the ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant counterpart of the ameloblastoma. ameloblastic carcinoma is a malignant lesion with characteristic histologic features and behavior that dictates a more aggressive surgical approach than that of a simple ameloblastoma. however, reliable evidence of its biologic activity is currently unavailable due to the scarcity of well-documented cases. we prese...

an attempt has been made to explore the general trends in the seismic response of planasymmetric structures when subjected to near-fault and far-fault ground motions. systems with structural wall elements in both orthogonal directions considering actual and common nonlinear behavior under bi-directional excitation were studied. idealized single-storey models with uni-axial eccentricity were emp...

the organizations use all appropriate tools to improve their service to the customers. the detection of especial customers and the forecast of their behavior undoubtedly can play an important role in improvement of service. in this paper, a new statistical method called the mahalanobis taguchi system has been used for this purpose. this method is used for the analysis of real data of an insuran...

Child abuse and neglect happens across all social, economic and cultural groups. All of us including government, community and public need to play a part in ensuring that children are protected from harm. Suspected child abuse cases are reported to the Child Protection Service or the Police. Inquiry to confirm the report is indeed child abuse and the level of protection required will be activat...

Process safety analysis is necessary for analyzing and assessing in detail the inherent hazards in chemical processes. We have developed a tool (called PHASuite) to assist experts conducting process safety analysis. PHA is knowledge intensive, and the analysis capacity and quality of PHASuite depend exclusively on the quality of domain knowledge. It is, however, impossible and impractical to en...
