Breakwaters for outer harbor facilities are considerably affected by wave conditions, rendering the control of caisson motion difficult. Its during breakwater installation is important to improve its operational efficiency and safety. In recent years, has been studied using 3D solid-gas-liquid three-phase simulations. Nakamura et al. (2021) investigated dynamic characteristics floating caissons...

OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of formula 1/2ABC with 2/3SH on volume estimation for hypertensive infratentorial hematoma. METHODS One hundred and forty-seven CT scans diagnosed as hypertensive infratentorial hemorrhage were reviewed. Based on the shape, hematomas were categorized as regular or irregular. Multilobular was defined as a special shape of irregular. Hematoma volume was calcula...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION The objective of the present study was to evaluate the risk of diabetic macrovascular complications and in-hospital mortality among diabetic patients with irregular physician visits. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a health insurance-based retrospective cohort study using claims data from diabetic patients who were newly hospitalized between April 2010 and September 201...

Following acquired brain damage, a native English speaking patient (AW) encountered problems accessing phonology in speech production, while her ability to access word meaning appeared to be intact. In a series of tasks, AW was presented either with a verb, and was asked to produce its past tense or past participle (walk --> "walked"), or with a noun, and was asked to produce its plural (glove ...

In this paper we present a novel method for dominant motion analysis in crowded scenes, based on corner features. Corner features identify characteristic regions in the crowd. In our method, we initialize corner features on the scene, and advect them through optical flow. Approximating the moving corner features to individuals, their interaction forces, represented as endothermic reactions in a...

Languages such as High Performance Fortran are used to implement parallel algorithms by distributing large data structures across a multicomputer system. To hide communication behind computation, we introduce an optimization scheme, message strip-mining. By using this scheme, the communication overhead is almost completely overlapped with the subsequent computation. We have implemented the prop...

A new fully automatic procedure for the construction of histograms is proposed. It consists of constructing both a regular and an irregular histogram and then choosing between the two. To choose the number of bins in the irregular histogram, two different penalties motivated by recent work in model selection are proposed. A description of the algorithm and a proper tuning of the penalties is gi...

The stochastic transition in the classical Hamilton System describing the hydrogen atom in a strong magnetic field is observed by means of Poincaré mappings, and discussed in the framework of the gênerai theory of tori destruction. The existence of the third intégral in the regular région below the critical energy can explain the exponentially small séparations at avoided crossings of the energ...
