Mid-metacarpal deep digital flexor (DDF) tenotomy on a standing horse can be performed with less risk of transecting the neurovascular bundles and adjacent soft tissue with the use of specially designed broad-blade butter-knife retractors. Authors’ address: Equine Health Studies Program, Department of Veterinary Clinic Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University, Baton R...

We re-examine physical state representations in the covariant quantization of bosonic string. We especially consider one parameter family of gauge fixing conditions for the residual gauge symmetry due to null states (or BRST exact states), and obtain explicit representations of observable Hilbert space which include those of the DDF states. This analysis is aimed at giving a necessary ingredien...

In earthquake engineering, damping devices are commonly used to enhance the energy dissipation capacity of structures and help control structural dynamic response under seismic excitation. design building with integration dampers, section sizes components amount reinforcement may be reduced so that performance structure remains comparable a conventional without dampers actions. Understandably s...

Purpose This paper aims to examine the impact of adverse personality traits (alexithymia, social inhibition, negative affectivity) and supervisor knowledge hiding on individual hiding. study also explores moderating role positive affectivity. Design/methodology/approach Partial least squares path modeling data collected from 518 Polish employees with higher education extensive professional expe...

This paper studies the downlink of a cloud radio access network (C-RAN) in which a centralized processor (CP) communicates with mobile users through base stations (BSs) that are connected to the CP via finite-capacity fronthaul links. Information theoretically, the downlink of a C-RAN is modeled as a two-hop broadcast-relay network. Among the various transmission and relaying strategies for suc...

OEnergy efficiency is a vital factor to promote sustainable development. In this paper, the directional distance function–global Malmquist–Luenberger model (DDF-GML) applied measure energy levels of 30 provinces in China from 2000 2017. Simultaneously, impacts economic growth targets and marketization on are empirically tested using generalized system moment estimation (SYS-GMM) mediation effec...

Facial expressions have been proven to be the most effective way for brain recognize human emotions in a variety of contexts. With exponentially increasing research emotion detection recent years, facial expression recognition has become an attractive, hot topic identify various basic emotions. Happy is one such with many applications, which more likely recognized by than other measurement inst...
