INTRODUCTION A computer model quantified glenoid base - plate surface contact area and the amount of humeral and glenoid bone removed by three different reverse shoulder prosthesis designs when implanted with various techniques. METHODS The computer model quantified differences in glenoid baseplate contact area and the cortical and cancellous humeral and glenoid bone removed to implant the 36...

The segregation distortion phenomenon occurs in Drosophila melanogaster males carrying an SD second chromosome and an SD+ homolog. In such males the SD chromosome is transmitted to the progeny more frequently than the expected 50% because of an abnormal differentiation of the SD+-bearing sperms. Three major loci are involved in this phenomenon: SD and Rsp, associated with the SD and SD+ chromos...

Signal processing is a data processing domain that contains a diversity of applications, including speech processing, image processing, radar, sonar, medical imaging, data communications, seismic processing, and many others. Despite the diversity of the applications, this processing domain has a very structured set of characteristics. These include real-time operation. dominance of arithmetic o...

The RDF Stream Processing (RSP) community has proposed several models and languages for continuously querying reasoning over streams the last decade. They each have their semantics, making them hard to compare. variety of approaches fostered both empirical theoretical research led design RSPQL, i.e., a unifying model RSP. However, an RSP API development under RSPQL semantics was still missing. ...

Relay deployments promise to alleviate the limitations of conventional macrocell networks, such as poor indoor penetration and coverage holes in a cost-efficient way. In this context, the capacity of the wireless relay link between a relay node (RN) and its serving base station (BS) has a crucial impact on the end-to-end performance. The deployment flexibility of RNs, which mainly stems from th...

let $r$ be a right artinian ring or a perfect commutative‎‎ring‎. ‎let $m$ be a noncosingular self-generator $sum$-lifting‎‎module‎. ‎then $m$ has a direct decomposition $m=oplus_{iin i} m_i$‎,‎where each $m_i$ is noetherian quasi-projective and each‎‎endomorphism ring $end(m_i)$ is local‎.

The Segregation distorter (SO) phenomenon in Drosophila melanogaster is characterized by the preferential recovery of Distorter second chromosomes in the progeny of heterozygous males. In some crosses, virtually all of the offspring of such males will carry the SD chromosome (compared to the expected 50% based on Mendelian segregation), and it is now known that the aberrant segregation ratios a...

The major components of the SD system have been examined in two natural populations of D. melanogaster to investigate how SD behaves and is maintained in nature and to estimate its impact and efficiency. A twofold approach was used: (1) direct measurements of segregation distortion in wild males and (2) measurement of sensitivity of wild SD (+) chromosomes to SD action. Characterization of newl...

The Regulatory Studies Program (RSP) of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University is dedicated to advancing knowledge of regulations and their impacts on society. As part of its mission, RSP produces careful and independent analyses of agency rulemaking proposals from the perspective of the public interest. Thus, the program’s comments on the Department of Health and Human Service’s (HHS) ...

We show that generic SU(2)-invariant random spin-1 chains have phases with an emergent SU(3) symmetry. We map out the full zero-temperature phase diagram and identify two different phases: (i) a conventional random-singlet phase (RSP) of strongly bound spin pairs [SU(3) "mesons"] and (ii) an unconventional RSP of bound SU(3) "baryons," which are formed, in the great majority, by spin trios loca...
