Amputation of a body part, whether as a result of trauma or surgical intervention, is almost always associated with awareness of, and sensations referred to, the missing body part. These sensations were first noted by Ambroise Pare, a French military surgeon in the middle of the 16th century. Mitchel first used the term `phantom' in 1871 from his observations and medical studies of the American...

Case 1.-This patient was a man of 42 years. Twentyone years before, a left posterior frontal abscess had appeared spontaneously under the scalp. The abscess ruptured after three weeks, and thereafter a chronic sinus discharged intermittently. Local surgical exploration was undertaken on three occasions at long intervals, at the latest of which, bone an inch thick was chiselled away, releasing s...

tion amongst Oriental races. In fact, it m?y be said to be the dental nil men t of the Orient, as dental caries is of the Occident, It is, however, widespread amongst Western races, and perhaps especially so amongst the European population of the United States of America. Perhaps for reasons not entirely unconnected with the last statement, moie rubbish has probably been written about alveolar ...

The disfigurement resulting from loss of an eye can cause significant psychological as well as social consequences for both the patient and family. Ambroise Pare, a French surgeon-dentist, is considered the pioneer of modern artificial eyes. In 1944 Murphy and Nirronen fabricated physiologic ocular prosthesis in dental corps of US Navy [1]. An ocular prosthesis does not provide vision; but give...

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for State-Space Network Realization Philip E. Paré Department of Computer Science, BYU Master of Science This thesis presents the formulation and solution of a new problem in systems and control theory, called the Network Realization Problem. Its relationship to other problems, such as State Realization [1] and Structural Identifiability [2], is shown. The mo...

We analyze in details a simplified configuration of a compensation method based on a negative nonlinearity. It is shown that one can cascade the compensation of dispersive and self-phase modulation effects accumulated along a communication line without serious degradation in the quality of the transmitted signal. Anomalous and normal dispersion regimes are compared. Amplifier noise and higher-o...
