Microlaryngeal surgery is a common and relatively safe otorhinolaryngological surgery. Its common complications include pain and numbness of the tongue, bruising of the lip, and chipped teeth. However, reports of subcutaneous emphysema of the neck with pneumomediastinum following microlaryngeal surgery are rare. A 69-year-old female developed swelling of her left-side cheek and neck after micro...

This paper presents a new approach for image segmentation by applying Pillar-Kmeans algorithm. This segmentation process includes a new mechanism for clustering the elements of high-resolution images in order to improve precision and reduce computation time. The system applies K-means clustering to the image segmentation after optimized by Pillar Algorithm. The Pillar algorithm considers the pi...

Although boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) and hexagonal-BN (hBN) are superb one-dimensional (1D) and 2D thermal conductors respectively, bringing this quality into 3D remains elusive. Here, we focus on pillared boron nitride (PBN) as a class of 3D BN allotropes and demonstrate how the junctions, pillar length and pillar distance control phonon scattering in PBN and impart tailorable thermal condu...
