We developed a sliding-window cross-correlation (SCC) detection technique and applied the technique to continuous waveforms recorded by the Cooperative New Madrid Seismic Network stations following the 18 April 2008 Illinois earthquake. The technique detected more than 120 aftershocks down to ML 1.0 in the 2 week time window following the mainshock, which is three times more than the number of ...

The aims of this study were to propose a minimally invasive lateral approach technique for maxillary sinus floor elevation (MSFE) with simultaneous implant placement and evaluate the surgical outcome complications technique. This reviewed 49 surgeries MSFE (n = 83) using approach. A circular shape window diameter 5 6 mm an area 20–30 mm2 was made on wall sinus. After Schneiderian membrane, xeno...

A method for locating auditory brain stem implant electrodes that have been placed in the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle is described. CT bone window images are "inverted" to black on white, then manually superimposed onto soft-tissue window images to enable identification of electrodes in relation to soft-tissue structures.

We present improvements to algorithms for efficient exponentiation. The fractional window technique is a generalization of the sliding window and window NAF approach; it can be used to improve performance in devices with limited storage. Window NAF splitting is an efficient technique for exponentiation with precomputation for fixed bases in groups where inversion is easy (e.g. elliptic curves).

Image Acquisition Ultrasonography of the larynx can be performed using standard ultrasound equipment suitable for musculoskeletal examinations. A 7-10 megahertz linear or microconvex transducer provides good resolution and adequate penetration. Sedation is often necessary, as it facilitates patient cooperation and relaxation to allow extension of the head permitting access to the laryngeal regi...
