Considering the presence of large amounts of data in organizations today, the need to transform this data into useful information and subsequently into knowledge, increasingly gains attention. Process discovery is a technique to automatically discover process models from data in event logs. Since process discovery is gaining attention among researchers as well as practitioners, the quality of t...

OBJECTIVE To identify anatomical changes and skeletal maturity through radiographic analysis, allowing more accuracy for indication of surgical management of non-slipped hips in patients with epiphysiolisys. METHOD A retrospective study of the radiographs of 61 patients followed until the end of skeletal growth, assigned to two groups: 37 patients with unilateral epiphysiolysis, and 24 patien...

We study the problem of computing the k-visibility region in the memory-constrained model. In this model, the input resides in a randomly accessible read-only memory of O(n) words, with O(logn) bits each. An algorithm can read and write O(s) additional words of workspace during its execution, and it writes its output to write-only memory. In a given polygon P and for a given point q ∈ P , we sa...

Testing two-port memories requires the use of single-port tests as well as special two-port tests; the test strategy determines which tests to be used. Many two-port memories have ports which are read-only or write-only; this impacts the possible fault models, the tests for single-port and two-port memories, as well as the test strategy. This paper presents a test strategy for two-port memories...

If these statements are taken literally (which the theory allows us to do), they imply that God modified the design of the universe after the Fall (cf. Rom. 8:20−22). If he carried this through consistently, so that all parts of the universe conformed to the new design, then, after the Curse, the universe would again have been a going concern, and would again have appeared to have a history tha...

CONTEXT A passive knee-extension test has been shown to be a reliable method of assessing hamstring tightness, but this method does not take into account the potential effect of gravity on the tested leg. OBJECTIVE To compare an original passive knee-extension test with 2 adapted methods including gravity's effect on the lower leg. DESIGN Repeated measures. SETTING Laboratory. PARTICIPA...

INTRODUCTION Few studies have proved that physical therapy techniques are efficient in the treatment of scoliosis. OBJECTIVE To analyze the efficiency of the Klapp method for the treatment of scoliosis, through a quantitative analysis using computerized biophotogrammetry. METHODS Sixteen participants of a mean age of 15+/-2.61 yrs. with idiopathic scoliosis were treated using the Klapp meth...

Improving the efficiency of compressors has been one of the most important goals of researchers over the years. In this paper, three different methods are presented for parameterization and blade optimization of axial flow compressor. All methods consist of flow analysis tool, optimization algorithms, and parametric geometry generation tool, that are different in each approach. Objective functi...
