Artificial methods of infant feeding, ranging from pap bowls, feeding horns, cups with lips, and spouts and bottles have existed since prehistoric times.' Though many of these feeding vessels have now completely disappeared, the bottle and teat have so dominated western thinking in recent years that the use of other artificial methods of infant feeding has been largely overlooked. During four y...

This is the note for my talk in Graduate Student Seminar NEU. W. Massey defined Massey product as a higher order cohomology operation, which is a generalization of cup product. A first application of Massey product is in Knot theory showing that Borromean rings are linked with zero linking numbers. As another application, people can use Massey product describe the differentials in spectral sequ...

License plate detection from images is an important step in vehicle license plate recognition for automated transport system. Dark images and complex background make license plate detection problems challenging. In this paper, a novel method of based on rectangle window was proposed to resolve license plate detection problems. The proposed method firstly enhances images using traditional method...

conclusions: using n-butanolic c. coum extract in combination with ciprofloxacin offers a novel strategy to control biofilm-based infections caused by p. aeruginosa. results: the ability of biofilm formation by p. aeruginosa strains was quantitatively confirmed. the pcr method confirmed the existence of cup a gene (172 bp) in all studied strains. saponin content of the n-butanolic c. coum extra...

Objective: Cancer for Unknown Primary is cancer with unidentified metastases, and it is believed that CUP diagnosis affects survival in two different pathways; CUP may innately differ from other cancers with identified primaries, so the diagnosis itself can influence how long a person can survive. Another way is that CUP diagnosis affects how much people receive treatment, and the treatment, th...

BACKGROUND Although surgical navigation reduces the rate of malpositioned acetabular cups in total hip arthroplasty (THA), its use has not been widely adopted. As a result of our perceived need for simple and efficient methods of navigation, we developed a mechanical navigation device for acetabular cup orientation. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We assessed accuracy of cup orientation (mean error of cup...

Teaching cognitive subject matter via distance learning often suffers from different aspects, such as providing passive content or missing motivational elements. Therefore, this paper deals with the extension of an online course on theoretical topics by game-based elements and proposes a distance learning method called “Quiz World Cup”. After highlighting problematic aspects of teaching cogniti...
