RESULTS The age range of 15-24 year-olds was affected most often (35.7...

while true do (noncritB; flagB := true; turn := A; waitfor (flagA = false) ∨ (turn = B); critB ; flagB := false) . A global state of our system S = A‖B (processes A,B running in parallel; they communicate by shared variables) can be described by the values of a few (boolean) variables, i.e., by a (column) vector from {0, 1} for some fixed k. Our system S thus determines (can be equated with) a ...

This 16-year retrospective study reports the data on 456 consecutive patients with 557 peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) between 1989 and 2004. Most patients were men (74%) and the mean age was 32.4 years. In 83% of cases the PNIs were isolated; combined lesions most commonly involved the ulnar and median nerves. Upper-limb PNIs occurred in 73.5% of cases; the ulnar nerve was most often injured,...
