Although the general observation that the longer the duration of the vegetative state, the lower the probability of emerging from it remains true, reports of late improvement are ever more common in the literature. The aim of this study was to verify evolution from Vegetative State in a group of inpatients in a Neurorehabilitation facility and to identify the parameters increasing the likelihoo...

OBJECTIVE The number of patients in prolonged postanoxic vegetative state (VS) is increasing. However, little information is available about prognostic markers of long-term outcome in patients who remain in VS more than 1 month postonset. The present 2-year prospective clinical study aimed to identify prognostic markers, recorded in the chronic phase, that might be useful for predicting recover...

The Eternal system provides transparent fault tolerance for CORBA applications, without requiring the modification of either the application or the ORB. Eternal replicates the application objects, and ensures strong replica consistency by employing reliable totally-ordered multicast messages for conveying the IIOP messages of the application. To maintain replica consistency even as replicas fai...

Blind Source Recovery (BSR) denotes recovery of original sources/signals from environments that may include convolution, temporal variation, and even nonlinearity. It also infers the recovery of sources even in the absence of precise environment identifiability. This paper describes, in a comprehensive fashion, a generalized BSR formulation achieved by the application of stochastic optimization...

We consider an architecture for ultra-dependable operation based on synchronized state machine replica-tion, extended to provide transient recovery and recon-guration in the presence of arbitrary faults. The architecture allows processors suspected of being faulty to be placed on \probation." Processors in this status cannot disrupt other processors, but those that are nonfaulty or recovering f...

OBJECTIVE Mismatch negativity (MMN) is an automatic event related brain response, well investigated in the acute phase after severe brain injury: the presence of a MMN is often found to predict the emergence from coma, and the exclusion of shifting into a vegetative state (VS). In the present study MMN was examined during recovery from VS. METHODS Ten vegetative patients were repeatedly exami...

In a distributed system using rollback recovery, information saved on stable storage during failure-free execution allows certain states of each process to be restored after a failure. For example, in a system of deterministic processes using message logging and checkpointing, a process state can be restored only if all messages received by the process since its previous checkpoint have been lo...

Two issues will be examined in this study: whether the optimization of recovering state losses corruption cases can carried out with mutual legal assistance model and obstacles to optimizing recovery model. The study aims obtain complete information about which using model, shows that efforts recover various ways, one is (MLA) MLA plays an essential role assets obtained from crimes, especially ...

The vegetative state (VS) is a devastating clinical condition characterised by wakefulness without awareness. Functional neuroimaging permits to objectively measure brain responsiveness to external stimuli in VS. The literature on functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography studies in these patients has been reviewed. Results from 15 studies were classified in: absent...

We describe a state recovery attack on the X-FCSR-256 stream cipher of total complexity at most 2. This complexity is achievable by requiring 2 output blocks with an amortized calculation e ort of at most 2 table lookups per output block using no more than 2 table entries of precomputational storage.
