Shrink forming prosthetic sockets from memory plastics offers several advantages over existing techniques. The manual skill requirement is reduced relative to drapeforming flat sheet while compared with the Rapidform process, the requirement for a purpose built vacuum forming machine is eliminated. Two methods for producing thermoplastic sockets from heat shrinkable preforms are described. One ...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry (InSAR), using data from the European Space Agency satellites ERS1 and ERS2, is being used to image, survey and map surface movement of the London region. Local and regional movement due to shrink and swell of the London Clay geology, tunnelling, and possibly ground water abstraction has been investigated here for the first time by InSAR. Cyclic ann...

The requirements of specific applications and services are often over estimated when ontologies are reused or built. This sometimes results in many ontologies being too large for their intended purposes. It is not uncommon that when applications and services are deployed over an ontology, only a few parts of the ontology are queried and used. Identifying which parts of an ontology are being use...

A new method, based on the normal shrink and modified version of Katssagelous and Lay, is proposed for multiscale blind image restoration. The method deals with the noise and blur in the images. It is shown that the normal shrink gives the highest S/N (signal to noise ratio) for image denoising process. The multiscale blind image restoration is divided in two sections. The first part of this pa...

Parallel prefix networks are used in priority encoders, and to compute carries in fast adders. A typical microprocessor contains many such networks, and often they are hotspots. Although parallel prefix (or scan) has been much studied, surprisingly many questions remain unanswered. As geometries shrink, it is not at all clear how to make low power prefix networks with the desired timing propert...

In all schools are found children who do not "fit in" with the regular work. They are unresponsive; cannot work in groups; are irritable or over-sensitive; will not play, rather brood in corners; are hostile to society. Sometimes they show a tendency to damaga things or torment animals or their companions. They are individualistic. Every command must be given separately to them. They will not l...
