N4016 makes a case for adding execution modes for threads of execution that are less capable than std::thread; doing so either allows for avoiding runtime overheads of std::thread or enables semantically different ways to execute such as SIMD loops. This paper defines the semantics of these lighter-weight modes of execution by defining certain kinds of execution agents (EAs). An EA is a mechani...

There is a need for a quick, simple, repeatable, but quantifiable assessment of fracture healing end-point that does not rely on the use of x-rays or on un-measured manipulation. This paper presents an argument to support a “maximum of one degree of bending” criterion. We propose that a mid-shaft tibial facture may be considered healed when it is not possible to bend the fracture by more than 1...

Threads as considered in thread algebra model behaviours to be controlled by some execution environment: upon each action performed by a thread, a reply from its execution environment – which takes the action as an instruction to be processed – determines how the thread proceeds. In this paper, we are concerned with the case where the execution environment is remote: we describe and analyse som...

abstractthe liquid crystal director distribution is determined for a confined chiral nematic slab. the molecular director distribution of the field-controlled chiral nematic slab is directly calculated. the director profiles for the tilt and the twist angles, under different applied fields, are calculated in the slab with weak boundary conditions. then, the dependence of the threshold field on ...

Adding fibers to a liquid thread increases the viscosity, hence slows early stretching of thread, but it also alters later breakup dynamics and induces considerable variability in necking shapes.

Purpose: The aims of the present study are to correlate the ISQ values, registered by the Osstell ISQ system, with the insertion torque during the placement of the implant, and to assess the influence of the thread initiator on the ISQ values and on the insertion torque. Materials and methods: 140 rough surface implants screw-shaped implants, placed in 10 bovine ribs, were assigned to Group A (...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the initial stability of dual-thread miniscrews by analyzing the strain at the bone-implant interface and insertion torque during implantation in artificial bone models with different cortical bone thicknesses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Insertion torque, and strain, measured with a five-element strain gauge in 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0-mm artificial cortical bone, during insertion ...

introduction: multileaf collimator (mlc) is state of the art among the radiation field shaping systems for conformal radiotherapy techniques. some advantages of this system are as follow: reduction of treatment time, higher precision in conforming the radiation field to the projection of the target volume and lowering the chance of errors made by technologists. the purpose of this research was ...
