conclusions the most relevant finding was that hook pinning in pauwels type iii fracture may result in delayed :union: or non:union: due to significantly increased stress of a traction force at the fracture site that works to displace the fracture. however, in a pauwels type i fracture, increased compression stress contributes to stabilize it. surgeons are recommended not to treat pauwels type ...

Cache compression is a promising technique to increase cache capacity and to decrease on-chip and off-chip bandwidth usage. Unfortunately, directly applying well-known compression algorithms (usually implemented in software) leads to high hardware complexity and unacceptable decompression/compression latencies, which in turn can negatively affect performance. Hence, there is a need for a simple...

introduction: although aging is the most important risk factor for alzheimer's disease (ad), there is evidence indicating that neuroinflammation may contribute to the development and progression of the disease. several studies indicated that minocycline may exert neuroprotective effects in rodent models of neurodegenerative diseases. nevertheless, there are also other studies implying that...

The compression of soft elastic matter and biological tissue can lead to creasing, an instability where a surface folds sharply into periodic self-contacts. Intriguingly, the unfolding upon releasing strain is usually not perfect: small scars remain that serve as nuclei for creases during repeated compressions. Here we present creasing experiments with sticky polymer surfaces, using confocal mi...

Attosecond extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulses generated in gases via high-order harmonic generation typically carry an intrinsic positive chirp. Compression of such pulses has been demonstrated using metallic transmission filters, a method with very limited tunability. We compare here the compression achievable with a diffraction grating based method with that of metallic filters using simulated ...

There has been an increasing interest in the use of autonomous underwater vehicles for ocean exploration. Side scan sonars are often installed onboard these vehicles to survey the sea floor. In this context, the need to transmit side scan sonar images over an acoustic low-bandwidth channel calls for the use of compression techniques. This paper proposes a wavelet-based method for compressing si...

We present a compile{time method to select compression and distribution schemes for sparse matrices which are computed using Fortran 90 array intrinsic operations. The selection process samples input sparse matrices to determine their sparsity structures. It is also guided by cost functions of various sparse routines as measured from the target machine. The Fortran 90 array expression is then t...
