Objective: While surgical treatment is the most accepted method for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children, there little data about immobilization after surgery. The aim of study to determine whether any difference preventing loss reduction between long-arm cast and splint following pediatric fracture Patients Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis patients with treated o...

Abstract: Some people automatically and involuntarily ”see” mental images of numbers in spatial arrays when they think of numbers. This phenomenon, called number forms, shares three key characteristics with the other types of synaesthesiae, within-individual consistency, between-individual variety, and mixture of regularity and randomness. An experiment was conducted to investigate whether ment...

Over the years a number of powerful people detectors have been proposed. While it is standard to test complete detectors on publicly available datasets, it is often unclear how the di erent components (e.g. features and classi ers) of the respective detectors compare. Therefore, this paper contributes a systematic comparison of the most prominent and successful people detectors. Based on this e...

In this paper we give a new approach to the concepts of glyph and character, applied to the study of the Unicode encoding. After a thorough discussion of these two concepts, we describe the other fundamental ingredients of the encoding: privileged glyphs, character descriptions, combining characters, and properties. In each case we try to show the importance of the given notion and at the same ...

Losses from the proton and antiproton beams of the Fermilab Tevatron have been shown to produce a halo which contribute to backgrounds to physics signals in the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). To provide a measure of the beam halo and losses, we have installed arrays of scintillation counters on both sides of the CDF detector. We describe here the physical configuration of these counters, ...

In previous work, we presented a tiered architecture that includes a middle layer for communication and exchange of learning objects between Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Learning Object Repositories (LOR). In order to take into account more dynamic characteristics, we present here a model driven approach for managing the learning object usage, based on the Common Information Model. Thi...

Localitatea este comportamentul sau auto-organizarea structurală a unei colectivităţi in jurul unei origini. Globalitatea este comportarea sau autoorganizarea structurală a unei colectivităţi în jurul unei proprietăţi. Colectivitaţile interconectate sunt modelele noastre pentru comportări estetice. Am inceput să modelam comportarea estetică (recepţia) introducând localitatea estetică. Am exersa...

Let M be a simply connected complex submanifold of C . We prove that M is irreducible, up a totally geodesic factor, if and only if the normal holonomy group acts irreducibly. This is an extrinsic analogue of the well-known De Rham decomposition theorem for a complex manifold. Our result is not valid in the real context, as it is shown by many counter-examples.
