This work tackles the problem faced by network/infrastructure providers of jointly selecting routing and functional split level to satisfy requests from virtual mobile network operators (vMNOs). We build a novel system model that brings together all involved elements features, embracing levels defined 3GPP packet switch fronthaul network. To our best knowledge, this is first provides solution f...

This article presents a pose fusion method that accounts for the possible correlations among measurements. The proposed can handle data problems whose uncertainty has both independent and dependent parts. Different from existing methods, uncertainties of various states or measurements are modeled on Lie algebra projected to manifold through exponential map, which is more precise than in vector ...

PURPOSE The goal of this retrospective study was to examine whether utilization of condylar positioning devices in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy leads to long-term benefits for temporomandibular joint function as compared with the manual positioning technique. PATIENTS AND METHODS The joint function of 49 patients (98 joints) who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy or bimaxillar...

This paper describes a two-dimensional computer simulation study of the impact induced breakage of brittle solid particles. The work started as an attempt to understand the effect of impact velocity on the induced breakage and in particular to explain why there is a shift in the slope of the size distribution at large impact velocities. The results indicate that the observed breakage pattern is...

The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and ramus after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with and without Le Fort I osteotomy. The subjects consisted of 87 Japanese patients diagnosed with mandibular prognathism with and without asymmetry. They were divided into 2 groups (42 symmetric patients and 45 asymmetric patients). The TMJ disc tissu...

in this study the wavelet neural network (wnn) and artificial neural network (ann) were used to simulate barley breakage percentage in combine harvester. the models have been trained using the same data conditions. air temperature, thresher cylinder speed, distance between thresher cylinder and concave (back and forth) and the percentage of barely moisture were as the input variables. the resul...

Thispaper describesthe fundamental physicalmotivationsfor small-scaleminimum surface-effect design,and presents a three degree-of-freedom micromanipulator design that incorporates a minimum surface.effect approach. The primary focus of the design is the split-tube flexure, a unique small-scale revolute joint that exhibits a considerably larger range of motion and significantly better multi-axis...

Distinguishing Physical and Mathematical Knots and Links Joel Hass (joint work with Alexander Coward ) The theory of knots and links studies one-dimensional submanifolds of R. These are often described as loops of string, or rope, with their ends glued together. Real ropes however are not one-dimensional, but have a positive thickness and a finite length. Indeed, most physical applications of k...
