It is clear that we cannot distinguish the sane from the insane in psychiatric hospitals. The hospital itself imposes a special environment in which the meanings of behavior can easily be misunderstood. The consequences to patients hospitalized in such an environment-the powerlessness, depersonalization, segregation, mortification, and self-labeling-seem undoubtedly countertherapeutic. I do not...

PURPOSE the aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of contracted immobile massive rotator cuff tears mobilised through an arthroscopic interval slide technique versus massive mobile cuff tears directly repaired without any mobilisation. METHODS twenty-five patients who underwent arthroscopic repair for massive rotator cuff tears with a minimum of 18 months follow-up were included....

Robust state estimation for states evolving on compact manifolds is achieved by employing a point-mass filter. The proposed implementation emphasizes a sane treatment of the geometry of the problem, and advocates separation of the filtering algorithms from the implementation of particular manifolds.

In this paper a new approach for the prediction of breast cancer has been made by reducing the features of the data set using PCA (principal component analysis) technique and prediction results by simulating different models namely SANE (Symbiotic, Adaptive Neuro-evolution), Modular neural network, Fixed architecture evolutionary neural network (F-ENN), and Variable Architecture evolutionary ne...

This paper presents a formal approach to the verification and evaluation of a programming/machine model being developed at the University of Amsterdam, called the SANE Virtual Processor (SVP). The model is being used as a basis for designing and programming chip multiprocessors and to support self-adaptive computation. This model can provide solutions for effectively programming distributed mul...
