A general domain decomposition scheme based on the use of complex sources is presented for the electromagnetic analysis of complex antenna and/or scattering problems. The analysis domain is decomposed into separate subdomains whose interactions are described through a network formalism, where the ports are associated with complex point source (CPS) beams radially emerging from the subdomain bou...

The physical process of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) results in derangement of the hemostatic mechanism, which may lead to increased morbidity, secondary to the disease process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hematological status of neonates undergoing ECMO therapy, and to evaluate coagulation tests in predicting hemorrhagic risk. Following Institutional Review Boar...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The search for the perfect suture is going on and has resulted in the introduction of many different suture types into the market. The purpose of this study is to investigate the holding strength (HS) of different sutures in the renal parenchyma in an experimental study on pig kidneys. METHODS The HS that caused sliding of the suture was investigated in 5 adult porci...

Özet. Gömülü sistem uygulamaları genel amaçlı bilgisayarlarda geliştirilen uygulamaların aksine kısıtlı bellek, kısıtlı işlemci gücü ve kısıtlı depolama alanı problemlerine sahip ortamlar için geliştirilmektedir. Ancak geliştirilen uygulamalardan beklenen performans hem işlevsel anlamda hem de kullanıcı etkileşimi açısından genel amaçlı bilgisayarlardan farksız olarak düşünülmelidir. Son yıllar...

This is the supplemental material for the CVPR 2010 paper, “Clustering Dynamic Textures with the Hierarchical EM Algorithm” [1]. It contains the derivation of the HEM-DTM algorithm and the associated E-step computations, including sensitivity analysis for the Kalman smoothing filter. 1 Derivation of HEM for dynamic textures In this section we derive the HEM algorithm for dynamic textures. We be...

Özetçe. E-fatura sisteminin zorunlu hale getirilmesiyle birlikte kullanımı oldukça yaygınlaşmıştır. Bu da beraberinde yazılımsal bir yük ortaya çıkarmaktadır. e-Fatura Schematron kurallarının kontrolü de bu yükün önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada e-Fatura Schematron kurallarının tek bir XSLT dosyasında çalıştırılması ile her bir kuralın farklı XSLT dosyalarında çalıştırılma perfo...

The Health Equity Monitor (HEM) is one component theme of the Global Health Observatory, the main statistics repository of the World Health Organization (WHO). Launched in 2013, HEM is a collaboration between: the WHO Department of Information, Evidence and Research (Geneva, Switzerland); the WHO Gender, Equity and Human Rights Team (Geneva, Switzerland); and the International Center for Equity...

The excess molar enthalpies HEm of the binary systems MF-NdF3 (M = Li, Na, K) were measured in the present work by high temperature calorimetry on a wide temperature (1220 K < T < 1400 K) and composition range. Some points of the equilibrium phase diagram have been also obtained by differential thermal analysis. Using the Hoch-Arpshofen model we represent the excess quantities of different syst...
