constrained and consistent to reliably quantify the influence of aerosol loading on cloud droplet sizes. After constraining the spatial-temporal coincidence between satellite retrievals and in situ measurements, we selected 17 non-drizzle comparison pairs. For these cases the mean aircraft profiling times were within one hour of Terra overpass at both projected and un-projected (actual) aircraf...

The effects of exposure to televised thin and average size models on body dissatisfaction and actual food intake were examined. Normal weight female students (N=104) were exposed to a 30-min movie clip featuring beautiful girls. Half of them viewed the movie clip in normal screen size (4:3) and the other half viewed the same movie clip in broad screen size (16:9), in which the body size of the ...

Background: No scientific evidence exists regarding the amount of bone cement used and discarded in primarycemented Total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to identify the exact amount of bone cement utilizedfor component fixation in primary TKA.Methods: In a prospective study carried out at five centers, 133 primary cemented TKAs were performed. One packof 40g Palacos bone cem...

The use of digital radiography and templating software continues to become more prevalent in orthopedics as the number of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures increases every year. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of training level on the accuracy of digital templating for primary THA and TKA. Digital radiographs of 97 patients undergoing...

Permporometry IS a method by which the characterlstlcs of the mterconnectmg ‘active’ pores of an ultrafiltration membrane can be measured It 1s these ‘active’ pores that are responsible for the actual membrane performance Apphcatlon of permporometry on different membrane types, including ceramic as well as polymeric membranes, shows that the method can provide obJectwe mformatlon on the ‘active...

Optimization of inventory costs is the most important goal in industries. But in many models, the constraints are considered simple and relaxed. Some actual constraints are to consider the combinatorial production and purchase models in multi-products environment. The purpose of this article is to improve the efficiency of inventory management and find the economic order quantity and economic p...

this study was focused on the effect of wattle trait on body sizes and scrotal dimensions of traditionally reared wad bucks in the derived savannah environment. data were collected from 153 bucks ranging from 4 months to 2 years of age and this included, scrotal length, scrotal circumference, body weight, height at withers, body length and chest girth. parameters for wattle traits included, wat...

Programs written in C are inherently vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks. Functions are frequently passed pointers as parameters without any hint of their sizes. Since their sizes are unknown, most run time buffer overflow detection techniques instead rely on signatures of known attacks or loosely estimate the range of the referenced buffers. Although they are effective in detecting most atta...
