JOBERT DE LAMBALLE (1843) advocated and practised treatment of the eroded cervix by cauterisation using a glowing iron; he noted that the procedure was painless. Later, Brandes (1846) in Germany popularized the method, using a wooden or ivory speculum to avoid burning the vaginal epithelium and followed the cauterisation by a douche of cold water. In more recent years various methods of chemica...

A tower is a sequence of simplicial complexes connected by simplicial maps. We show how to compute a filtration, a sequence of nested simplicial complexes, with the same persistent barcode as the tower. Our approach is based on the coning strategy by Dey et al. (SoCG 2014). We show that a variant of this approach yields a filtration that is asymptotically only marginally larger than the tower a...

In this paper, we offer an overview of a number results on the static rigidity and infinitesimal discrete structures which are embedded in projective geometric reasoning, representations, transformations. Part I considers fundamental case bar–joint framework d-space places particular emphasis invariance rigidity, coning between dimensions, transfer to spherical metric, slide joints pure conditi...

This paper discusses many aspects of the application horizontal wells for field development, starting with basic question why to opt this technology. The different considerations be taken into account when dealing technology are reviewed, including some inherent downsides like higher cost and operational complications. main emphasis, however, is placed on practical reservoir engineering aspects...

Time-equispaced inertial measurements are practically used as inputs for motion determination. Polynomial interpolation is a common technique of recovering the gyroscope signal but subject to fundamentally numerical stability problem due Runge effect on equispaced samples. This paper reviews theoretical results phenomenon in related areas and proposes straightforward borrowing-and-cutting (BAC)...
