Breast reconstruction with a pedicled transverse rectus abdominis muscle (TRAM) flap can result in significant abdominal wall donor-site morbidity. Although the pedicled TRAM flap donor area reinforced with mesh results in decreased rates of postoperative abdominal bulging and hernias, the best technique to accomplish that is yet to be elucidated. We present our novel technique of posterior com...

Chromatography, although primarily a separation technique, is mostly employed in chemical analysis in which High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an extremely versatile technique where analytes are separated by passage through a column packed with micrometer-sized particles. Now a day reversed-phase chromatography is the most commonly used separation technique in HPLC. The reasons fo...

This paper presents and discusses the application of blind source separation to astrophysical data obtained with the WMAP satellite.

Separation of the sexes is necessary for application sterile insect technique (SIT) in mosquitoes due to hematophagous habits and disease vector activity females. In this review we analyze history, current status, future perspectives development genetic sexing strains (GSS) Aedes (Diptera: Culicidae). Various control methods are reviewed, as their need sex-separation methods. We focus on areas ...

There is a growing interest in the area of Advanced Separation of Concerns (ASOC). This is evident in the numerous workshops on this topic that have been offered recently at the past OOPSLA, ICSE, and ECOOP conferences. An example of the work in this area is AspectOriented Programming (AOP). In AOP, new programming language constructs are provided that permit a better modularization of concerns...

In this paper, we investigate the importance of the high frequencies in the problem of convolutive blind source separation (BSS) of speech signals. In particular, we focus on frequency domain blind source separation (FD-BSS), and show that when separation is performed in the low frequency bins only, the recovered signals are similar in quality to those extracted when all frequencies are taken i...
