a pseudo aneurysm results from leakage of blood from an artery after trauma or dehiscence or separation of a surgical anastomosis. the reported rate of pseudo aneurysm in access sites range from 0.88% to 8%. it has some cause like penetrating trauma, blunt trauma and endovascular procedure. the differential diagnoses of this lesion are hematoma, av fistula, lymphadenopathy, lymphocele, dvt, com...

Introduction: The lenticular process of the incus succumbs to necrosis in chronic otitis media. Few researchers have addressed the issue of autograft incus preservation in the soft tissue of the tragus or mastoid cavity. Nonetheless, preservation of the incus in this method during the second stage of ossiculoplasty is a subject that is still up for debate. This study was carried out to demonstr...

Soft-tissue metastasis refers to the growth of cancer cells, originating from internal cancer, in soft tissues. In most cases, soft-tissue metastases develop after initial diagnosis of the primary internal malignancy and late in the course of the disease. In very rare cases, they may occur at the same time or before the primary cancer has been detected. In our cases, the soft-tissue metastases ...

Partitioning a digital circuit into modules before implementing on a single chip is key to balancing between test cost and test correctness of built-in current testing (BICT). Most partitioning methods use statistic analysis to find the threshold value and then to determine the size of a module. These methods are rigid and inflexible since IDDQ testing requires the measurement of an analog quan...

Over the last few years more complex and flexible techniques have been needed to develop hard real-time systems. The agent paradigm seems to be an appropriate approach to be applied in this area. ARTIS is an agent architecture suitable for hard real-time agents. This paper is focused on an extension of the control module of ARTIS agents that provides a soft real-time control architecture inside...

The active learning method (ALM), proposed as a methodology of soft computing, simulates human learning and inferencing processes on the basis of fuzzy concepts. This paper presents a hardware implementation of ALM. ALM has processing engines called IDS, which are tasked with extracting useful information from a system subject to modeling. In realizing ALM in hardware, it will be desirable in t...

The control plane has emerged as the key entity of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) Automatic Switched Optical Network (ASON) architecture, enabling both soft-permanent and switched connection establishment. The fundamental control plane functional module is the Optical Connection Controller (OCC) which in turn, is divided in four sub-modules. The Link Resource Manager (LRM) i...
