These notes present basic principles of partial evaluation us ing the simple imperative language FCL a language of owcharts intro duced by Jones and Gomard Topics include online partial evaluators o ine partial evaluators and binding time analysis The goal of the lec tures is to give a rigorous presentation of the semantics of partial eval uation systems while also providing details of actual i...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional and clinical outcomes of a consecutive series of patients who underwent fibular collateral ligament (FCL) and posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction by use of a single Achilles tendon allograft construct. METHODS Patients were identified through prospective sports medicine databases at 2 academic institutions. Only patien...

Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Familial Chilblain Lupus (FCL) and Retinal Vasculopathy and Cerebral Leukodystrophy (RVCL) {a new term encompassing three independently described conditions with a common etiology--Cerebroretinal Vasculopathy (CRV), Hereditary Vascular Retinopathy (HVR) and Hereditary Endotheliopathy, Retinopathy and Nephropathy (HERNS)}--hav...

A novel fractal called Fractal Clover Leaf (FCL) is introduced and shown to have well miniaturization capabilities. The proposed patches are fed by L-shape probe to achieve wide bandwidth operation in PCS band. A numerical parametric study on the proposed antenna is presented. It is found that the antenna can attain more than 72% size reduction as well as 17% impedance bandwidth (VSWR<2), in co...

To quantify the mechanical contribution of posterior ligamentous structures to the stability of thoracolumbar compression fractures.Twelve fresh human T11-L3 spinal specimens were harvested in this study. The 1/3 L1 vertebral body was resected in a wedged shape. After the preinjury had been created, the specimens were subjected to flexion-compression to create a fracture model. Resection of the...

The classical Fourier transform Fcl is an isomorphism of the Schwartz space S(Rk) onto itself. The space C∞ c (Rk) of smooth functions with compact support is dense in S(Rk), and the classical Paley-Wiener theorem characterises the image of C∞ c (R k) under Fcl as rapidly decreasing functions having an holomorphic extension to Ck of exponential type. Since Rk is self-dual, the same theorem also...

A new methodology was developed for obtaining daily retrievals of the direct radiative forcing of aerosols (24h-DARF) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) using satellite remote sensing. Simultaneous CERES (Clouds and Earth’s Radiant Energy System) shortwave flux at the top of the atmosphere and MODIS (Moderate Resolution Spectroradiometer) aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals were used. To ana...
