Geliş Tarihi : 09.06.2009 Kabul Tarihi : 17.12.2009 introDuction Treatment of complicated fractures and soft tissue defects of the lower extremity depends on many factors such as the energy of the trauma, the anatomic location and the morphology of the wound, concomitant injuries and diseases and the age of the patient. With rapid advances and increased success rates, microvascular surgery beca...

Landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW), which include unexploded ordnance (UXO) and abandoned explosive ordnance, represent a major threat to civilian. This demands that all the mines and ERW affecting the places where ordinary people live must be cleared, and safety of people in areas that have been cleared must be guaranteed. UXO is explosive ordnance that has been primed, fuzzed, arme...

This paper presents a few properties of the polarization tensor for conducting and magnetic objects to describe and classify the objects. In order to achieve this, the polarization tensor of the objects are numerically determined by the previous hp-FEM method. We then focus on the polarization tensor for magnetic but non-conducting objects. After that, the polarization tensor for translated and...

This paper presents a design for a visual display to be added to mine detection equipment. It is an application of the tenets of calm computing to a safety-critical system by putting cognition outside the mind, aligning inputs within the centre of attention and along the periphery, and juxtaposing stimuli in close proximity to the source of the information, all with the aim of increasing safety...

This paper proposes multitask learning to tackle several problems in remote sensing data classification. The method alleviates sample selection bias by imposing cross-information in the classifiers through matrix regularization. We consider the support vector machine as core learner and two regularization schemes for multitask learning. In the first one, we use the Euclidean distance of the pre...

Abstract The finite element model is established based on the bench test of landmine blast protection package. effect air gap between package and base plate as well stiffness deformation are investigated. Aluminum sandwich packages designed effects suppression studied using model. results show that not conducive to plate. Increasing benefit plate, however, it necessary consider influence corres...

Abstract Calcaneus has an important functional role in walking, running, gait and transferring 80% of total weight. Due to the paramount calcaneus function, there is a trend toward ‘below knee amputation’ for such heel injuries, associated with complete loss calcaneus. Complex calcaneal defects represent reconstructive challenge, due few reported cases literatures, limited surgical options, lac...

Sensor and algorithm fusion is playing an increasing role in many application domains. As detection and recognition problems become more complex and costly (for example, landmine detection and automatic target recognition), it is apparent that no single source of information can provide the ultimate solution. However, complementary information can be derived from multiple sources. Given a set o...
