In this paper, we propose a new relational schema (R-schema) to XML Schema translation algorithm that analyzes the cardinality between data values and patterns of user queries to resolve the implicit referential integrity issue. Many translation methods have been developed taking into account structural and/or semantic aspects. However, earlier methods have considered only the explicit referent...

BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the effectiveness of semi-rigid ureteroscopy and holmium laser lithotripsy in the treatment of impacted ureteral stones in children. MATERIAL/METHODS We evaluated a total of 32 children under the age of 18 years treated with ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy for impacted ureteral stones between January 2005 and July 2013. Their stone-free state was defined ...

Liquefaction is a disaster that can damage building infrastructure. This all too common in granular sandy soils. due to the subsidence and instability of soil when subjected shocks such as earthquakes. For this reason, mitigation efforts are needed reduce risk liquefaction. study will compare effectiveness influence micro-pile, stone column, densification methods on soils at Central Java PLTU s...

A 36-year old man presents to the emergency room five days after undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for a symptomatic 11mm left renal pelvis stone. The patient has persistent symptoms of severe left flank pain at presentation. Plain abdominal radiography is obtained and shows a steinstrasse pattern of urolithiasis. In the 1980s, the German developers of ESWL observed that s...

A falling rigid body through air, water, and sediment is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Two experiments were conducted to drop rigid cylinders with density ratio around 1.8 into shallow water (around 13 m deep) in the Monterey Bay (Exp-1) and into the Naval Postgraduate School’s swimming pool (Exp-2). During the experiments, we carefully observe cylinder track and burial depth w...
