The Mermaid project focuses on the construction of simulation models for MIMD multi-computers in order to evaluate them and to give estimates of the system’s performance. A multi-layered approach was adopted in which three levels can be distinguished. The application level describes application behaviour in an abstract manner, unrelated to any hardware or architecture specifics. Subsequently, t...

Sirenomelia is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of one in 100,000 pregnancies. It is also called as Mermaid Syndrome because of fused leg, giving appearance of mermaid’s tail. The cause of the condition is probably due to abnormalities in gastrulation in caudal segments. It was initially termed caudal regression, but it is clear that structures do not regress, they simply do not form...

Abstract Mobile Earthquake Recorder in Marine Areas by Independent Divers (MERMAID) is a passively drifting oceanic diving float that transmits acoustic pressure records from global earthquakes within hours or days of their rupture. The onboard algorithm used for the detection and identification signals hydrophone prioritizes recovery ∼1 Hz teleseismic P waves, which are useful seismic imaging ...

Introduction Management of mechanical ventilation is complex. Guidelines to aid in managing settings may fail to adapt general goals to the individual patient physiology. The Beacon Caresystem (Mermaid Care, Denmark) is a commercial version of a physiological-model based system for advising on mechanical ventilation (1). Mathematical models are tuned to patient measurements allowing advice to b...

Address for Correspondence: Dr. Parimala Sirikonda, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Bhaskar Medical College, Yenkapally, Moinabad, Telangana, India. E-Mail: [email protected] Sirenomelia also known as mermaid syndrome, characterized by fused lower limbs, is a lethal and rare congenital abnormality. This is an extreme example of caudal regression syndrome caused by vascular steal o...
