BACKGROUND Global sagittal malalignment is significantly correlated with health-related quality-of-life scores in the setting of spinal deformity. In order to address rigid deformity patterns, the use of spinal osteotomies has seen a substantial increase. Unfortunately, variations of established techniques and hybrid combinations of osteotomies have made comparisons of outcomes difficult. OBJ...

Low-cost, miniaturized hyperspectral imaging technology is becoming available for small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms. This technology can be efficient in carrying out small-area inspections of anomalous reflectance characteristics of trees at a very high level of detail. Increased frequency and intensity of insect induced forest disturbance has established a new demand for effective ...

For the expression of human intact IgG antibodies, we have constructed a set of baculovirus expression vectors designed to facilitate rapid insertion of heavy and light chain genes of Fab or scFv antibodies derived from phage display antibody libraries. By linking them to human constant or Fc regions, expression of complete human immunoglobulin molecules was achieved in insect cells by infectio...

For a strongly inacessible cardinal $\kappa$, we investigate the relationships between following ideals: - ideal of meager sets in ${<}\kappa$-box product topology "null" sense [Sh:1004] (arXiv:1202.5799) nowhere stationary subsets (naturally defined) set $S_{\rm pr}^\kappa \subseteq \kappa$. In particular, analyse provable inequalities characteristics for these ideals, and give consistency res...
