A new first break picking for three-component (3C) vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data is proposed to improve the estimation accuracy of first arrivals, which adopts gesture detection calibration and polarization analysis based on the eigenvalue of the covariance matrix. This study aims at addressing the problem that calibration is required for VSP data using the azimuth and dip angle of geop...

Safe Dynamic Positioning (DP) is crucial for the mission success of an offshore ship. The Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) has proven itself as a reliable propulsion system DP ships because it generates thrust forces in longitudinal and transverse direction very quickly accurately. fast generation VSP makes possible, addition to task, significantly reduce roll motion Due high accuracy reduced mo...

Inhibition of angiogenesis by targeting the VEGF signaling pathway (VSP) has proven to be a successful anticancer strategy in a growing number of solid tumors. Although VEGF signaling is critical for tumor angiogenesis, VEGF also plays important roles in homeostasis of normal vasculature. Early trials reported the development of hypertension in a significant fraction of patients receiving antia...

Virtual surgical planning (VSP) applicability has recently expanded to include midface reconstruction with free tissue transfer. For the midface, an area that is crucial both functionally and aesthetically, even minor reconstructions (in millimeter range) can make profound differences in form function. The use of VSP allows surgeon improve accuracy precision areas where millimeters drastically ...

Of 104 genotypically diverse methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates tested with the MicroScan WalkAway (Pos MIC 24 panel) and Vitek 2 (AST-P549 card) systems, 7 and 6 isolates, respectively, showed an oxacillin MIC of < or =2mg/liter. Most of these MRSA isolates were community acquired. However, if the cefoxitin screen of AST-P549 was also considered, MRSA detection failed ...

A myriad of extirpative surgical protocols for the management of benign tumors of the jaws have been presented in the literature. Through significant advancements in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology and surgical instrumentation, today surgeons have at their disposal robust technology-driven techniques that are aimed at improving surgical outcomes. Our ...

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The challenge of craniopagus separation is due to the complexity of the venous plexus and shared dural venous sinus. Therefore, separation of the venous system of the twins requires meticulous planning and stereoscopic appreciation of the vasculature. Both VSP and 3D printed models were critical as references of the venous anatomy during separation and to the survival of...
