Spruce trunk tapering corresponds closely to required resist bending forces caused by wind and gravity. Understanding why trunks (tree stems) are the size that they is important. However, this understanding fragmented into isolated schools of thought has been far from complete. Realistic calculations on minimum diameters needed moments gravity would be a significant step forward. advancements u...

An efficient and complete electromagnetic scattering model for multiple tree trunks above the ground is presented. The individual trunks are modeled by finite-length stratified cylinders, with an external corrugated bark layer. The ground is modeled by a dielectric half space underneath the cylinders, with a slightly rough interface. The spatial distribution of the cylinders is random over an e...

Variations of the brachial plexus occurs in the formation of trunks, divisions, and cords; in the origin and/or combination of branches; and in the relationship to the axillary artery and scalene muscles, however the make up of the terminal branches (components of the nerves) is unchanged [1]. The three cords of brachial plexus enter the axilla and are arranged according to their names around t...

In this article, an over-segmentation-based uphill clustering method for individual extraction of urban street trees from mobile laser scanning data is proposed to solve the problem that existing methods depend heavily on tree trunks and have poor results in complex environments where are blocked by cars green belts, crown touching or interlocking large. First, supervoxels generated over-segmen...

We report the case of a 58-year-old patient, with a three vessel disease with unstable angina. Due to refractory angina, she was referred to urgent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). In the preoperative evaluation were found severe obstructive lesions in the brachiocephalic trunk origin, left common carotid origin and left internal carotid artery. The patient underwent CABG, supra-aortic trun...

This document describes a common practice on how the existing metric of Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP) can be used as an alternative metric to the Traffic Engineering (TE) metric for Constraint Based Routing of MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering tunnels. This effectively results in the ability to perform Constraint Based Routing with optimization of one metric (e.g., lin...

The Golgi technique stain was used to reveal the cellular structure of the neostriatum (nucleus caudatus and putamen) in the guinea pig. The computerised reconstructions were made from Golgi impregnated neurones. On the basis of various criteria, 4 types of neurones were distinguished in the guinea pig neostriatum: 1. The rounded neurones (most numerous) with 5-8 thin dendritic trunks; 2. The t...

The nerves to the cervical and thoracic vertebrae were traced in 10 serially sectioned human embryos. It was found that the vertebral bodies receive nerve fibres from the trunks of the spinal nerves, anterior branches and meningeal branches of the spinal nerves, and from the sympathetic trunks. Slender twigs from the trunk of the spinal nerve arise close to the spinal ganglion and terminate in ...
