conclusions although external fixation in open pediatric fractures and severe injuries is recommended, intramedullary nailing is also an effective method with low complications. combining pins and flexible intramedullary nails is effective in developing more stability and is not associated with more complications. background tibial fractures are the third most common pediatric long-bone fractur...

Future distribution network markets will need to be flexible enough to enable the participation of small-scale customers with distributed energy resources. We propose using a receding horizon market that can manage the state-dependent decisions and large uncertainties of these participants. Unfortunately, this added flexibility creates new opportunities for agents to manipulate the actions of o...

Recently, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) has become widely used as a common execution platform for various applications. There is often the need to manipulate bytecodes at class-load time, particularly in application domains that demand dynamic modification of program behaviors. Whereas several bytecode manipulation tools for Java exist for implementing such behaviors, JVM is also the platform ...

we sought to understand  whether,  how, and  why the translated journalistic texts  related  to  the  iranian  nuclear  negotiations  were manipulated. to this end,  we  monitored  a news agency’s webpage in a time span of 46 days that began 3 days before almaty i nuclear talks and ended  3  days  after  almaty  ii  talks.  monitoring  resulted  in  a  corpus  made  up  of  36  target  texts  p...

the most modern techniques in biotechnology owe their existence to the discovery of dna cloning and the genetic manipulation of organisms. however biotechnology is not new science in fact, many applications represent old practices with new methodologies. human have been used organisms for their benefit in many processes for several thousand years. therefore, one way of thinking about biotechnol...

An optical trapping system with a single-mode lensed fiber probe inserted at an angle is built; this system is simpler and more flexible than conventional optical tweezers. Two lasers, with 632.8- and 1550-nm wavelengths, are employed to trap and manipulate yeast cells and polystyrene microspheres. Nine yeast cells are manipulated to form a letter "T." Finally, the manipulation performed with v...
