Tendon transfers in birth brachial plexus palsy Many patients with birth brachial plexus palsy (BBPP) have good spontaneous recovery. This is because the injury is a low velocity injury compared to the adult palsy and hence the injury is mostly a stretch injury which has high potential to recover. Even if there is rupture of the roots the distance to bridge and to travel to the destination is c...

Transfers are often used by bureaucracies, especially in emerging economies, in an attempt to reward or punish their staff. Yet we know little about whether, and how, transfer mechanisms can help incentivize performance. Using transfers to induce performance is challenging, as heterogeneity in preferences over which postings are desirable non-trivially impacts the effectiveness of such schemes....

For over two-thirds of a century, federal estate tax law has expressly provided that property transferred by decedent during his lifetime will nonetheless be subject to if he retains the right property's income for remainder life. This rule-now embodied in section 2036 Internal Revenue Code-reflects Congress's belief such transfers are inherently testamentary: transferor continues enjoy "transf...

In this paper, some properties of the periodic shadowing are presented. It is shown that a homeomorphism has the periodic shadowing property if and only if so does every lift of it to the universal covering space. Also, it is proved that continuous mappings on a compact metric space with the periodic shadowing and the average shadowing property also have the shadowing property and then are chao...

We study Voevodsky’s slice tower for S-spectra, and raise a number of questions regarding its properties. We show that the 0th slice does not in general admit transfers, although it does for a P-loop-spectrum. We define a new tower for each of the higher slices, and show that the layers in these towers have the structure of Eilenberg-Maclane spectra on effective motives. 2010 Mathematics Subjec...

An expert must train a novice. The novice initially has no cash, so he can only pay the expert with the accumulated surplus from his production. At any time, the novice can leave the relationship with his acquired knowledge and produce on his own. The sole reason he does not is the prospect of learning in future periods. The profit-maximizing relationship is structured as an apprenticeship, in ...

We introduce another view of group theory in the field of interconnection networks. With this approach it is possible to specify application specific network topologies for permutation data transfers. Routing of data transfers is generated and all possible permutation data transfers are guaranteed. We present the approach by means of a kind of SIMD DSP.

INTRODUCTION: Free functioning muscle transfers (FFMTs), nerve grafting and nerve transfers have led to improved functional outcomes in brachial plexus injury (BPI) patients. Reports have shown that 39% of FFMTs and 26% of nerve transfers for elbow flexion achieve ≥ M4 elbow flexion strength.1 However, there remains a substantial number of patients with less favorable functional outcomes that n...
