The aim of this study was to characterize impairment and subsequent recovery of postural control after spinal cord injuries. Experiments were carried out on rabbits with three types of lesion--a dorsal (D), lateral (L), or ventral (V) hemisection (HS) at T(12) level. The animals were maintaining equilibrium on a platform periodically tilted in the frontal plane. We assessed the postural limb/tr...

Gastric cancer has a high mortality rate worldwide, but it can be prevented with early detection through regular gastroscopy. Herein, we propose deep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system applying data augmentation to help doctors classify gastroscopy images as normal or abnormal. To improve the performance of learning, large amount training are required. However, collection med...

Abstract Determination of the polytropic index plasma in a magnetic field provides description physics ranging from laboratory Earth to black hole Universe. Accordingly, lot efforts have been devoted revealing dependence on field. A recent experiment performed nozzle reported dependency strength that changes 5/3 unity with decreasing strength. In this letter, we show does not depend if radial e...

Based on a literature precedent, preparation of methyl 4-azido-3,4,6-trideoxy-3-fluoro-alpha-D-mannopyranoside (18) was attempted via fluorination of methyl 4-azido-2-O-benzyl-4,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-altropyranoside with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST). Contrary to expectations, the reaction took place with retention of configuration at the site of the fluorination yielding methyl 4-azido-2-O...

Network monitoring applications are often used by service providers to monitor compliance with service level agreements (SLAs) made with customers and to trigger troubleshooting activities when service drops below guaranteed levels. These applications can also play a role in determining the amount of compensation service providers must give when service guarantees are not met. Many performance ...

The many benefits that cell phones provide are at times overshadowed by the problems they create, as when one person’s cell phone disrupts a group activity, such as a class, meeting or movie. Cell phone interruption is only highlighted by the ever increasing number of mobile devices we carry. Many tools and techniques have been proposed in order to minimize interruption caused by mobile devices...

Most complex systems are intrinsically dynamic in nature. The evolution of a dynamic complex system is typically represented as a sequence of snapshots, where each snapshot describes the configuration of the system at a particular instant of time. This is often done by using constant intervals but a better approach would be to define dynamic intervals that match the evolution of the system's co...

Assembly lines are flow-line production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity standardized commodities and more recently even gained importance in low volume production of customized products. Due to high capital requirements when installing or redesigning a line, configuration planning is of great relevance for practitioners. Accordingly, this attr...

Configuration change management provides a way for a manufacturer to become more competitive. Because of the short life and the large variety involved in commercial products, they must be configured accordingly. It is a task for the configuration change management. This paper presents an integrated model for modeling the change behavior of product parts, and for evaluating alternative suppliers...
