Current advanced technology allows the accurate three-dimensional reconstruction of cardiac structures using multiple images from two-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). This technology is applicable to atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and provides real-time anatomical information on relevant atrial structures and myocardial thickness as well as suitable sites for transseptal punc...

ports are the most important economic, political and military bottlenecks. this puts shoreline structures (port) in the class of important structures and they have a crucial role in the countries’ life. pile and deck wharf and their access bridges and offshore deck (jetties), are one of the parts which are supplier of coupling between the land and the waterfront. correct and exact estimation of...

Gardens is an integrated programming language and system supporting parallel computation across networks of workstations. The Gardens language, Mianjin, is safe, provides abstraction, and yet does not sacriice performance of the underlying architecture. Included is a special language mechanism, called packers, that is particularly well-suited for the communication of irregular data structures a...

Moderation policies of “free speech” and “safe space” have often been equated to lowand highcensorship levels. However, this paper proposes that moderation policies of “safe space” and “free speech” can also be thought of as a design choice that establishes norms of how individuals should treat each other in that discussion space. Analysis of word usage in matched Reddit communities provides ev...

Retrofitting works are immensely essential for deteriorated and damaged structures in Engineering and Medical fields, in order to keep, or return to, the originality for safe guarding the structures and consumers. In this paper, different types of methods of retrofitting review notes are given based on the experimental, numerical and analytical methods results on strengthening the Reinforced ce...

Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a male with retained Müllerian structures. Remnant excision must be considered due to the possibility of malignant degeneration. We review a case of delayed diagnosis in a 25-year-old man presenting with hematuria. Preoperative counseling must emphasize the risk of malignancy versus the risks to fertility. The da Vin...

Helical multi-wire cables are widely used in bridge construction and can be degraded due to corrosion and fatigue. To reveal defects inside cable structures, elastic guided waves are of interest owing to their ability to propagate over long distances. In practice, cables are often buried into a solid matrix and can be considered as open waveguides. Waves can be leaky and strongly attenuate alon...

We investigate the computational aspects of safe manipulation, a new model of coalitional manipulation that was recently put forward by Slinko and White [11]. In this model, a potential manipulator v announces how he intends to vote, and some of the other voters whose preferences coincide with those of v may follow suit. Depending on the number of followers, the outcome could be better or worse...

In this brief note we connect the discrete logarithm problem over prime fields in the safe prime case to the logarithmic derivative.

We propose a new protocol that can be used to implement a partitionable membership service majority-partition and partitionable membership services for timed asynchronous systems. The protocol is fail-aware in the sense that a process knows at all times if its approximation of the set of processes in its partition is up-to-date or out-of-date. The protocol minimizes wrong suspicions of processe...
