A retrospective study. To summarize and describe the radiographic parameters of adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) and explore the radiological parameters which are significantly different in sagittal balanced and imbalanced ADS patients. ADS is the most common type of adult spinal deformity. However, no comprehensive description of radiographic parameters in ADS patients has been made, and few...

The current paper examines the cross-efficiency concept in data envelopment analysis (DEA). While cross-efficiency has appeal as a peer evaluation approach, it is often the subject of criticism, due mainly to the use of DEA weights that are often non-unique. As a result, cross-efficiency scores are routinely viewed as arbitrary in that they depend on a particular set of optimal DEA weights gene...

BACKGROUND Chêneau-Brace treatment of a certain standard reduces the rate of surgery, prevents progression and in a certain patient population leads to marked improvement of Cobb angle and cosmetic appearance. During the last two years a patient refusing surgery with a double major curvature of initially 60 degrees showed a clear cosmetic improvement and a clear radiological progression at the ...

Hair Paint is a modeling and animating tool for hair and furry objects. In this paper some improvements are done to Hair Paint to add some new features like adding hair gel to modify the physical behavior of hair or fur, addition of pony tails and hair growth direction to make more complex hair styles. We also implemented mechanisms that avoid the hairstyle mess up due to wind forces.
