Little Significance

Little languages: little maintenance?

So-called little, or domain-specific languages (DSLs), have the potential to make software maintenance simpler: domain-experts can directly use the DSL to make required routine modifications. At the negative side, however, more substantial changes may become more difficult: such changes may involve altering the domain-specific language. This will require compiler technology knowledge, which not...

Bilateral Absence of Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Tendon of the Little Finger: Clinical Significance

Bilateral Absence of Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS) Tendon of the Little Finger: Clinical Significance.

The flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS/sublimis) is a flexor of the digits of the hand and has been reported to have varying degrees of agenesis. During routine cadaveric dissection for undergraduates at SRMS-IMS Bareilly, India, we observed bilateral absence of the FDS tendon to little finger in the upper limbs of a 45-year-old male cadaver. The muscle was normally supplied by a branch of med...

Frobenius kernel and Wedderburn's little theorem

We give a new proof of the well known Wedderburn's little theorem (1905) that a finite‎ ‎division ring is commutative‎. ‎We apply the concept of Frobenius kernel in Frobenius representation theorem in finite group‎ ‎theory to build a proof‎.

The clinical significance of the palmaris longus tendon and functional superficial flexor of the little finger in the pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome

  Abstract   Background: The pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with   increased intracarpal canal pressure. Recently, palmaris longus has been introduced   as an independent risk factor for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. The   purpose of this study was to assess the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with   the presence of palmaris longus tendon and function...
