Tunneling is commonly used in several transition mechanisms. Some of the mechanisms discover the tunnel endpoint automatically by their own means. This paper describes several tunnel discovery mechanisms for IPv6 traversal beyond IPv4 legacy networks and suggests a new mechanism by which the DHCPv4 server can automatically provide configuration information about IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel. Dual stack ...

Carpal tunnel syndrome and Raynaud’s phenomena are common diseases and coexist in some patients while in others Raynaud’s phenomenon may be a clinical feature of carpal tunnel syndrome. I describe an interesting case with Raynaud’s phenomenon as a predominant presenting clinical feature due to an underlying mild carpal tunnel syndrome with preferential involvement of the autonomic fibers. Noctu...

In recent years, the volume of traffic is rapidly increasing. When vehicles running through the tunnel are more intensive or move slowly, the tunnel environment occurs deteriorated sharply, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle in the tunnel. This paper uses the result of previous mining association rules to select feature items and to establish four training samples divided by time...

During construction of the Šentvid tunnel a unique opportunity arose to measure the 3D displacements ahead of the motorway tunnel excavation face, since the exploratory tunnel was already constructed in the axis of the main tunnel. According to reviewed literature such measurements had not been performed yet and several problems regarding equipment and complete scheme of the experiment needed t...

BACKGROUND Tunnel enlargement and coalition following double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon autografts has not yet been sufficiently studied. HYPOTHESIS The incidence and the degree of femoral tunnel enlargement will be significantly greater than those for tibial tunnel enlargement after anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction using hamstring te...

While deviated wrist postures have been linked to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome, the relative contributions of posture-related changes in size, shape and volume of the carpal tunnel contribute to median nerve compression are unclear. The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to reconstruct the carpal tunnel from MRI data in neutral and non-neutral (30 degrees extension, 30 degrees...

Bone tunnel enlargement is a common phenomenon following reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Biomechanical and biological factors have been reported as potential causes of this problem. However, there is no analysis of forces between the graft and bone, as the graft changes direction at the bone tunnel entrance. The purpose of this study was to study these 'redirecting force...

BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed computed tomography (CT) is crucial for the reliable and accurate evaluation of tunnel enlargement after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the tibial tunnel enlargement at the tunnel aperture and inside the tunnel and to clarify the morphological change at the tunnel footprint 1 year after...

In this study, a numerical procedure is described for the transient response analysis of a submerged floating tunnel with reference of a designed tunnel in Japan. Tension legs seizing the tunnel are simply modeled by a spring elements and the tunnel itself is assumed by two rigid bodies between which a flexible joint is used. A recorded seismic excitation is used while the wave load is calculat...

This paper presents new valuable field data and a comprehensive approach to the determination of the rock mass classification and tunnel support systems for tunnels in unconsolidated sedimentary rocks as a special soil condition. The main objective of this study is to investigate and present the characteristics of the unconsolidated sedimentary rock by using the point load tests and slake durab...
