background breast augmentation is the most frequent procedure performed according to the 2009 quick facts report of the american society of plastic surgeons. this study presents the periareolar extra-glandular breast augmentation. methods from 2004 to 2010 among 32 female patients, peri-areolar incision was performed for breast augmentation. dissection was performed in subcutaneous plane toward...

introduction here we report an unusual case of massive stone formation in augmented urinary bladder. case presentation a 25-year-old man presented with recurrent urinary tract infection ten years after augmentation cystoplasty after a complex pelvic fracture urethral distraction defect. on evaluation by ultrasonography, x-ray, and computed tomography of abdomen showed large burden of stones in ...

Handwritten character recognition has been the center of research and a benchmark problem in the sector of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence, and it continues to be a challenging research topic. Due to its enormous application many works have been done in this field focusing on different languages. Arabic, being a diversified language has a huge scope of research with potential ch...

We introduce two data augmentation techniques, which, used with a Resnet-BiLSTM-CTC network, significantly reduce Word Error Rate and Character beyond best-reported results on handwriting text recognition tasks. apply novel that simulates strikethrough (HandWritten Blots) handwritten generation method based printed (StackMix), which proved to be very effective in StackMix uses weakly-supervised...

background: several grafting materials have been used for alveolar ridge augmentation. the literature lacks researches to compare cenobone to other grafting materials. the aim of this study was to compare cenobone/cenomembrane complex to bio-oss/bio-gide complex in lateral alveolar bone augmentation in terms of radiographic, histologic, and histomorphometric parameters. materials and methods: i...

Abstract Data-hungry deep neural networks have established themselves as the de facto standard for many NLP tasks, including traditional sequence tagging ones. Despite their state-of-the-art performance on high-resource languages, they still fall behind statistical counterparts in low-resource scenarios. One methodology to counterattack this problem is text augmentation, that is, generating new...

SYNOPSIS. The fact that phenotypic evolution can be studied on a character by character basis suggests that the body is composed of locally integrated units. These units can be considered as modular parts of the body which integrate functionally related characters into units of evolutionary transformation. These units may either emerge spontaneously by self-organization, or may be the product o...

Ductile bulk metallic glass of composition 53.0Zr–18.7Cu–12.0Ni–16.3Al (at%) is plastically deformed under uniaxial compression and observed in situ by synchrotron high-energy X-ray diffraction. The diffraction patterns reveal the induced atomic strain is orientation dependent. At the onset of plastic deformation, the atomic strain in the compression direction saturates to a close-nearest-neigh...

MOTIVATION Mapping character state changes over phylogenetic trees is central to the study of evolution. However, current probabilistic methods for generating such mappings are ill-suited to certain types of evolutionary models, in particular, the widely used models of codon substitution. RESULTS We describe a general method, based on a uniformization technique, which can be utilized to gener...
