INTRODUCTION A Weil osteotomy with internal fixation can match the preoperative plan by precisely setting the metatarsal length; however 10 to 30% of patients end up experiencing postoperative stiffness. A percutaneous distal metatarsal mini-invasive osteotomy (DMMO) is a purely extra-articular technique; metatarsal length is set automatically upon weight bearing of the foot. The goal of this s...

This paper describes a new toolkit SCARF for doing speech recognition with segmental conditional random fields. It is designed to allow for the integration of numerous, possibly redundant segment level acoustic features, along with a complete language model, in a coherent speech recognition framework. SCARF performs a segmental analysis, where each segment corresponds to a word, thus allowing f...

The singular stress field which develops at the interface corner of a scarf joint between two bonded elastic solids is investigated. Depending upon the scarf angle and the material elastic properties, the singular stresses at a radial distance r from an interface corner may be expressed in the form Hrλ−1, where λ − 1 is the order of the stress singularity and H is the intensity of the singulari...
