The objective of this study is to present an efficient and robust method of building roof reconstruction by fusing laser range data and aerial images through CSR (Construct-Shape-Refine) procedures. The algorithm starts by extracting 3D line features from laser range data by using the semi-automatic 3D line feature extraction engine. After 3D line features are extracted and regarded as input da...

We report a case of a 12-year-old male child who presented with a gradual onset exopthalmos involving the left eye. The plain radiographs of the skull showed hyperostosis of the left orbital roof. The computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed an intradiploic orbital roof tumor with expansion of both the tables of the orbital roof. The tumor was completely excised by an extradural route using a...

Swine are permissive to infections with both avian and human influenza Aviruses, facilitating genomic reassortment among viruses from multiple host species. As a result, swine have been identified as mixing vessels for influenza A viruses and a source of emergence for novel viruses, including those with pandemic potential [1, 2]. Since July 2011, human infections with influenza A virus of swine...

In an urban area, the roof is the only available surface that can be utilized for installing solar photovoltaics (PV), and the active surface area depends on the type of roof. Shadows on a solar panel can be caused by nearby tall buildings, construction materials such as water tanks, or the roof configuration itself. The azimuth angle of the sun varies, based on the season and the time of day. ...

The roof plate is a signalling centre positioned at the dorsal midline of the central nervous system and generates dorsalising morphogenic signals along the length of the neuraxis. Within cranial ventricles, the roof plate gives rise to choroid plexus, which regulates the internal environment of the developing and adult brain and spinal cord via the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid. Using the f...

In recent times, warping has received a lot of attention in the geophysical community as a robust tool for estimating similarity between signals in general and residuals for tomography in particular. In the context of tomography and waveform inversion, the problem of estimating model parameters (e.g., wave propagation velocities) can be formulated in both data and migrated domains. Warping allo...

Mr J. M. Cotterill exhibited a patient after LAMINECTOMY FOR PARALYSIS of two years' standing, the result of spinal caries. The symptoms of spinal mischief began when the patient was set. 36, and signs of pressure on the cord developed rapidly. For six months before the operation there had been complete motor and sensory paralysis of the lower half of the body. There was incontinence of urine a...
