BACKGROUND In burn care, a well-acknowledged problem is the suboptimal scar outcome from skin grafted burn wounds. With the aim of improving this, we focused on a new technique: excision of the burn wound followed by primary closure, thereby using a skin-stretching device to stretch the adjacent healthy skin. The short- and long-term effect of Skin Stretch was compared to split skin grafting (S...

CrossAsia hat sich als erste Virtuelle Fachbibliothek das Archivieren amtlichen und halbamtlichen elektronischen Schrifttums zur Aufgabe gemacht. Ziel des Projektes ist die Erschließung, langfristige Sicherung und Bereitstellung der im Internet veröffentlichten Amtsdruckschriften aus Japan, Südkorea, der Volksrepublik China (inkl. Hongkong und Macao), Taiwan und Singapur und die Schaffung eines...

We propose a new type of guess-and-determine attack on the self-shrinking generator (SSG). The inherent flexibility of the new attack enables us to deal with different attack conditions and requirements smoothly. For the SSG with a length L LFSR of arbitrary form, our attack can reliably restore the initial state with time complexity O(2), memory complexity O(L) from O(2)-bit keystream for L ≥ ...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of increasing the duration of the recovery periods separating serial bouts of small sided games (SSG) of football on technical skills (TS). Twelve semi-professional footballers (mean ̆ SD; age 21 ̆ 3 years; VO2peak 64 ̆ 7 mL ̈min ̈kg ́1; playing experience 15 ̆ 3 years) completed two SSG sessions, consisting of 3 vs. 3 players and 6 bouts of 2 min,...

We theoretically research the four-wave mixing (FWM) and second-order sideband generation (SSG) in a hybrid optomechanical system under condition of pump on-resonance off-resonance, where an resonator is coupled to another nanomechanical (NR) via Coulomb interaction. Using standard quantum optics method input–output theory, we obtain analytical solution FWM SSG with strict derivation. According...

Time series averaging in dynamic time warping (DTW) spaces has been successfully applied to improve pattern recognition systems. This article proposes and analyzes subgradient methods for the problem of finding a sample mean in DTW spaces. The class of subgradient methods generalizes existing sample mean algorithms such as DTW Barycenter Averaging (DBA). We show that DBA is a majorize-minimize ...

This paper proposes a novel approach for detection of video songs sequences using audio clues from bollywood movies. Approach exploits the fact that how audio clues help us to differentiate song portion and non-song portion. The Proposed method relies on following phases: Movie segmentation, Audio Intensity Based Classifier (AIBC), Song Sequence Generator (SSG), and Audio Clues Based Classifier...

Cluster-based storage systems connected with TCP/IP networks are expected to achieve a high throughput by striping files across multiple storage servers. However, for the storage system interconnected with the TCP/IP network, several critical issues, like Incast effect and data access interference, invalidate the assumption that higher access parallelism always results in increased I/O throughp...

In present study, the fast dissolving tablets of Amoxicillin Trihydrate were prepared by direct compression technique using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as direct compressible diluents. Sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and croscarmillose sodium (CCS) used as synthetic superdisintegrants. The swelling indices of the superdisintegrants were also compared. Among both the superdisintegrants, crosc...

The flow and turbulence in an IC engine cylinder were studied using the SSG variant of the Reynolds stress turbulence closure model. In-cylinder turbulence is characterized by strong turbulence anisotropy and flow rotation, which aid in air-fuel mixing. It is argued that solving the differential transport equations for each turbulent stress tensor component, as implied by second-moment closures...
