Deep learning has given way to a new era of machine learning, apart from computer vision. Convolutional neural networks have been implemented in image classification, segmentation and object detection. Despite recent advancements, we are still in the very early stages and have yet to settle on best practices for network architecture in terms of deep design, small in size and a short training ti...

In the current article, a combination of the differential transform method (DTM) and Padé approximation method are implemented to solve a system of nonlinear differential equations modelling the flow of a Newtonian magnetic lubricant squeeze film with magnetic induction effects incorporated. Solutions for the transformed radial and tangential momentum as well as solutions for the radial and tan...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the properties of the median nerve and the flexor retinaculum within the carpal tunnel with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) under two conditions: (a) fingers extended, and (b) fingers in an isometric squeeze grip. METHODS Thirty-Four volunteers participated in this experimental study. The flexor retinaculum and median nerve characteristics wer...

OBJECTIVE to evaluate the average resulting area from the Pressure x Time curves resulting from the manometric anorectal exam and compare it with the support capacity of voluntary squeeze. MATERIALS AND METHODS the data set was represented by data from 11 exams from continent patients and eight exams from patients with grade III fecal incontinence. The manometric curves were delineated, and t...

Muscular patterning can be a contributor of positional posterior shoulder instability. Failure to recognize this pattern may lead to unnecessary surgical treatment with high failure rate. We analyzed the results of a new simple clinical test (hand squeeze test). The test is regarded positive, if during squeezing with the contralateral hand and elevation of the involved arm, in pronation, no pos...

The theory of algebraic curves and quadrature domains is used to construct exact solutions to the problem of the squeeze flow of multiply-connected fluid domains in a Hele-Shaw cell. The solutions are exact in that they can be written down in terms of a finite set of time-evolving parameters. The method is very general and applies to fluid domains of any finite connectivity. By way of example, ...

The role of pelvic floor muscle contraction in the genesis of anal canal pressure is not clear. Recent studies have suggested that vaginal distension increases pelvic floor muscle contraction. We studied the effects of vaginal distension on anal canal pressure in 15 nullipara asymptomatic women. Anal pressure, rest, and squeeze were measured using station pull-through manometry techniques with ...

Using a scintigraphic technique based on an autologous injection of 99mTc-labelled erythrocytes, we have evaluated the efficiency of different exsanguination procedures in the upper limb of ten healthy male volunteers. The methods were elevation alone, the use of the Esmarch bandage or a gauze bandage, the Pomidor roll-cuff, the squeeze method and the Urias bag. The various procedures gave the ...

We consider the dynamics of squeeze-out of a molecularly thin confined two-dimensional ~2D! liquidlike layer. The squeeze-out is described by a generalized 2D Navier–Stokes equation which is solved exactly for the limiting case where the squeeze-out nucleates at the center of the contact area, and where the ~perpendicular! three-dimensional pressure profile is Hertzian. We also present numerica...
