If ALIGNs or NOTIFYs are corrupted, but they are replaced in the data stream by expander(s) with valid ERROR primitives, the elasticity buffer of an expander or the frame recipient could overflow at a later time. If the expander determines that its elasticity buffer is getting full and it is due an ALIGN, it should be allowed to choose to delete the invalid dword (assuming it might have been an...

In the previous lecture we saw the definitions of eigenvalue expanders, edge expanders, and vertex expanders for d-regular graphs. To recap, in an eigenvalue expander, all except the first eigenvalue of the graph’s adjacency matrix are bounded below d. In an edge expander, every subset of vertices of size below a certain threshold has a large number of edges “going out” of the subset. And in a ...

Ancient corpora contain various multilingual patterns. This imposes numerous problems on their manual annotation and automatic processing. We introduce a lexicon building system, called Lexicon Expander, that has an integrated language detection module, Language Detection (LD) Toolkit. The Lexicon Expander post-processes the output of the LD Toolkit which leads to the improvement of f-score and...

In this lecture, we will focus on expander graphs (also called expanders), which are pseudoran-dom objects in a more restricted sense than what we saw in the last two lectures. The reader is also referred to the monograph [1] and the tutorial slides [2] for more detailed surveys of today's topics. Expander graphs are universally useful in computer science and have many applications in de-random...

BACKGROUND Tissue expanders are used in breast reconstruction after mastectomy to stretch the remaining tissue to create space for placement of permanent breast implants. The AeroForm™ Tissue Expander, developed by AirXpanders™ Inc., contains electronic components designed to activate the release of carbon dioxide from an internal reservoir to inflate the expander. Breast cancer patients who un...

This study analyzed occlusal radiographs to compare the transverse changes produced in patients treated with rapid maxillary expansion using two types of appliances. The sample consisted of 31 children aged 7 to 10.6 years, of both genders, with posterior cross-bite. Fifteen children were treated with a tooth-borne expander and 16 were treated with a tooth-tissue-borne expander. Occlusal radiog...

BACKGROUND In this finite element (FE) study, the stress distribution and displacement pattern was evaluated in the mid-palatal area and around circum-maxillary sutures exerted by bone-borne palatal expander (BBPE) in comparison with conventional HYRAX rapid palatal expander in unilateral cleft lip and palate. METHODS Computed tomography scan images of a patient with unilateral cleft palate w...

An organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a power cycle employing an organic working fluid. The term ORC is also applied generally to any Rankine cycle with a low-grade heat source (80° – 300 o C). Because ORC are often employed in small-scale applications, use of positive displacement equipment is favored over the centrifugal units used in large-scale power plants. A key feature of a positive displace...

Introduction: With the impossibility of prosthetic implantation with a definitive final volume due to dehiscence and posterior extrusion risks, the development of skin-sparing mastectomy provides an ideal condition for the use of a definitive expander implant. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate the use of a definitive expander implant and discuss its indications, cutaneous incision, and...
