This paper addresses the issue of characterizing the respective impact of fault injection techniques. Three physical techniques and one software-implemented technique that have been used to assess the fault tolerance features of the MARS faulttolerant distributed real-time system are compared and analyzed. After a short summary of the fault tolerance features of the MARS architecture and especi...

Since the Mosaic browser was introduced with its ability to display images, there has been a proliferation in the number of Web pages using a combination of text and image-heavy design with the use of images contributing heavily to slow-loading sites. Studies have shown that surfers spend a lot of time waiting impatiently for Web pages to emerge on the screen, and HCI guidelines indicate that 1...

Introduction: Orexin A is a hypothalamic neuropeptide, widely distributed in many parts of the central nervous system and perhaps due to this reason, this neuropeptide is involved in many physiological functions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lateral cereberoventricular injection of orexin A on distance, velocity and swimming time in rats. The results were analyzed...

OBJECTIVE Retrobulbar and peribulbar injections are common ophthalmologic procedures used to deliver anesthetics and other medications for ophthalmic therapy and surgery. These injections, typically performed without any type of guidance, can lead to complications that are rare but visually devastating. The needle may penetrate the optic nerve, perforate the globe, or disperse toxic quantities ...

The fault injection techniques have been recognized for a long time as necessary to validate the dependability of a system by analysing the behaviour of the devices when a fault occurs. Reconfigurable hardware is appropriate to implement and test prototypes by synthesizing descriptions in high-level languages such as VHDL. Run-Time Reconfiguration (RTR) is a wellknown technique that reconfigure...

INTRODUCTION The demand for intravitreal therapy has increased dramatically with the introduction of vascular endo-thelial growth factor inhibitors. Improved utilisation of existing resources is crucial to meeting the increased future demand. We investigated time spent preparing intravitreal injection treatment using either prefilled syringes or vials in routine clinical practice. METHODS We ...

BACKGROUND We tested the feasibility of targeted left ventricular (LV) mural injection using real-time MRI (rtMRI). METHODS AND RESULTS A 1.5T MRI scanner was customized with a fast reconstruction engine, transfemoral guiding catheter-receiver coil (GCC), MRI-compatible needle, and tableside consoles. Commercial real-time imaging software was customized to facilitate catheter navigation and v...

In the time-dependent simulation of pure states dealing with transport in open quantum systems, the initial state is located outside of the active region of interest. Using the superposition principle and the analytical knowledge of the free time evolution of such a state outside the active region, together with absorbing layers and remapping, a model for a very significant reduction of the com...
