedure, surgically induced necrotizing scleritis (SINS) following such surgery is extremely rare. METHODS A 68-year-old man underwent nasal pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft uneventfully. On postoperative day 17, the conjunctival graft was avascular, with epithelial defect. Althou...

Load Frequency Control (LFC) has received considerable attention during last decades. This paper proposes a new method for designing decentralized interaction estimators for interconnected large-scale systems and utilizes it to multi-area power systems. For each local area, a local estimator is designed to estimate the interactions of this area using only the local output measurements. In fact,...

Analytic alignment is a type of self-alignment for a Strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) that is based solely on two non-collinear vectors, which are the gravity and rotational velocity vectors of the Earth at a stationary base on the ground. The attitude of the SINS with respect to the Earth can be obtained directly using the TRIAD algorithm given two vector measurements. For a traditi...

Design, trademark and patent are the intellectual properties that influence each other and become the core assets and ultimate commercial weapons of the companies. In this study, we researched the designs, trademarks and patents of Nike in depth. The secret of Nike brands are built up on the high technology. Nike also had very successful brands in the apparel and footwear industry. In 2006, Int...

In many animals, a fast and reliable circuit for discriminating between predator-sized objects and edible (prey-sized) objects is necessary for survival. How are receptive fields (RFs) in visual brain areas organized to extract information about size? Recent studies from the zebrafish optic tectum and the mouse visual cortex suggest de novo shaping of RFs by subtypes of inhibitory neurons. Del ...

The integrated navigation system with strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), Beidou (BD) receiver and Doppler velocity log (DVL) can be used in marine applications owing to the fact that the redundant and complementary information from different sensors can markedly improve the system accuracy. However, the existence of multisensor asynchrony will introduce errors into the system. In orde...
