Methods: Previously constructed digital animations of craniofacial surgery were upgraded in Maya 10 (Autodesk, San Rapheal, CA) in preparation for web-based simulation. These animations were exported into an internet cloud-based, surgical simulator produced by BioDigital Systems Inc. (New York, NY). High-definition intra-operative video recordings of all procedures were edited in Adobe Premiere...

We require an economic system to cater to individual wants to the maximum possible extent expressed formally by means of an efficiency condition. Because the set of efficient outcomes is a function of individual preferences, a successful system must elicit information about those preferences. That desideratum, along with the fact that the information disclosed by an individual will be dictated ...

Pallets and containers are reused for a long period of time circulated shared among consumers via pool system. Although attempts have recently been made to convert an EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) system in Korea, it is difficult calculate their mandatory recycling rates because they treated as the same waste, even though clearly different from disposable consumer goods plastic packagi...

This analysis has been done by modeling, solving and calibrating an international real business cycles (IRBC) model in period 1980-2009. The results show that when elasticity of subst...

Many prokaryotic and eukaryotic intracellular pathogens survive by altering the host cell through the export of proteins. In contrast to the well-studied prokaryotic export systems, knowledge of protein export in eukaryotic pathogens is scant. The recent discovery that a short protein sequence targets a protein for export from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum has shed light on the pos...
