OBJECTIVE To assess the relative sharpness of osteotomes after multiple uses, routine maintenance, and sharpening. METHODS This prospective clinical study and mechanical model quantified the relative sharpness of identical osteotomes at baseline; after 3, 6, and 9 uses; and after sharpening techniques compared with osteotomes from hospital central supply. The Instron universal tester develope...
متن کاملQuantifying the margin sharpness of lesions on radiological images for content-based image retrieval.
PURPOSE To develop a method to quantify the margin sharpness of lesions on CT and to evaluate it in simulations and CT scans of liver and lung lesions. METHODS The authors computed two attributes of margin sharpness: the intensity difference between a lesion and its surroundings, and the sharpness of the intensity transition across the lesion boundary. These two attributes were extracted from...

متن کاملComparing methods of quantifying tibial acceleration slope.
Considerable variability in tibial acceleration slope (AS) values, and different interpretations of injury risk based on these values, have been reported. Acceleration slope variability may be due in part to variations in the quantification methods used. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to quantify differences in tibial AS values determined using end points at various percentage ranges ...
متن کاملComparing Major Web Service Paradigms
We identify three foundational tasks for clients interacting with Web services, and study how to realise these tasks using major paradigms (WS-*, Semantic Web Services, RESTful APIs and Linked APIs). We identify relative merits of each approach and point out how the combination of resource-oriented services with Linked Data can enable an interoperable ecosystem of Web services.
