Probabilistic Finite Element (FE) models have recently been developed to assess the impact of experimental variability present in knee wear simulator on predicted Total Knee Replacement (TKR) mechanics by determining the performance envelope of joint kinematics and contact mechanics. The gold standard for this type of analysis is currently the Monte Carlo method, however, this requires a larger...

The goal of one-class classification is to distinguish the target class from all the other classes using only training data from the target class. Because it is difficult for a single one-class classifier to capture all the characteristics of the target class, combining several one-class classifiers may be required. Previous research has shown that the Random Subspace Method (RSM), in which cla...

A low glucosinolate content (21.8 mmol g) Brassica napus seed meal (RSM) applied to orchard soils altered communities of both pathogenic and saprophytic soil micro-organisms. RSM amendment reduced infection by native and introduced isolates of Rhizoctonia spp. and recovery of Pratylenchus spp. from apple roots. Root infection by Rhizoctonia solani AG-5 was also suppressed in split-root assays w...

BACKGROUND Mesorectal margin tumour involvement is a predictor of local recurrence in rectal carcinoma and an indication for postoperative radiotherapy in suitable patients. However, the prevalence of non-peritonealised surgical margin involvement in ascending colon carcinoma is unknown. AIMS To test the hypothesis that retroperitoneal surgical margin (RSM) tumour involvement occurs in distal...

State machine replication is a common approach for building fault-tolerant services. A Replicated State Machine (RSM) typically uses a consensus protocol such as Paxos [1] to decide on the order of updates and thus keep replicas consistent. Using Paxos, the RSM can continue to process new requests, as long as more than half of the replicas remain operational. If this bound is violated, however,...

The growth of Streptococcus thermophilus ST12 (ST12) in liquid milk, reconstituted from low-heat skim milk powder reconstituted skim milk (RSM) and in RSM with rennet addition (r-RSM) at 40°C was monitored by microcalorimetry. It was shown that the growth rate of bacteria decreased in renneted samples in comparison with liquid RSM starting from certain sizes of the colonies ("deviation moments"...

The Resource Space Model RSM and Semantic Link Network SLN are models of future interconnection environment, and the combination of them forms a rich semantic layer for the next-generation web. This paper investigates the combination between RSM and SLN. The methods of the transformation between RSM and SLN are proposed. From the perspective of transformation, the correlations between the norma...

The aim of the present study was to examine the reliability of a novel multi-direction repeated sprint ability (RSA) test [RSM; 10 × (6 × 5-m)] compared with a RSA with one change of direction [10 × (2 × 15-m)], and the relationship of the RSM and RSA with Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) and jump performances [squat jump (SJ) and counter-movement-jump (CMJ)]. Thirty-six (ma...

The outer coating of an optical fiber cable protects the optical fiber, and the contraction rate of the outer coating can affect the communication capacity and distance, so the contraction rate is often regarded as the key factor in defining the quality of an optical fiber cable. For this reason, using the example of the circular single-pin optical fiber cable manufacturing process of the large...
