Multimedia and graphics data including video, audio, and realistic animations, are entertaining, informative, and intuitive. The information is continuously updated, in which the timing of the data is part of their semantics, and must be maintained both within a data stream and between related data streams. Operating system support for the soft real-time needs of multimedia applications is cruc...

An osteoblastoma is a primary benign bone tumor, which is rarely seen in hand bones. Osteoblastoma is generally seen in spine, pelvis, and long bones. However, there are a few case reports of osteoblastoma in wrist and hand bones. To our knowledge, up to now, only one male patient with osteoblastoma in capitate bone was reported. We report the first female case of osteoblastoma of capitate bone...

The Mac OS X kernel (xnu) is a hybrid BSD and Mach kernel. While Unix-oriented rootkit techniques are pretty well known, Mach-based rootkit techniques have not been as thoroughly publicly explored. This paper covers a variety of rootkit techniques for both user-space and kernel-space rootkits using unique and poorly understood or documented Mac OS X and Mach features.

We report the case of a 22-year-old Marine who presented to the emergency department, after a martial arts exercise, with transient weakness and numbness in all extremities. Computed tomography cervical spine radiographs revealed os odontoideum. Lateral flexion-extension radiographs identified atlanto-axillary instability. This abnormality is rare and can be career ending for military members w...

L'hydatidose est une anthropozoonose due au développement de la forme larvaire du ténia Echinococcus granulosus chez l'homme. L'infestation humaine est accidentelle. Elle atteint le foie et le poumon dans 85 à 90 % des cas et l'os dans seulement 0.5 à 2 % des cas. Du fait de sa longue évolution, l'hydatidose osseuse est généralement découverte chez l'adulte. La douleur et la tuméfaction sont le...

In the last number of the Gazette I notice that Dr. McLeod, of Jeasore, relates a case of excision of the os calcis, and remarks that he io not aware that the operation has been -performed before in this country. It appears, however, that Dr. Smith had related a case in the Proceedings of the Bengal Branch of tho British Medical Association for August, 1806; and it may be worth while to state t...

The basic idea goes back to the 1970s: since then people have been trying to formally verify operating systems [4,10]. It’s the obvious place to start when you are serious about meaningful assurance for critical systems. The idea for formal verification is that programs are just mathematics in the end. And if you want to show beyond doubt that something is true in mathematics, you prove it. If ...

We reported that the Os mutation in ROP mice induced a 50% reduction in nephron number, glomerular hypertrophy, and severe glomerulosclerosis. We examined two mouse strains with the Os mutation, ROP Os/+ and C57 Os/+ mice, to determine whether the genetic background influenced the development of glomerulosclerosis. Nephron number was decreased by 50% in both ROP Os/+ and C57 Os/+ mice, and a gl...
