background anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (alcapa) is a rare congenital cardiovascular defect that occurs in approximately 1/300 000 live births or 0.5% of children with congenital heart disease. there are two types of alcapa syndrome: the infant type and the adult type. the most infants experience myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure, and approximately 9...

BACKGROUND Intrapulmonary tunnel repair, called the Takeuchi technique, is a unique procedure for repairing anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). Since 1986, we have clearly defined the indication for the Takeuchi technique based on the location of the left coronary artery (LCA) orifice. METHODS AND RESULTS From 1986 to 2011, 19 consecutive patients ...

Let L be a quantum semigroupoid, more precisely a ×R-bialgebra in the sense of Takeuchi. We describe a procedure replacing the algebra R by any Morita equivalent, or in fact more generally any √ Morita equivalent (in the sense of Takeuchi) algebra S to obtain a ×S -bialgebra H̃ with the same monoidal representation category.

This paper compares two influential attempts at presenting a comprehensive framework of knowledge management. For each perspective the author examines theoretical foundations, highlights conceptual elements and themes, and discusses the role of information and information management. Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi analyze the dynamics of knowledge creation, particularly the importance of ...

The Japanese species of the sawfly genus Siobla Cameron, 1877, are revised and keyed. The following nine species are recognized: S. apicalis Takeuchi, 1929, S. ferox (Smith, 1874), S. hirasana Takeuchi, 1929, S. jucunda (Mocsáry, 1909), S. metallica Takeuchi, 1929, S. sturmii (Klug, 1817), S. japonica, sp. nov., S. pulchra, sp. nov., and S. takeuchii, sp. nov.  Siobla pacifica (Smith, 1874) is ...
