OBJECT The authors conducted a cadaveric anatomical study to quantify and compare the area of surgical exposure and the freedom available for instrument manipulation provided by the following four surgical approaches to the extracranial periclival region: simple transoral (STO), transoral with a palate split (TOPS), Le Fort I osteotomy (LFO), and median labioglossomandibulotomy (MLM). METHODS...

One of the central concerns of the multi-level modelling (MLM) community is the hierarchy of classifications that appear in conceptual models; what these are, how they are linked and how they should be organised into levels and modelled. Though there has been significant work done in this area, we believe that it could be enhanced by introducing a systematic way to investigate the ontological n...

This study aims to determine the potential of wind energy in mediterranean coastal plain Palestine. The parameters Weibull distribution were calculated on basis speed data. Accordingly, two approaches employed: analysis a set actual time series data and theoretical probability function. In this analysis, shape factor ‘<em>k</em>’ scale ‘<em>c</em>’ adopted. These suitabi...

Although multilingual pretrained models (mPLMs) enabled support of various natural language processing in diverse languages, its limited coverage 100+ languages lets 6500+ remain ‘unseen’. One common approach for an unseen is specializing the model it as target, by performing additional masked modeling (MLM) with target corpus. However, we argue that, due to discrepancy from MLM pretraining, a ...

Assessment of the first level managers only in respect their compliance with requirements set for a particular job position isnot sufficient. A tool facilitating identification relevance certain management chain is required asit would ensure effectiveness performance and harmony chain. The present article aims at emphasisingthe feasibility (MLM–FLM–SUB) throughpersonality traits. research analy...

Much of the current theory of adaptation is based on Gillespie's mutational landscape model (MLM), which assumes that the fitness values of genotypes linked by single mutational steps are independent random variables. On the other hand, a growing body of empirical evidence shows that real fitness landscapes, while possessing a considerable amount of ruggedness, are smoother than predicted by th...

The multilevel tiled map service is widely used and serves as a kind of digital infrastructure. These tiles are usually rendered from vector data, whose update needs to walk or drive with professional equipment check every point interest. This leads inconvenience expensive cost in timely updating maps. Compared aerial images much easier cheaper obtain. In this article, we propose novel (MLM) ge...

Study designs involving clustering in some study arms, but not all study arms, are common in clinical treatment-outcome and educational settings. For instance, in a treatment arm, persons may be nested in therapy groups, whereas in a control arm there are no groups. Methodological approaches for handling such partially nested designs have recently been developed in a multilevel modeling framewo...

Because clinical databases vary in structure, access methods and vocabulary used to represent data, the Arden Syntax does not define a standard model for querying databases. Consequently, database queries are encoded in ad hoc ways and enclosed in "curly braces" in Medical Logic Modules (MLMs). However, the nonstandard representation of queries impairs sharing of MLMs, an impediment that has co...

The objectives of this study were to use mixed models to confirm the presence of genetic variability in 16 soybean genotypes, to compare clusters generated by artificial neural networks (ANNs) with those created by the Ward modified location model (MLM) technique, and to indicate parental combinations that hold promise for obtaining superior segregating populations of soybean. A field trial was...
