Fabulous at five! When ChemistryOpen was launched in 2011, it was the first society-owned general chemistry journal to publish open-access articles exclusively. Five years down the line, it has featured excellent work in all fields of chemistry, leading to an impressive first full impact factor of 3.25. In this Editorial, read about how ChemistryOpen has grown over the past five years and made ...

background: in children, inappropriate treatment of open femoral fractures may induce several complications. a few studies have compared the external fixator with flexible intramedullary nails in high-grade open femoral fractures of children. the present study aims at comparing results of these two treatment methods in open femoral fractures. methods: in this descriptive analytical study, 27 pa...

Laparoscopic orchiopexy (LO) was used in place of open surgery in 10 patients for diagnosing cryptorchidism in our department. In this method a large abdominal incision was not given in search of intra-abdominal testes. Anorchia was diagnosed in four patients, which was shown to be bilateral in one. In one subject with ambiguous genitalia, revealing the presence of intra-abdominal gonads e...

Isolated posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries are rarely seen with tibial plateau fractures and can be missed during the initial assessment. The objective of this paper is to present a case of a Schatzker type 2 tibial plateau fracture with associated isolated PLC injury and give a discussion on physical exam, diagnostic studies, and treatment options. A twenty-five-year-old female sustained a ...

purpose: to report five cases of wolfram syndrome, an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease with ِdiabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness (didmoad syndrome). patients and findings: all of the five patients had diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy. four patients had hearing loss. in spite of persistence of polyuria and polydipsia, diabetes insipidus had been prev...

Hybrid parallel programming with MPI for internode communication in conjunction with a shared-memory programming model to manage intranode parallelism has become a dominant approach to scalable parallel programming. While this model provides a great deal of flexibility and performance potential, it saddles programmers with the complexity of utilizing two parallel programming systems in the same...

Machine intelligence, more commonly known by the misnomer artifical intelligence, is now about twenty-five years old as a scientific field. In contrast with early predictions, its practical applicability has been frustratingly slow to develop. It appears, however, that we are now (finally!) on the verge of practicality in a number of specialities within machine intelligence more or less simulta...

nowadays, innovation is one of the most important factors for a business to survive. due to rapid changes and short life cycle of technology in information and communication technology (ict) companies, considerable attention is given to innovation. this study aims to identify and rank the impact factors on open innovation success in ict firms. this practical research is quantitative and uses th...
