BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Age might differentially affect outcomes in patients treated for unruptured cerebral aneurysms with surgical clipping versus endovascular coil therapy. We evaluated a large administrative database to determine the effect of age on outcomes in patients treated for unruptured cerebral aneurysm. METHODS Using the National Inpatient Sample, we evaluated morbidity (discharge...

Clipping a triangle or a convex quadrilateral to a plane is a common operation in computer graphics. This clipping is implemented by fixed-function units within the graphics pipeline under most rasterization APIs. It is increasingly interesting to perform clipping in programmable stages as well. For example, to clip bounding volumes generated in the Geometry unit to the near plane, or to clip a...

Anti-forensics on audio is aimed at complicating investigations forensics, sound recordings. Sound recordings can be altered or manipulated in various ways as well the provision of distortion effects Effect such distortions will make it difficult for investigators to find out owner original voice. Analysis anti-forensic activities, has not been widely carried out. Distortion an effective techni...

An experiment was carried out to know the effect of shoot clipping on floral morphology and seed yield in two Indigofera spp. viz. I. tinctoria L. and I. suffruticosa Mill. All parts of shoot including the main stem were clipped at 60 cm height from the base at 120 days after sowing (DAS). At 120 DAS, I. tinctoria already exhibited 1 flowering while I. suffruticosa showed no flowering. Shoot cl...

Today, in the rangeland management science and determination of rangecapacity, accurate and true information about range production is crucial. In fact, rangeproduction is considered as a basis for range management. The aim of this study was tocompare different methods for the estimation of forage production with four samplingmethods in the rangelands of Kurdistan province, Iran. The sampling m...

OBJECTIVE This study proposes more objective methods for deciding the appropriate direction of the sylvian fissure dissection during surgical clipping in middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysms. METHODS We reviewed data of 36 consecutive patients with MCA bifurcation aneurysms. We measured 2 indices preoperatively on 3-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA). Analysis ...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplex/offset QAM (OFDM/OQAM) has been proven to be a promising multi-carrier modulation (MCM) technique for the transmission of signals over multipath fading channels. However, OFDM/OQAM has also the intrinsic disadvantage of high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) that should be alleviated. This paper focuses on the reduction of the clipping noise and out-of b...

OFDM Signal combines the multiple symbol representations method with a signal clipping method using a new hybrid PAPR reduction technique. The amplitude of the signal is limited to the threshold value using clipping method which considering the signal must be interpolated before A/D conversion and also different filtering technique has been proposed. The clipping technique has the subcarriers h...

This report presents two cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by rupture of paraclinoid aneurysms. Both aneurysms presented a bilobulated appearance upon image study. Both cases were treated successfully, the first with surgical clipping and the second with endovascular coiling. The special bilobulated feature of paraclinoid aneurysm in this particular anatomic location suggests its close re...
