INTRODUCTION A sufficient and easily catheterizable continence mechanism is essential in continent cutaneous pouches. Kälble embedded a tapered ileum as efferent segment into a serosal lined tunnel formed by an ileal 'U' according to the principle of Abol-Enein and Ghoneim. We report a modified technique applied in a series of 12 patients who had undergone different urinary diversions. METHOD...

This paper presents a generalized diversion control model for freeway incident management that is capable of concurrently optimizing the detour rates and arterial signal timings over multiple roadway corridor segments between the freeway and its neighboring arterial. To capture various operational complexities due to the interactions between multiple diversions, this study has extended the mode...

UNLABELLED Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is characterized by gait disturbance, dementia and /or urinary incontinence, dilation of the ventricular system and normal opening cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Shunt surgery is the standard treatment of iNHP. Diversions with programmable valves are recommended, once drainage pressure can be changed. However, well-defined protocols stil...

Because avoiding obstacles to goal attainment is a favored means of prevention-focused self-regulation, the authors proposed that resisting tempting diversions from task completion would better fit a prevention focus than a promotion focus, thus affecting task enjoyment and performance. Whether deciphering encrypted messages (Study 1) or solving math problems (Study 2), when exposed to attracti...

This paper introduces the notion of policy as a basis for interaction for decision-support systems, and describes how policy was applied as the foundation of a decision-support tool to aid in diversion management in airline operations. A policy is an abstract, general, a priori statement of expressing a goal and an associated priority. Diversion management is the process of deciding which incom...

Prior to the introduction of the ileal conduit more than four decades ago, the options for urinary diversion after cystectomy were extremely limited. Direct cutaneous anastomoses of the collecting system (cutaneous pyelostomies, ureterostomies) offered patients a short-term diversion, but the benefits were outweighed by significant complications: recession or stenosis of the stoma. The first ch...

Abstract Small-stream irrigation diversions are key elements of many on-farm systems but can act as barriers to aquatic species. Denil fishways have been installed at diversion structures throughout the Big Hole River watershed in Montana provide upstream passage for a population Arctic Grayling Thymallus arcticus. When stream flows low and demand is high, irrigators look ways maintain adequate...
