The integer DCT (Int-DCT), which transforms an integer input to an integer output, is attracting many researchers' attention as an effective method for DCT based lossy / lossless unified coding. There are many reports relevant to the Int-DCT. Recently, we proposed an optimum word length allocation method based on the proposed SNR sensitivity. In this report, we confirm an effectiveness of the p...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of large number of tiny sensor nodes, all of which have sensing capabilities. As sensor nodes are typically powered by nonrenewable batteries, energy efficiency is a critical factor in wireless sensor networks. Sensor nodes want to continue their lives with limited energy. Each of them using its own energy in minumum level and they aims to provide maximum...

BACKGROUND Distal radius and proximal femoral fractures are typical injuries in later life, predominantly due to simple falls, but modulated by other relevant factors such as osteoporosis. Fracture incidence rates rise with age. Because of the growing proportion of elderly people in Western industrialized societies, the number of these fractures can be expected to increase further in the coming...

We solve a problem of fluid dynamics in an arbitrarSignificant progress has been made in the quantitative ily shaped fracture containing proppant. The fracture modeling of the dynamic interaction of a fracture with is embedded in an absolutely rigid solid. The fluid flow surrounding elastic rock. Using the finite-difference method, is induced by normal harmonic oscillations of fracture Chouet (...

OBJECTIVE To investigate relation between inpatient length of stay after hip fracture and risk of death after hospital discharge. SETTING Population ≥50 years old living in Sweden as of 31 December 2005 with a first hip fracture the years 2006-12. PARTICIPANTS 116,111 patients with an incident hip fracture from a closed nationwide cohort. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Death within 30 days of hospi...

In this paper, the author presented a modified Chen and Chung’s model considering that the process mean may not be equal to the target value when the process is in the in-control state. Taguchi’s asymmetric quadratic quality loss function will be applied in evaluating the product quality. Subsequently, the modified economic manufacturing quantity (EMQ) model based on modified the Chen and Chung...

Fluid pressure inside a borehole produces hydraulic fracture and damage zones in the vicinity of the borehole. These fractures result from stress concentrations around the borehole. The results of numerical simulation of a borehole subjected to fluid pressure using a micromechanical damage model [2] are presented in this paper. It is observed that tensional concentrated stresses are generated a...

There has been much interest in recent years in bounds on the redundancy of Huffman codes, given only partial information about the source word distribution, such as the probability of the most likely source. This work determines upper and lower bounds for the redundancy of Huffman codes of source words which are binomially distributed. Since the complete distribution is known, it is possible t...

Recently, the integer DCT (Int-DCT), which has the rounding operations in the lifting structure, is attracting many researchers' attention as an effective method for DCT based lossy / lossless unified coding. So far, focuses of the previous reports relevant to the Int-DCT have been limited to a few topics such as how to reduce the number of multipliers with the four point lossless Hadamard tran...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to analyze the incidence of hip fracture as a complication of admissions to internal medicine units in Spain. METHODS We analyzed the clinical data of 2,134,363 adults who had been admitted to internal medicine wards. The main outcome was a diagnosis of hip fracture during hospitalization.Outcome measures included rates of in-hospital fractures, leng...
