Cell death accompanies the formation of free digits in birds and mammals. However, in species with webbing between the adult digits, little or no cell death occurs in the prospectively webbed region of the developing interdigit. Cell death does not occur during the formation of free digits in amphibians. In this paper we report that cell death accompanies the formation of the digits in snapping...

We report a case of a 20-year-old patient who sustained a mutilating crush injury to the left hand. After thorough debridement and stabilization of the skeletal injury, a radial forearm fascial free flap was used to resurface the distal soft tissue volar defect of two adjacent digits. This thin fascial flap allows for stable soft tissue coverage and provides a gliding surface for the exposed te...

A recently introduced double-base number representation has proved to be successful in improving the performance of several algorithms in cryptography and digital signal processing. The index-calculus version of this number system can be regarded as a two-dimensional extension of the classical logarithmic number system. This paper builds on previous special results by generalizing the number sy...

This paper presents a novel number system based on signed continuous valued digits. Arithmetic operations in this number system are performed using simple analog circuitry, in contrast to the conventional implementation of arithmetic units by Boolean or multiple-valued logic circuits. Unlike the limited precision offered by classical analog arithmetic circuits, the ensemble of continuous valued...

This paper presents a new unsupervised learning approach with stacked autoencoder (SAE) for Arabic handwritten digits categorization. Recently, Arabic handwritten digits recognition has been an important area due to its applications in several fields. This work is focusing on the recognition part of handwritten Arabic digits recognition that face several challenges, including the unlimited vari...

The SNARC effect is the finding that left-hand responses are faster to small digits and right-hand responses are faster to large digits. I tested an episodic-retrieval account of the SNARC effect in which it is assumed that the response time varies as a function of the prior trial episodes available in working memory. Blocks of trials were constructed in which two digits were repeated 75% of th...

We investigate techniques to combine multiple representations of a handwritten digit to increase classification accuracy without significantly increasing system complexity or recognition time. In pen-based recognition, the input is the dynamic movement of the pentip over the pressure sensitive tablet. There is also the image formed as a result of this movement. On a real-world database of handw...

Speech recognition is the process of converting speech signals into words. For acoustic modeling HMM-GMM is used for many years. For GMM, it requires assumptions near the data distribution for calculating probabilities. For removing this limitation, GMM is replaced by DNN in acoustic model. Deep neural networks are the feed forward neural networks having more than one or multiple layers of hidd...

Macrodactyly is a rare family of congenital disorders characterized by the diffuse enlargement of 1 or more digits. Multiple tissue types within the affected digits are involved, but skeletal patterning and gross morphological features are preserved. Not all tissues are equally involved and there is marked heterogeneity with respect to clinical phenotype. The molecular mechanisms responsible fo...

Paediatric bilateral multiple trigger fingers are extremely rare. The underlying etiopathogenesis and hence the surgical principles of management of trigger finger in children are different from those of pediatric trigger thumb and adult trigger finger. In this paper, we report the case of a 5 year old girl with congenital trigger digits involving the middle, ring and little fingers of both han...
