the implementation of different silvicultural systems can be effective on different characteristics of forest stands, such as stand structure and diameter distribution of trees. this study was carried out in shafaroud forests of gilan province of northern iran. the objectives of this research were 1) to evaluate the suitability of different probability distribution functions, including weibull,...

The oriented non-guillotine two-dimensional strip packing problem is investigated. Several 1D relaxations are considered and compared. Moreover, an ILP formulation of the 1D contiguous relaxation is given. The appropriate combination of some of the relaxations enables us the formulate a new ILP model of the strip packing problem.

Posterior digital neurectomy by the guillotine technique resulted in longer duration of cutaneous desensitization of the heels and less neuroma formation compared with perineural capping, CO2 laser coagulation, or CO2 laser transection techniques.

Penile amputation is an uncommon condition that requires immediate surgical replantation. Routine standardized procedures for dealing with this medical condition do not exist. We describe a case of complete guillotine-type glans penis amputation and review the relevant literature. We performed urethral end-to-end approximation and glanular anastomosis and then applied hyperbaric oxygen therapy ...
