Background Resident and faculty views of program strengths and opportunities for improvement (OFIs) offer insight into how stakeholders assess key elements of the learning environment. Objective This study sought (1) to assess the degree to which residents and faculty in 359 programs in 5 surgical specialties (obstetrics and gynecology, orthopaedic surgery, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, and ...

Optical fiber infrasound sensors (OFIS) are long compliant tubes wrapped with two optical fibers that integrate pressure variation along the length of the tubes via laser interferometry at the speed of light. We have previously shown that several OFIS arms can resolve the back azimuth and elevation angle of infrasound signals due to the spectral fingerprint of the instrument response in the rec...

An optical fiber infrasound sensor (OFIS) is a long compliant tube wrapped with two optical fibers that integrate pressure variation along the length of the tube at the speed of light via laser interferometry. Here we only present the initial results of research conducted under this contract due to delays in the construction of the Camp Elliott OFIS array. All the field work has been completed,...

Özet. Yazılım geliştirirken hataların erken fazlarda fark edilmesi, doğacak masrafları en aza indirgemektedir. Bu bağlamda kullanılabilecek süreçlerden biri “Kod Gözden Geçirme”dir. Yazılımcıların kod standartları, kod kalitesi, kod hataları gibi ölçütleri gözeterek birbirlerinin kodlarını değerlendirmesi, kod gözden geçirmedir. Bildiride ayrıntılarıyla bahsedilen projede, bu sürecin pratiğinin...

T lymphocyte activation and increased cytokine levels have been described in retrospective studies of children presenting with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Serial plasma samples obtained in a prospective study of Thai children presenting with <72 h of fever were studied. Plasma levels of 80-kDa soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors (sTNFRs) were higher in children who developed DHF than in...

The detection of infrasound in the presence of wind is challenging. Increasing wind speeds lead to higher noise floors. While the exact nature of the noise is still a subject of investigation, several technologies and array configurations have been developed to maximize the signal to noise ratio and lower the detection threshold. Optical fiber infrasound sensors (OFIS) are long compliant tubes ...

This paper proposes an automatic algorithm for the montage of OCT data sets, which produces a composite 3D OCT image over a large field of view out of several separate, partially overlapping OCT data sets. First the OCT fundus images (OFIs) are registered, using blood vessel ridges as the feature of interest and a two step iterative procedure to minimize the distance between all matching point ...

HIV related opportunistic fungal infections (OFIs) continue to cause morbidity and mortality in HIV infected patients. The objective for this prospective study is to elucidate the prevalence and spectrum of common OFIs in HIV/AIDS patients in north India. Relevant clinical samples were collected from symptomatic HIV positive patients (n = 280) of all age groups and both sexes and subjected to d...
