5584 Background: To evaluate the outcomes of dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) in patients with head and neck tumors. METHODS The clinical records of all 31 patients with head and neck tumors who underwent DCR for nasolacrimal duct blockage at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center between 1999 and 2003 were retrospectively reviewed for outcome and complications of DCR. RESULTS Nasolacrimal duct blockage wa...

The massive availability of bandwidth in the millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency band has the potential to address the challenges posed by the unprecedented increase in the mobile data traffic. Therefore, mmWave wireless access is being seen as a promising candidate for multi-Gbps wireless access in the next generation (i.e., 5G) of wireless communications. In particular, 60 GHz frequency band w...

Blocking is one of the most important challenges in exploiting millimeterwave for fifth-generation (5G) cellular communication systems. Compared to blockages caused by buildings or terrains, human body blockage exhibits a higher complexity due to the mobility and dynamic statistics of humans. To support development of outdoor millimeter-wave cellular systems, in this paper we present a novel 3D...

ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted to study the effectiveness of different preservative solutions on vase life and quality angelica cut inflorescences cv. Single. The concentrations citric acid at 100, 200 300 mg L-1, sucrose 3% 4% H2O2 0.1%, 0.2% 0.3% were used as preservatives, while distilled water control. single factor laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replica...

There has been a growing interest in the commercialization of millimeter wave (mmW) technology as a part of the Fifth-Generation New Radio (5G-NR) wireless standardization efforts. In this direction, many sets of independent measurement campaigns show that wireless propagation at mmW carrier frequencies is only marginally worse than propagation at sub-6 GHz carrier frequencies for small-cell co...

s:865:"We read with interest the manuscript entitled "Serum and peritoneal fluid levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in women with endometriosis" recently published in the International Journal of Fertility and Sterility (1). The authors measured the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in serum and peritoneal fluid of 179 women, 90 of whom were diagnosed with endometriosis, an...

We solve the problem of robot path planning using Dynamic Programming (DP) designed to perform well in case of a sudden path blockage. A conventional DP algorithm works well for real time scenarios only when the update frequency is high i.e. changes can be readily propagated. In case updates are costly, for a sudden blockage the robot continues moving along the wrong path or stands stationary. ...

Abstract Cross-drainage hydraulic structures such as culverts and bridges in urban landscapes are prone to get blocked by the transported debris (e.g., urban, vegetated), which often reduces their capacity triggers flash floods. Unavailability of relevant data from blockage-originated flooding events complex nature accumulation highlighted factors hindering research within blockage management d...
