We characterize pairs of convex sets A, Bin the k-dimensional space with the property that every probability distribution (p 1 ,. • • , P~<) has a repsesentation p, =a;· b;, a EA, bE B. Minimal pairs with this property are antiblocking pairs of convex corners. This result is closely related to a new entropy concept. The main application is an information theoretic characterization of perfect gr...

Intruduction: Esophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital anomaly treated by surgical reconstruction. Some early postoperative complications may be encountered we assessed complications following EA repair in a large number of neonates with EA / TEF. methods: 243 patients with EA / TEF that were treated operatively in Sarvar Children’s Hospital from 2002 to 2010 were studied. Early post-operat...

BACKGROUND Esophageal atresia (EA) is a common congenital anomaly. In this study, we evaluated the mortality and its risk factors in patients born with esophageal atresia. METHODS AND MATERIALS A database of 206 consecutive patients treated for EA was developed in ST-Zahra hospital of Isfahan between 1994 and 2004. RESULTS In this study, 206 patients were evaluated. The most common type of ...

The appeal of common property ideas may be traced in large measure to the fact that they seem to embody widely held values of equality. On the other hand, empirical examination of common property institutions reveals that they can coexist with significant inequality. In this paper, the relationship between common property and equality is examined. It is argued that the role of common property c...

The business of contemporary organizations is heavily dependent on information systems. Business processes and IT are interwoven and numerous technologies are in use. How the involved systems affect each other or impact the organizations’ business domain is often uncertain, thus decision-making regarding information technology is challenging. Enterprise architecture (EA) is a holistic, model-ba...

background: the most common congenital abnormality of esophagus is esophageal atresia (ea) that can occur with or without tracheoesophageal fistula. other associated anomalies are the leading cause of death in these patients. the present study aimed to evaluate the main complication, outcomes and cause of death in neonate with ea repaired in amirkola children’s hospital (ach), iran within a 13 ...

The Ba0.985La0.015Ti0.9Sn0.1O3 ceramic has been prepared by a cost-effective solid-state reaction method. Preliminary room-temperature X-ray diffraction indicates that the crystallization of is good. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy was used to study microstructure ceramic. photoelectron spectroscopy characterize oxygen vacancies. Dielectric properties and impedance reflected charact...

Background and Objective: Epidural analgesia (EA) has been used to relieve labor pain in many obstetric units, yet controversy persists about its effect on progress and outcome in labor. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of EA on the rate of cervical dilation and myometrial contractility. Methods: In a 6-month period, 36 women who received standardized EA were mat...
