open-channel junctions have a broad application in civil and environmental engineering. formation of a low-pressure zone with recirculating flow (high sedimentation) accompanied by a high-velocity zone (high erosion) is the most characteristic feature of flow in junctions. a large number of researches have been performed to study the complexity of the flow in junctions in open-channel flows. in...

glaucoma is a major cause of blindness worldwide. a single nucleotide polymorphism of the mthfr gene (c677t) has been associated with susceptibility to this disease, although this is controversial in the last decade. in this study, the possible association between the mthfr c677t polymorphism and the risk of developing primary open angle (poag) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (pexg) was investig...

objective: to compare the frequency of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma (poag) vs controls. methods: in a case-control study, 44 patients with primary open angle glaucoma and 79 patients with senile cataract (control group) were investigated for serum level of anti-h. pylori antibody using the enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (elisa) method...

this study aims to examine how open innovation can be effective in changing organizational inertia to create business model innovation and improve firm performance. it also seeks to explore whether the existence of open innovation has a mediating effect and influence. this study constructs a theoretical model to explore the relationship between latent variables and uses a questionnaire to colle...
