Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare, benign and locally invasive tumor. Massive bleeding because of vascularity of tumor and postoperative recurrence are potential problems of management. Endonasal approach reduces the rate of postoperative recurrence, intraoperative bleeding, and complications of surgery, time of operation and duration of hospitalization. In this article, we r...

Rangeland rehabilitation and optimum exploitation are the first scientific and technical efforts with various programs in range management plans (RMPs) in Iranian range management sector. The range management plans have important roles in the natural resources conservation and improvement. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of accomplishment of range management plans on vegetation c...

introduction: differentiated thyroid cancer (dtc) is the most common endocrine malignancy. this malignancy generally has an excellent prognosis with more than 90% long term survival. consequently, life quality improvement is the first priority especially in the young dtc survivors. in classic management of a new dtc patient, each therapeutic modality can significantly induce morbidities. in the...

The adoption of the principles of sustainable development (SD) is increasingly seen as an important way to align the strategic plan of organizations with the specific objectives and procedures used for project execution. However, more research is still needed to identify how SD contributes to align the strategic plan of clients of the building sector with their short-term needs of construction ...

We present a hierarchical maximum-margin clustering method for unsupervised data analysis. Our method extends beyond flat maximummargin clustering, and performs clustering recursively in a top-down manner. We propose an effective greedy splitting criteria for selecting which cluster to split next, and employ regularizers that enforce feature sharing/competition for capturing data semantics. Exp...

Organisations increasingly seek to explore the new opportunities that social media offers in terms of engaging with customers, users, and partners. So far, academic research on organisational practice of social media is sporadic and corporate actors are thus left without level-headed advice as to how to best implement and use social media technologies.

Among these challenges, the implementation of decentralised organisation and management seems to be a central problem. Besides top-down, prescribed initiatives for reorganisation such as decentralised organisational structures, the organisational challenge of implementing information systems and strengthening th...

20 During natural vision, stimuli are viewed for different durations as the state of brain activity 21 changes over time. Here, we studied the effects of stimulus presentation duration on cell 22 responses (n=259) in three subdivisions of the inferotemporal (IT) cortex of fixating macaque 23 monkeys as neural baseline firing rates varied over the course of recording. First, cell responses 24 to...
