BACKGROUND This report was designed to present a novel technique combining suture anchor and unicortical button fixation for distal triceps tendon repair. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION For anatomical reinsertion of an acute distal triceps tendon rupture, two suture anchors and one unicortical button forming a V-shaped configuration were used. The operative approach is described in detail. RESULTS E...

High dimensional data visualization is critical to data analysts since it gives a direct view of original data. We present a method to visualize large amount of high dimensional data. We divide dimensions of data into several groups. Then, we use one icon to represent each group, and associate visual properties of each icon with dimensions in each group. A high dimensional data record will be r...

This paper considers a two-echelon capacitated supply chain with two non-identical retailers and information sharing. We characterize the optimal inventory policies. We also study the benefits of the optimal stock rationing policy over the first come first served (FCFS) and the modified echelon-stock rationing (MESR) policies. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

In the article I present definitions of the concepts quality and quality assurance, which are basis for proposing a general definition of quality of word bases. The quality of word bases is the specifications that customer and producer agree upon, and includes linguistic and other user relevant considerations. This is exemplified with the revision work of a term record format, and work with a w...

Transshipment, the sharing of inventory among parties at the same echelon level of a supply chain, can be used to reduce costs. The effectiveness of transshipment is in part determined by the configuration of the transshipment network. We introduce chain configurations in transshipment settings, where every party is linked in one connected loop. Under simplifying assumptions we show analyticall...

We study when the operator f(Bw) is chaotic in the sense of Devaney on a Köthe echelon sequence space, where Bw is a weighted backward shift and f(z) = ∑∞ j=0 fjz j is a formal power series.

This paper, studies the coordination of two-echelon supply chains using a credit (delayed) payment option and/or a wholesale price discount offer. We develop models for optimizing individual members’, as well as supply chain’s objectives. These models lead to the determination of the retail price and the order quantity for the buyer, as well as the production batch size, wholesale discount and/...
