    Treatment of four or more colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) is controversial and remains a relative contraindication to surgery at some institutions. We sought to assess the outcome of patients with four or more CRLMs ...
  • A decentralized load balancing approach for parallel search-tree optimization 
    Abu-Khzam, F.N. (IEEE, 2017-03-17)
    Current generation supercomputers have over one million cores awaiting highly demanding computations and applications. An area that could largely benefit from such processing capabilities is naturally that of exact algorithms ...
  • A decentralized load balancing strategy for parallel search-three optimization. (c2010) 
    Mouawad, Amer E. (Lebanese American University, 2011-11-29)
    Current generation supercomputers have thousands of cores awaiting highly demanding computations and applications. One area that could largely benefit from such processing capabilities is clearly that of exact algorithms ...
  • Decision making among lebanese executives. (c1985) 
    Masry, Jamal N. (2011-04-08)
  • Decision making. (c2013) 
    Dalati, Valerie (Lebanese American University, 2016-02-16)
    This thesis aims to show how decision making is a critical success factor in the European Union (EU) unification process. The research elaborates on the unique interests of European member states as they at times contradict ...
  • Decision to emigrate amongst the youth in Lebanon 
    Dibeh, Ghassan; Fakih, Ali; Marrouch, Walid (2017-07-07)
