PURPOSE To assess the prevalence and treatment outcomes of angle-closure mechanisms other than pupillary block in a population of Brazilian patients. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted to evaluate patients who had undergone laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) due to occludable angles at a single institution between July 2009 and April 2012. An occludable angle was defined as an e...

This research papers aims to evaluate the impact of two major institutional indexes logistics performance index (LPI) and ease doing business (EODB) along with cost (LC) on economic development (Gross domestic product – GDP per capita). The variables selected for study provides comprehensive forms core economy any country. Top seven economies world (China, France, Germany, India, Japan, United ...

A robust and accurate road model estimation algorithm can greatly improve the performance of many Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications such as lane detection, obstacle detection and road marking recognition. To estimate the road model, the proposed algorithm employs a stereo vision camera system. In this paper, local planar patches are efficiently estimated in the disparity do...

forest road construction is the most costly operation in forestry. road designing and construction in unsuitable areas may increase construction and maintenance costs and also cause many environmental impacts. therefore, it is required to pay more attention to forest road design. in this research, we tried to introduce an appropriate method for locating forest roads using gis and ahp simultaneo...

The lateral posterior (LP)-pulvinar complex of the cat is known to contain multiple visual areas. In the present study, we examined the receptive field properties of single neurons isolated in the lateral division of this complex (the LPI). The LPI is designated the striate-recipient zone because it is the only region of the LP-pulvinar receiving cortical projections from areas 17 and 18. The r...

This paper investigates the economic relationship between logistics performance and export competitiveness based on iceberg transport cost model conducts further empirical analysis according to China’s LPI. It finds that higher efficiency of transport, lower transportation costs coefficient per unit distance; when decrease, foreign demand for domestic goods increases, as does value expressed in...

The present study was conducted to assess socio-economic impacts of deforestation of Hyrcanian forests in two basins of Do-Hezar and Se-Hezar, northern Iran. To this end, changes in the forest area were detected over the period between 1990 and 2006 based on land use land cover maps derived from Landsat and IRS satellite images. The land use changes were investigated by enhancement of the image...

This study aims to analyze the effect of logistics performance on manufacturing export in 18 members Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (AEPC) during 2010-2018 period. Logistics was represented by Performance Index published World Bank biennially. uses panel data regression method see effects LPI overall, each component LPI, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Per capita, total population, and real exc...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The glycerol-based lysophospholipid lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is an endogenous agonist of the G-protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) exhibiting cannabinoid receptor-like properties in endothelial cells. To estimate the contribution of GPR55 to the physiological effects of LPI, the GPR55-dependent and -independent electrical responses in this cell type were investigate...

objective: road traffic injuries (rtis) are the second leading causes of death in iran. one of the most important steps in the prevention of traffic-related trauma and its consequences is gaining insight into the epidemiology of injuries. we conducted this study to describe the characteristics of rtis and to find strategies for its prevention. methods: this was a prospective cross-sectional stu...
