Introduction With arthroscopic techniques being used, the importance of knot tying has been examined. Previous literature has examined the use of reversing half-hitches on alternating posts (RHAPs) on knot security. Separately, there has been research regarding different suture materials commonly used in the operating room. The specific aim of this study was to validate the effect of different ...

Economy is demanding new models, able to understand and predict the evolution of markets. To this respect, Econophysics is offering models of markets as complex systems, such as the gas-like model, able to predict money distributions observed in real economies. However, this model reveals some technical hitches to explain the power law (Pareto) distribution, observed in individuals with high in...

-This IS a subject which does not at first sight appear to be of major importance in Cane Sugar Factory operation nor possibly of sufficient interest to warrant intensive thought on the part of the Engineer whose duty it is to keep machinery run"ning at all costs. Lubrication is only too often regarded as a necessary evil-a messy, troublesome -subject only to be tackled as and when hitches occu...

Synchronization, in general, is the process of event coordination so that a system performs in unison. In wireless sensor networks (WSN), the network topology often changes dynamically in time. This brings technical hitches and challenges into time synchronization of the sensor nodes in the WSN. In such networks, data routing scheme is either data fusion, fusion of decisions or hybrid fusion. N...

Missing Values and its problems are very common in the data cleaning process. Several methods have been proposed so as to process missing data in datasets and avoid problems caused by it. This paper discusses various problems caused by missing values and different ways in which one can deal with them. Missing data is a familiar and unavoidable problem in large datasets and is widely discussed i...

This study analyses and presents accounting academics' experiences in six universities Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia to adapt the swift change remote virtual classroom delivery model forced by COVID-19 pandemic, while also gaining valuable lessons from this unique situation. In study, autoethnography's basic principles were used. The main results suggest that universities' combined current inf...

Next generation sequencers have greatly improved our ability to mine polymorphisms and mutations out of entire (or portions of) genomes. The reliability of their outputs, though, showed to be very related to the sequencing chemistry and to deeply affect the quality of the downstream analyses. We focus here on the two-base color code chemistry of AB SOLiD sequencers and propose a comprehensive q...
