BACKGROUND A large, multicenter, 10-year observational study is being conducted to compare the long-term safety and effectiveness of Natrelle silicone breast implants with saline implants or national norms. Study baseline data and surgical characteristics are reported here. METHODS Women seeking primary augmentation, revision-augmentation, primary reconstruction, or revision-reconstruction pa...

abounovas is of unique character who has  always stimulates old and new critics to battle against each other as far as each person makes a character for him based on their understanding and special orientation instead of discovering his true  character. to recognize his real character ,however, his biography must be reread and to have a correct and real conclusion we have to refer to  reliable ...

Aortic augmentation index, a measure of central systolic blood pressure augmentation arising mainly from pressure-wave reflection, increases with vascular aging. The augmentation index is influenced by aortic pulse-wave velocity (related to aortic stiffness) and by the site and extent of wave reflection. To clarify the relative influence of pulse-wave velocity and wave reflection on the augment...

Computer vision applications for document image understanding (DIU) such as optical character recognition, word spotting, enhancement etc. suffer from structural deformations like strike-outs and unconstrained strokes, to name a few. They also texture degradation due blurring, aging, or blotting-spots The DIU with deep networks are limited constrained environment lack diverse data text-level pi...

BACKGROUND Breast augmentation with subglandular versus subpectoral implants may differentially impact the early detection of breast cancer and treatment recommendations. The authors assessed the impact of prior augmentation on the diagnosis and management of breast cancer in women undergoing mastectomy. METHODS Breast cancer diagnosis and management were retrospectively analyzed in all women...

Global Navigation Satellite (GPS) system has gradually come of age and has found itself a place as standard Navigation equipment in most aircraft. However, data from a GPS Receiver is not reliable enough for it to be used as a primary or sole source of navigation information. As a result GPS only system is allowed to be used only as a supplemental means of navigation for aircraft in the less cr...

This paper addresses text recognition for domains with limited manual annotations by a simple self-training strategy. Our approach should reduce human annotation effort when target domain data is plentiful, such as transcribing collection of single person's correspondence or large manuscript. We propose to train seed system on scale from related mixed available annotated the domain. The transcr...

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks have made an incredible progress in many Computer Vision tasks. This progress, however, often relies on the availability of large amounts training data, required to prevent over-fitting, which domains entails significant cost manual data labeling. An alternative approach is application augmentation (DA) techniques that aim at model regularization by creating a...

Several recent papers have analyzed the potential threat of severe ionosphere spatial gradients on LAAS users [14]. To support this work, a comprehensive methodology has been developed to analyze WAAS Supertruth data as well as both raw and JPL-processed data from the IGS/CORS receiver network to search for anomalous gradients. Anomalous gradients that result from this method are used to popula...
