this report is on a migration of a steinman pin into the posterior com department of the calf. it was used to fix a greater trochanteric osteotomy in a total hip arthroplasty. the puzzling note is how this metal piece passed through the anterolateral compartment of the thigh to the posterior compartment of the calf. accord ing to our literature review, migration of fixation pins through the kne...

In this paper, a novel method of authentication based on user-performed identification of known and unknown faces is described. The target group of the method is the elderly users for which the use of traditional techniques, such as passwords, personal identification numbers (PIN), or biometrics is not without problems. The performance of this method and authentication by PIN has been compared ...

this survey is carried out with the aim of investigating iran’s export potentials of agricultural products to member countries of the organization of islamic conference (oic) through use of such appropriate methods as: rca, hs and cosine index. the dates are computed be means of hs data codes in the range of 010000-240000 during 2002-2006. the islamic countries are divided into 3 groups as base...

Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are commonly used as an authentication mechanism. An important security requirement is that PINs should be hard to guess for an attacker. On the other hand, remembering several random PINs can be difficult task for an individual. We evaluate several dictionary-based methods of choosing a PIN. We experimentally show that these methods are far from ideal wit...

Input/Output is the mechanism through which Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) interact with and control the outside world. Particularly when employed in critical infrastructures, the I/O of PLCs has to be both reliable and secure. PLCs I/O like other embedded devices are controlled by a pin based approach. In this paper, we investigate the security implications of the PLC pin control system...

Curcumin, the medically active component from Curcuma longa (Turmeric), is widely used to treat inflammatory diseases. Protein interaction network (PIN) analysis was used to predict its mechanisms of molecular action. Targets of curcumin were obtained based on ChEMBL and STITCH databases. Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) were extracted from the String database. The PIN of curcumin was constr...

PURPOSE The purpose of our study was to determine the long-term functional outcomes of pin tract infection after percutaneous pinning of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children, and to evaluate the potential for intracapsular pin placement based on pin configuration in cadaveric elbows. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of all patients requiring percutaneous pinning in...

The Test Vector Concept A test system based on vectors has several defining characteristics: • There is a “vector sequencer” that defines which “vector” will be obeyed next. • The vector sequencer broadcasts a small amount of information (such as vector address, period numbers and timeset numbers) to all of the pin channels. • The pin channels access a small pin command, usually of between 1 an...

The number, shape and sizes of intermuscular bones have been studied in table size (around 1200g). rohu, catla and mrigal after microwave cooking and dissection. Carp intermuscular bones have varied shape and size. These bones are of two types, Y pin bones and straight pin bones. Total number of pin bones are highest in mrigal (110 nos.) followed by catla (108 nos.) and rohu (104 nos.). Y pin b...
