In this paper, the author proposes a novel configuration using a projection type wearable display, infrared camera with light source, and retro-reflective screen. In this configuration, the image is projected onto the retro-reflective screen. The screen location as well as the finger tip position relative to the user’s head is achieved using infrared camera and image processing. These locations...

BACKGROUND Retro-bulbar anesthesia is one of the most common regional blocks used for intraocular surgeries. Complications associated with regional blocks may be limited to the eye or may be systemic. CASE REPORT After a retro-bulbar block for glaucoma surgery, a 60-year-old man developed loss of consciousness, apnea with hypotension and bradycardia-features of brainstem anesthesia. We presen...

In this paper, we introduce and characterize double fuzzy weakly preopen and double fuzzy weakly preclosed functions between I-double gradation fuzzy topological spaces and also study these functions in relation to some other types of already known functions.

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of closure and interior defined by an intuitionistic gradation of openness. We also introduce the concepts of weakly gp-maps, gp-open maps and several types of compactness, and obtain some characterizations.

In distributed systems shared by multiple tenants, effective resource management is an important pre-requisite to providing quality of service guarantees. Many systems deployed today lack performance isolation and experience contention, slowdown, and even outages caused by aggressive workloads or by improperly throttled maintenance tasks such as data replication. In this work we present Retro, ...

New high-yielding synthetic routes to the small-molecule endofullerenes H2O@C60, D2O@C60 and H2@C60 are described. The use of high temperatures and pressures for the endohedral molecule incorporation are avoided. A new partial closure step using PPh3, and final suturing using a novel Diels-Alder/retro-Diels-Alder sequence are amongst the advances reported.

To map out the efficient organocatalyst requirements in the Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl indane compounds to nitrostyrenes, a dozen different amino organocatalysts containing a p-toluenesulfonyl group (Ts) have been evaluated; excellent enantio-selectivities (up to er 92:8) were obtained with a primary amine-based Ts-DPEN catalyst and a plausible catalytic reaction mechanism was proposed ...

ewing's sarcoma is a relatively common malignant bone tumor that typically occurs in long bone diaphyses of adolescents and young adults of 10-30 years old. often times, all ewing's sarcoma of bone have radiographic abnormalities. diagnosis is usually delayed and can be misdiagnosed as osteomyelitis. bone to bone metastasis occurs, but soft tissue retro bulbar metastasis is rare. this...

Three experiments investigated whether it is possible to orient selective spatial attention to internal representations held in working memory in a similar fashion to orienting to perceptual stimuli. In the first experiment, subjects were either cued to orient to a spatial location before a stimulus array was presented (pre-cue), cued to orient to a spatial location in working memory after the ...
