Harness is a reconÞgurable, heterogeneous distributed metacomputing framework for the dynamic conÞguration of distributed virtual machines, through the use of parallel ”plug-in” software components. A parallel plug-in is a software module that exists as a synchronized collection of traditional plug-ins distributed across a parallel set of resources. As a follow-on to PVM, the Harness kernel pro...

Bile-plug syndrome is defined as an obstruction of the common bile duct by bile sludge in full-term infants. It is a correctable cause of obstructive jaundice in infants and is generally treated surgically. Here, we present a case of a 5-month-old infant with bile-plug syndrome, which was treated by percutaneous biliary interventions. To the best of our knowledge, percutaneous treatment of bile...

Plug-in architectures and platforms represent a promising approach for building software systems which are extensible and customizable to the particular needs of the individual user. For example, the Eclipse platform, as the most prominent representative of plug-in systems, is based on a unique plug-in and extensibility concept and has succeeded in establishing itself as the leading platform fo...

We have built an agent service-based enterprise infrastructure: FTRADE. With its online connectivity to huge real stock data in global markets, it can be used for online evaluation of trading strategies and data mining algorithms. The main functions in the F-TRADE include soft plug-and-play, and back-testing, optimization, integration and evaluation of algorithms. In this paper, we’ll focus on ...

Purpose. To describe a surgical technique using amniotic membrane transplant (AMT) with fibrin glue (FG) for treating smaller corneal perforations more practically and appropriately filling the defect. Method. A patient with noninfectious central corneal perforation, in 1 mm in diameter, was treated with FG-assisted AMT-plug. An AMT was folded in on itself twice by using FG then a small piece o...

Dobri, Churhar, an aged punkah coolie, complained of epistazis on the 19th October 1879. He waa given iced water to use, tannic acid as a snuff, Tincture Ferri Perchlor. was given internally ; elevation of the aims and cold to the spine and^ rest 111 a horizontal position were all tried without avail. On the 21st, as he was very weak, I determined to pass a Belloc s sound and to plug the poster...

The capillary electromigration method is an important analytical technique known for its simplicity, sensitivity, and selectivity. We have investigated electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA) in plug-plug and continuous formats for the determination of phenolic compounds. The azocoupling reactions of phenol, 3-aminophenol, and resorcinol with 4nitrophenyldiazonium fluoroborate were ca...

The meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has been reported to be an effective treatment in terms of pain relief and functional improvement in symptomatic meniscus-deficient knee. The medial MAT is usually performed with the bone plug technique or soft tissue fixation for root fixation. We describe medial MAT with modified bone plug technique that permits easy passage of posterior bone plugs...
