In 161 cases of gastric cancer with liver metastasis but without peritoneal dissemination, evaluations were executed to find effective treatment. The most favorable results with best prognosis were obtained in the group receiving gastrectomy + hepatectomy + chemotherapy, followed by gastrectomy + chemotherapy, and gastrectomy alone. The most unfavorable outcome was in nonresected cases. Chief c...

This paper proposes ShowFace, a streaming structure for personalized face animation. This structure extends (and complies with) MPEG-4 face animation by defining image transformations required for certain facial movements, and also by providing a higher level Face Modeling Language (FML) for modeling and control purposes. The proposed framework consists of components for parsing the input scrip...

This paper presents a continuation semantics satisfying the basic laws of concurrent systems. This semantics is illustrated for a simple CSP-like language extended with communication on multiple channels and synchronization based on join patterns, which also provides operators for nondeterministic choice, sequential and parallel composition. For the language under investigation we present a den...

In this paper ShowFace streaming structure is proposed as a comprehensive framework for Personalized Face Animation. This structure is based on widely accepted industry standards in multimedia presentation like MPEG-4 and SMIL, and extends them by defining image transformations required for certain facial movements, and also by providing a higher level Face Modeling Language (FML). It defines a...

Fibre metal laminates (FML) are hybrid materials perspective for wind-turbine, containers and marine objects, besides the aerospace industry. During manufacturing process some faults can occur be hazardous reliability of FML structures. One most critical defects kissing bonding due to their lack detectability strength compared traditional delamination defect. The quantitative explanation were u...

Fiber-metal-laminates (FML) provide excellent fatigue behavior, damage tolerant properties, and inherent corrosion resistance.To speed up manufacturing simultaneously increase the geometrical complexity of produced FML parts, Mennecart et al. proposed a new single-step process combining deep-drawing with infiltration (HY-LCM). Although first experimental results are promising, involves several ...
