How to make IPv4 users utilize IPv6 applications is a typical scenario of the IPv4/IPv6 inter-operation. Nowadays, Tunnel Broker and 6to4 tunnel mechanisms are the popular solutions for this problem. This paper proposes a multihoming based algorithm MI46 to integrate Tunnel Broker and 6to4 tunnel mechanism. It overcomes the shortcomings of both Tunnel Broker and the 6to4 tunnel mechanism to for...

The boundary element technique is a practical problem-solving tool and useful in comparison to other currently popular alternatives. In this paper, a circular tunnel of a diameter 3.4 m is to be excavated through a clayey soil and surrounded by concrete lining of a thickness 0.2 m, so the clear internal diameter is 3.0 m. A plane strain analysis is adopted for such problem and the soil is assum...

In this thesis innovative tunnel devices based on new architectures, new fabrication approaches and novel material combinations are fabricated and investigated in detail. In particular, nanowire homoand heterojunction tunnel diodes based on Si and InAs-Si have been demonstrated for the rst time. The gained knowledge and understanding of tunnel diodes is applied to design and fabricate InAs-Si h...

tehran shomal highway passes through alborz mountains with a tunnel length of 6400 meters. there are two main tunnels. a full three-dimensional (3d) numerical analysis coupled with elasto-plastic material models was conducted on the inclined access tunnel. bending moment, axial force and the lining displacements due to the internal forces applied on the shotcrete lining are calculated. axial fo...

PURPOSE Tunnel widening after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a frequently described phenomenon. The possible etiology is multi-factorial with some mechanical and biological factors. Among those, we intended to determine the relation between the location and orientation of the femoral tunnel and the femoral tunnel enlargement after outside-in single-bundle ACL reconstruction....

Nine patients with myxoedema and carpal tunnel syndrome have been studied clinically and electrophysiologically to determine the presence or absence of the tarsal tunnel syndrome. Four patients had electrophysiological evidence of the tarsal tunnel syndrome, three of whom were mildly symptomatic. This would suggest that the tarsal tunnel syndrome is frequently encountered in myxoedema in associ...

Aorta-right atrial tunnel was diagnosed in a non-symptomatic 31-year old female patient. The Q p /Q s ratio was 2.5. Computed tomography and intraoperative views showed a posterior vascular tunnel with left aortic sinus and right atrium openings (Figs 1 and 2). The tunnel had no myocardial branches. We successfully closed both the openings. Figure 1: (A) A reconstructed computed tomographic vie...

INTRODUCTION: Clinical studies of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a pressure-induced neuropathy of the median nerve, are limited by the difficulty of evaluating the early stages of pathology. Thus, a validated animal model of CTS is an important need. A proper animal model would have comparable anatomy to the human carpal tunnel. In addition, because carpal tunnel syndrome is characterized by inc...

BACKGROUND An anatomic reconstruction of coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments typically requires drilling tunnels in the clavicle. An increase in fracture complications has been associated with graft tunnel position. A method of drilling clavicle tunnels that would better re-create anatomic function of the CC ligaments without increasing fracture risk would be an improvement. PURPOSE To evaluate t...
