analysis of the illustrations of dissections in miniatures, sculptures, medallions, titlepages of books, typographical ornaments, portraits of dissectors, anatomical theatres and caricatures on this theme, provides a comprehensive survey of a subject which until now could only be reached through painstaking research. The illustrations show clearly the passing of basic artistic ideas from one co...

Neural network architectures are proposed to model and control the Spark-Ignition (SI) engine idle speed. Static and dynamic multi-layer neural networks are used to develop plant models and plant inverse function models. A neural network is trained to learn the system’s input-output relationship. Another is trained to model the inverse relationship of the plant and is included in the controller...

We propose a collective approach for harnessing the idle resources (cpu, storage, and bandwidth) of nodes (e.g., home desktops) distributed across the Internet. Instead of a purely peer-to-peer (P2P) approach, we organize participating nodes to act collectively using collective managers (CMs). Participating nodes provide idle resources to CMs, which unify these resources to run meaningful distr...

STUDY DESIGN Experimental laboratory study supplemented by a case series. OBJECTIVES (1) To assess the effect of a 4-week intervention with a full-length insert on functional outcomes in patients with midfoot arthritis; (2) to examine the effect of the custom molded three-quarter-length (3Q) and full-length (FL) carbon graphite insert on plantar loading in patients with midfoot arthritis. B...

this paper analyzes an m/m/2 queueing system with two heterogeneous servers. both servers goes on vacation when there is no customers waiting for service after this server 1 is always available but the other goes on vacation whenever server 2 is idle. the vacationing server however, returns to serve at a low rate as an arrival finds the other server busy. the system is analyzed in the steady st...

In this paper we give a formal operational semantics for update operations on multilevel relations, i.e., relations in which individual data elements are classi ed at di erent levels. For this purpose, the familiar INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE operations of SQL are suitably generalized to cope with polyinstantiation. We conjecture that these operations are consistent (or sound) in that all relatio...
