BACKGROUND Pedicle-screw-based posterior dynamic stabilization devices are designed to alleviate the rate of accelerated degeneration of the vertebral level adjacent to the level of spinal fusion. A new pedicle-screw-based posterior dynamic stabilization device- the Awesome Dynamic Rod System was designed with curve cuts on the rods to provide flexibility. The current study was conducted to eva...

The two official sources for aviation weather reports both provide weather information to a pilot in a textual format. A number of systems have recently become available to help pilots with the visualization task by providing much of the data graphically. However, two types of aviation weather data are still not being presented graphically. These are airport-specific current weather reports (kn...

In this paper we describe the Agent World Editor, a tool for designing multi-agent systems and generating executable agent code. The tool also unifies the handling of different agent frameworks through an abstract agent model and an extensible transformation infrastructure. Currently, the tool supports three different agent frameworks of the JIAC family, and we feel confident that the approach ...

in the colon and the evil results that ensue. In this direction Sir Arbuthnot Lane has done much to stimulate interest, to excite admiration, and indeed to inspire awe into the hearts of not a few of us.

Experiences of awe and wonder are vital to science innovation. In this practice insight we explore how these emotions shape the culture communication. doing so, examine exclusively nature- place-based experiences for often features resource-limited settings. We then describe strategies awe- wonder-centred communication beyond reliance on nature or power place by detailing a successful hybrid re...
