BACKGROUND Surgeons have long debated the relative merits of vertical and inverted-T mammaplasties. These debates have centered on surgeons' opinions. Without measurements, this controversy is unlikely to be resolved. This study compares these common techniques using a recently published measurement system. Such a study using measurements on photographs matched for size and orientation has not ...

A performance-based seismic design (PBSD) method is aimed at controlling the structural damage based on precise estimations of proper response parameters. PBSD method evaluates the performance of a building frame for any seismic hazard, the building may experience. Use of this method for vertical irregular building is verified with comparison of conventional method. Vertical irregular frame is ...

This paper explores the integration of inertial sensor data with vision. A method is proposed for vertical world feature detection and map building. Visual and inertial sensing are two sensory modalities that can be explored to give robust solutions on image segmentation and recovering of 3D structure from images. This enlarges the application potential of vision systems. From the inertial sens...

P-type and N-type multi-gate vertical thin film transistors (vertical TFTs) have been fabricated, adopting the low-temperature (T ≤ 600°C) polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) technology. Stacked heavily-doped polysilicon source and drain are electrically isolated by an insulating barrier. Multi-teeth configuration is defined by reactive ion etching leading to sidewalls formation on which undo...

We present a novel analytical method for assessing spatial and temporal structure in community samples that is useful for comparing large data-sets that include species abundance data. The model assumes that species numbers in two samples are drawn from a bi-variate Poisson log-normal species abundance distribution and parameters from the fitted distribution are estimated to assess community st...
