BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate periosteal vessels location as intra-operative landmarks in distal femoral osteotomies and focused on the branching pattern of the vascular supply of the medial and lateral femoral condyle, its constancy, and the relationship to the height of distal femoral osteotomies. Anastomoses of relevant vessels were studied to analyze the risk of va...

(CSE@UTA) was designed to give three sponsored undergraduate students theoretical knowledge, exposure to advanced programming tools, and participation with applied research in parallel and distributed processing. This was achieved through classroom instruction, hands-on application development, introduction to the state-of-the-art PARSA TM Software Development Environment and the ThreadMan TM T...

Phagocytosis is important during development and in the immune response for the removal of apoptotic cells and pathogens, yet its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the CED2/5/10/12 pathway regulates actin during phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, whereas the role of the CED1/6/7 pathway in phagocytosis is unclear. We report that Undertaker (UTA), a Drosophila ...

In this study we tried to replicate the unconscious thought advantage (UTA), which states that complex decisions are better handled by unconscious thinking. We designed an experiment in e-prime using similar material as the original study (choosing between four different apartments, each described by 12 attributes). A total of 73 participants (52 women (71.2%); 18 to 62 age: M=24.63; SD=8.7) to...

OBJECTIVE To develop a predictive model for pre-eclampsia using clinical, biochemical and ultrasound markers during the first trimester of pregnancy. METHODS This was a nested case-control study within a pre-eclampsia screening project that involved 5367 asymptomatic pregnant women undergoing routine transvaginal uterine artery (UtA) Doppler at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks. Following exclusions, th...

This article explores Rosanna Raymond’s performative intervention titled “Soli I Tai—Soli Uta” (Tread on the Sea—Tread Land). Today, many cultural institutions try to develop progressive strategies facilitate “intercultural dialogue.” In this endeavor, are explored, some of which developed in collaboration with experts from so-called “source communities.” Such collaborations have longer histori...

Abstract Spectroscopic studies of emissions released from tungsten ions combined with a pellet injection technique have been conducted in the Large Helical Device. The Unresolved Transition Array (UTA) spectrum was observed wavelength ranges extreme ultraviolet (EUV) 6–60 Å and 130–340 Å, electron temperature dependence UTA spectral shape investigated region < 4.3 keV. UTAs W 24+ –W 33+ at 2...

Additive utility function models are widely used in multiple criteria decision analysis. In such models, a numerical value is associated to each alternative involved in the decision problem. It is computed by aggregating the scores of the alternative on the different criteria of the decision problem. The score of an alternative is determined by a marginal value function that evolves monotonical...
