SUMMARY: A rare case of trans-radial styloid, trans-scaphoid. trans-triquetral perilunate dislocation is described. The injury was treated by reduction and internal fixation using a Herbert screw and Kirschner wire. A good functional result was achieved. A review of the literature illustrates that early surgery is recommended. Alternative su rgical approaches are discussed. Case Report A twenty...

Since the introduction by Shepp and Vardi [Shepp, L. A. & Vardi, Y. (1982) IEEE Trans. Med. Imaging 1, 113-121] of the expectation-maximization algorithm for the generation of maximum-likelihood images in emission tomography, a number of investigators have applied the maximum-likelihood method to imaging problems. Though this approach is promising, it is now well known that the unconstrained ma...

References We investigate the use of nanoelectronic structures in cellular nonlinear network (CNN) architectures, for future high-density and low-power CMOS-nanodevice hybrid circuits. We present simulation results for Single Electron Tunneling (SET) transistors configured as a voltage-to-current transducer for CNN cells. We also present an example of quantum-dot cellular arrays which may be us...

Predicting a hand’s position using only biosignals is a complex problem that has not been completely solved. The only reliable solution currently available requires invasive surgery. The attempts using non-invasive technologies are rare, and usually have led to lower correlation values (CVs) between the real and the reconstructed position than those required for real-world applications. In this...

Solvothermal reactions of trans-stilbene-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)STDC) and zinc(ii) acetate in the presence of systematically varied terminal ligands afforded a series of supramolecular architectures with formula [Zn(STDC)(py)(2)].py (1), [Zn(STDC)(bipy)(H(2)O)].0.5py.H(2)O (2), [Zn(STDC)(biql)] (3), [Zn(STDC)(phen)].solv (solv = DMSO, 4a; DMF, 4b), where py = pyridine, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridi...

a novel low noise trans-impedance amplifier is proposed using low cost 0.18 µm cmos technology. a resistive-capacitive feedback is used to extend the bandwidth of the amplifier. as the structure is inductor less, it is suitable for low cost integrated optical interconnects. in this paper improved particle swarm optimization have applied to determine optimal trans-resistance and noise of propose...

background: drinking a high amount of tea, cooking methods, dietary habits and different spices used during the cooking process could be associated with different chronic diseases such as overweight and hypertension. this study was conducted with regards to the prevention importance of these disorders from an early age. methods: a representative sample of 110 young females aged between 18 and 2...
