Guidelines for Extended Lymphadenectomy in Gastric Cancer: A Prospective Comparative Study
(SPRINGER, 2013)
To assess the efficacy of extended lymph node dissection in gastric cancer and to identify factors affecting lymph node detection. A prospective study of 126 gastric cancer patients was conducted. Patients eligible for ...
Management of atrial fibrillation in the Emergency Department: current approach and future expectations
(VERDUCI PUBLISHER, 2013)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia and occurs in 3.3%-10% of emergency admissions. It is frequently quoted for people over the age of 75, but the cases of AF in young subjects without structural ...
Determination of structural, spectrometric and nonlinear optical features of 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid by experimental techniques and quantum chemical calculations
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013)
The optimized geometrical structure, vibrational and electronic transitions, chemical shifts and nonlinear optical properties of 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid (HABA) compound were presented in this study. The ground ...
A modified analytical hierarchy process (M-AHP) approach for decision support systems in natural hazard assessments
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013)
The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a classic and powerful decision support tool. However, the conventional AHP has some disadvantages originating in the expert decision-making process. To minimize the disadvantages ...
Application of the Engineering-Geological Conditions in Land-Use Plans in the Petrvald Region (Czech Republic)
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013)
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate necessity to inform relevant parties about engineering-geological conditions for various practical purposes, especially including appropriate land-use planning. However, the ...
IMPROVING PRESERVICE SCIENCE TEACHERS' SELF-EFFICACY ABOUT THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT: IMPLICATION FOR THEORY AND PRACTICE
(SCI METHODICAL CTR-SCI EDUCOLOGICA, 2013)
In this study, a teaching program was designed to improve preservice teachers' self-efficacy about the use of alternative assessment. The teaching program has three stages: workshop, observation, and teaching. Preservice ...
The effect of octreotide, an analog of somatostatin, on bleomycin-induced interstitial pulmonary fibrosis in rats
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2013)
In this study, octreotide (OCT), a synthetic sonnatostatin analog, was tested for its beneficial effects in the prevention of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) induced by bleomycin (BLM) in rats by histological examination ...
Effects on caregiver burden of education related to home care in patients undergoing hemodialysis
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013)
Caring for a patient undergoing hemodialysis is highly stressful and can negatively affect a caregiver's physical and psychological well-being. This study was conducted to examine the effect of educational support concerning ...
Anomalous top-gluon couplings in gamma p collision at the CERN-LHC
(EPL ASSOCIATION, EUROPEAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY, 2013)
We have investigated anomalous chromomagnetic and chromoelectric dipole moments of the top quark via top pair production in a gamma p collision at the LHC. We obtain 95% CL bounds on the anomalous couplings with various ...
Effect of an intense laser field on the holes in graded quantum wells
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2013)
The potential profile and the energy levels of the heavy holes (hh) and light holes (lh) in graded quantum wells under an intense laser field are theoretically calculated within the framework of the effective mass ...
