PURPOSE To review the outcome of less invasive stabilisation system (LISS) plating for complex distal femoral fractures. METHODS Records of 6 men and 11 women who underwent LISS plating for complex distal femoral fractures from September 2001 to August 2005 were reviewed. One patient who died 12 months after surgery due to a cardiac problem was excluded. The mean age of the remaining patients...

OBJECTIVE Proximal tibia fractures with metaphyseal comminution present a difficult treatment challenge. The Less Invasive Skeletal Stabilization (LISS) internal fixator system has theoretical advantages (minimally invasive fixed angle construct) for the treatment of these injuries. This report presents clinical results of the LISS system for treatment of complex proximal tibia fractures and il...

BACKGROUND Fractures of the intertrochanteric hip are common and the treatment of unstable fractures generally requires an operative approach. In elderly patients, osteoporosis makes internal fixation problematic and frequently contributes to failed fixation and poor clinical results. We have attempted to apply the Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS) in reverse position for the repair of ...

 Abstract— Satellite Remote sensing with repetitive and pan viewing and multispectral capabilities, is a powerful tool for mapping and monitoring the ecological changes. Analysis of the remote sensing data is faced with a number of challenges ranging from type of sensors, number of sensors, spectral responses of satellite sensors, resolutions in different domains and qualitative and quantitati...

The Uanium mineralization within the Vempalli dolomites of Cuddapah Super group in Mabbuchintalapalli, , Tummalapalli area falling in the Survey of India Toposheet No. 57 J/7. The Remote Sensing data obtained from IRS P6 LISS III imagery of both the areas is taken as reference for the Interpretation studies. The Remote Sensing data obtained from IRS P6 LISS III imagery of both the areas is take...

IRS-P6 spacecraft provides a unique opportunity of acquiring simultaneously multispectral (MS) data in three different spatial resolutions at 5.8 m, 23.5 m and 56 m, respectively, from LISS-4, LISS-3 and AWIFS sensors. Of these, spectral bands of the AWIFS (excepting the MIR band) have been designed to cover a 100% albedo, and with 10 bits per pixel to provide a good distribution of grey values...

The dynamic behaviors of water droplets on a slippery surface are significant to practical anti-icing applications. Herein, the impact and sliding behavior lubricant-infused surfaces (LISs) were investigated with high-speed camera. LISs prepared by infusing perfluoropolyether oils into anodized porous surfaces. results show that maximum spreading diameter retraction velocity droplet increased W...

In this work, we introduce the Linear Integer Secret Sharing (LISS) scheme, which is a secret sharing scheme done directly over the integers. I.e., the generation of shares is done by an integer linear combination of the secret and some random integer values. The reconstruction of the secret is done directly by a linear integer combination of the shares of a qualified subset of the parties. The...
