Purpose – Multitasking machining (MTM) systems have become increasingly sophisticated and expensive capital equipment. The lack of practical guidelines for selection of these machines can lead to significant undesirable machine attributes, application mismatch, and longer return on investment. The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight to numerous features and configurations of MTM syst...

In this research paper, the sensing capabilities of a tri circle split ring resonator shaped metamaterial is shown within X-band frequency range for detection various oil samples both theoretically and experimentally. Mathematical modelling was used to analyze sensor efficiency samples. A new sample holder has been made proposed structure, it showed significant performance. The simulated measur...

In this paper, we examine algorithmic issues related to the delayed multicast technique for video-ondemand delivery. We introduce the minimum total memory (MTM), minimum total traffic (MTT) and the minimum maximum memory per node (MMMN) delayed-multicast allocation problems. We examine these problems on two networks of practical interest, namely, the chandelier and the broom networks. We provid...

BACKGROUND Measurement of albuminuria to stratify risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not done universally in the primary care setting despite recommendation in KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) guidelines. Pharmacist medication therapy management (MTM) may be helpful in improving CKD risk stratification and management. METHODS We conducted a pragmatic, cluster-randomized t...

In this paper, we present several new attacks on multiple encryption block ciphers based on the meet-in-the-middle attack. In the first attack (GDD-MTM), we guess a certain number of secret key bits and apply the meet-in-the-middle attack on multiple ciphertexts. The second attack (TMTO-MTM) is derived from applying the time-memory trade-off attack to the meet-in-the-middle attack on a single c...

STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial with follow-up to 6 months. OBJECTIVE This was a comparative effectiveness trial of manual-thrust manipulation (MTM) versus mechanical-assisted manipulation (MAM); and manipulation versus usual medical care (UMC). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common conditions seen in primary care and physical medicine practice. M...

A hybrid added value optimisation – specifically a combination of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Methods Time Measurement (MTM) – uses appropriate methods to raise added value. Both, in the use of MTM and the use of Value Stream Mapping, raising productivity is the center of all thought processes. Other targets are the reduction of lead time in Value Stream Mapping as well as the standardisatio...

Myotubular myopathy (MTM) is a devastating pediatric neuromuscular disorder of phosphoinositide (PIP) metabolism resulting from mutations of the PIP phosphatase MTM1 for which there are no treatments. We have previously shown phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P) accumulation in animal models of MTM. Here, we tested the hypothesis that lowering PI3P levels may prevent or reverse the MTM disea...

The midnight temperature maximum (MTM) is studied using ion temperature data from the incoherent scatter radar at the Arecibo Observatory (18.31N, 66.21W). The MTM is characterized by fitting the radar data with a function that takes into account diurnal, semidiurnal and terdiurnal components. Under the hypothesis that the MTM is related to the amplification of the terdiurnal wave, a Gaussian a...

Objective. To observe the fellow eye in patients undergoing surgery on one eye for treating myopic traction maculopathy. Methods. 99 fellow eyes of consecutive patients who underwent unilateral surgery to treat MTM were retrospectively evaluated. All patients underwent thorough ophthalmologic examinations, including age, gender, duration of follow-up, refraction, axial length, intraocular press...
