Inflatable plstic splints have been in use for some time in the United States for the emergency splinting of fracures;t are also gaining popularity in casualty departmentsand clinics in the United Kingdom. Splints of this type cost essentially of a double-walled trAhsparent plastic jacket with a slide fastener and a screw valve in the outer _wa for tion (Pig,,1). The jacket is placed on the lim...

We review several historical landslide tsunami events and perform a set of numerical experiments to investigate the particular effects slide shape on impulsive waves generated by subaerial solid slide. The computational model is based OpenFOAM, which solves 2D RANS formulations with volume fluid method used capture air–water interface. consider triangular prism shaped slides in our introduce pa...

In this paper, we introduced a Korean spoken document retrieval system for lecture search. We automatically build a general inverted index table from spoken document transcriptions, and we extract additional information from textbooks or slide notes related to the lecture. We integrate these two sources for a search process. The speech corpus used in our system is from a highschool mathematics ...

Considerable research has been directed toward the development of rapid methods for the identification of air-borne microorganisms. The application of the fluorescent antibody technique (FAT) coupled with the impaction of contaminated air onto glass slides affords a rapid and specific method for the identification of air-borne Pasteurella tularensis. Early experiments presented problems of cros...

Level of Evidence, LoE; www.cebm.net [1]) and ii) their clinical relevance (AGO grades of recommendation) (table 1). All AGO Breast Committee members have declared their potential conflicts of interest. Here, we present the 2015 update of these guidelines, focusing on relevant changes introduced this year. The full version of the updated 2015 slide set is available online as a PDF file [2] in E...

The Burkard Volumetric Spore Trap is a common and efficient instrument used to collect outdoor air samples. In North America, two slide counting methods have been widely used by aerobiologists: the single longitudinal traverse method and the twelve transverse traverse method. The purpose of this study was to compare the two counting methods by assessing fungal spore concentrations of ascospores...

This study aims to quantify and compare the accuracy of traditional radiostereometric analysis (RSA), fluoroscopic RSA (fRSA), and optical tracking systems. Three phantoms were constructed, each having three stainless steel spheres and three reflective markers. One phantom was mounted to the base of a precision cross-slide table, one to the base of a precision rotation table, and the third was ...

This work analyses the mobilization of infinite natural slopes that are initially partially saturated. Starting from dry conditions (the water table is assumed to be deep, far slope surface), soil shear strength will decrease when wetting front advances surface. First, geometry failure mechanism can develop because such reduction determined. Second, after causes progressive in strength, slide s...

The effects of method of droplet analysis, reader of Teflon slides and distance on mass median diameter of a Cythion aerosol cloud were examined in the calibration of an Army Insecticide Measuring System (AIMS). There were no significant differences in results among readers and between the AIMS and readers. There were slight but statistically significant differences between readers of Teflon sl...
