1. Dr. Hadzic is a shareholder at Macosta-Medical USA (Houston, TX); none of the remaining authors have financial interest in the device used in the study. In hindsight, although we simply studied the effect of injection pressures on epidural spread during lumbar plexus block rather than the actual devices or means of monitoring, this probably would have been best disclosed a priori. 2. It woul...

Data mining and knowledge discovery aim at finding useful information from typically massive collections of data, and then extracting useful knowledge from the information. To date a large number of approaches have been proposed to find useful information and discover useful knowledge; for example, decision trees, Bayesian belief networks, evidence theory, rough set theory, fuzzy set theory, kN...

In this paper, we give some new definitions of M-fuzzy metric spaces and we prove a common fixed point theorem for six mappings under the condition of weakly compatible mappings in complete M-fuzzy metric spaces.

In this communication we describe the organization of millimeter-sized subunits into complex, three-dimensional (3-D) arrays using mesoscale self-assembly (MESA)sself-assembly of components with lateral dimensions comparable to the distance over which the attractive forces operate.1,2 Previous reports have demonstrated the self-assembly of small objects into ordered arrays displaying simple tra...

We present Hall effect measurements on the heavy fermion compound CePtSi. Above the nee1 temperature the behavior of the Hall effect is that generally observed in heavy fermion compounds and ascribed to skew scattering. Below TN the Hall effect is enhanced and its stronly non-linear field dependence evidences the existence of a field-induced phase transtion. We discus the origin of the enhancem...

World Wide Web is the largest database in the Universe which is mostly understandable by human users and not by machines. It lacks the existence of a semantic structure which maintains interdependency of its components. Presently, search on web is keyword based i.e., information is retrieved on the basis of text search of all available matching URL’s / hyperlinks. This may result in the present...

Platforming has become an important means of cost-sharing among industrial products. However, many firms face systemic downward pressure on commonality, with the result that many platforms realize less commonality than intended. Past research has hypothesized that divergence is the result of conflicting tensions between product customization / optimization and cost control. This article investi...
