This is the fixed version of an article made available by an organization that acts as a publisher by formally and exclusively declaring the article "published". If it is an "early release" article (formally identified as being published even before the compilation of a volume issue and assignment of associated metadata), it is citable via some permanent identifier(s), and final copy-editing, p...

Multi-sided surfaces are important in several areas of Computer-Aided Geometric Design, including curve network based design, approximation of triangular meshes, hole filling, and so on. In the majority of surface representations, the boundary constraints entirely determine the interior of these patches, however, frequently there is a need to have additional design freedom for shaping the surfa...

We report on the expression of singular nominals in Burmese, an articleless language, from original elicitation work. Bare nouns are interpreted as definites, to which numeral tiq 'one' is added form indefinites. propose that restricts domain nominal a singleton, and its addition subject Non-Vacuity constraint; this source anti-uniqueness inference furthermore investigate availability anaphoric...

BACKGROUND Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are frequently used for lip augmentation, and a new filler has been developed with characteristics especially suited for the lips. METHODS Four European sites treated 60 subjects with Juvéderm(®) Volbella™ injectable gel in the perioral area, and subjects returned to the clinic at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months for follow-up. The primary effectiveness endp...

Model sampling has proved to be a practically viable method for decision-making under uncertainty, for example in imperfect-information games with large state spaces. In this paper, we examine the logical foundations of sampling-based belief revision. We show that it satisfies six of the standard AGM postulates but not Vacuity nor Subexpansion. We provide a corresponding representation theorem ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to measure test meal consumption and the changes in hunger and fullness during a test meal in obese individuals with and without binge eating disorder (BED) and normal-weight controls. METHOD Twelve women with BED, 12 obese control participants, and 12 normal-weight control participants participated in two single-item test meal sessions. In one session p...

Aim: The advent of 3D photoimaging and mammometrics has allowed for quantitative, volumetric breast analyses. This study uses 3D photoimaging and mammometrics to compare the postoperative morphometric outcomes of the modified Robertson technique to the more traditional Wise pattern inferior pedicle technique. Methods: Inferior pedicle reduction mammoplasty was performed using either a Wise patt...

Modifying eating behaviours may be an effective strategy to limit excess food intake, such as slower and mindfully. We hypothesized that regularly rating fullness whilst a standard meal in one course would increase post-meal satiety reduce intake subsequent during the same sitting. A between-subjects design was employed (n = 65; 75% female; mean age 26.7 (s.d. 9.5); body mass index 22.4 3.3)), ...

BACKGROUND Lateral displacement of breast implants and axillary fullness are common causes of patient dissatisfaction and reoperation following prosthetic breast reconstruction. Suture plication of the capsule and acellular dermal matrix slings have been described to address lateral implant malposition, but with unacceptably high rates of recurrence and additional cost, respectively. OBJECTIV...
