BACKGROUND Radial club hand is a well-recognized congenital malformation characterized by hypoplasia of bone and soft tissue on the radial aspect of the forearm and hand. The modalities of treatment have traditionally varied from stretching casts with soft-tissue procedures to the use of multiple corrective osteotomies. These osteotomies can be stabilized by a variety of methods, including exte...

Compound is a program that accepts a noun compound of arbitrary length and attempts to construct a meaning for it. A noun compound is a sequence of two or more nouns used to describe a single referent. Compound was designed to function as a part of a natural language understanding system. Some of the knowledge (e.g.. context) necessary to understand some compounds must come from sources that a ...

We present single-dish Lovell telescope H i observations of a sample of 67 emission-line and UV-excess galaxies, of which 52 are taken from the University of Michigan (UM) catalogue. In addition, H i observations of 24 gas-rich irregular galaxies are presented. We find that emission-line galaxies are H i–rich with a median H i mass to blue luminosity ratio MHI /LB of ∼ 0.45 M /L . Within the UM...

We evaluate the rich-club property of the Internet topology at the autonomous system (AS) level by comparing the Internet AS graphs of traceroute and BGP, and the synthetic graphs of PFP model. The results indicate that, for rich-club coefficient, PFP model can exactly match traceroute AS graphs in the early years around 2002, but it has significantly deviated from the grown AS graphs since abo...

In his book on Pmax [6], Woodin presents a collection of partial orders whose extensions satisfy strong club guessing principles on ω1. In this paper we employ one of the techniques from this book to produce Pmax variations which separate various club guessing principles. The principle (+) and its variants are weak guessing principles which were first considered by the second author [3] while s...

Club foot was diagnosed by ultrasonography in 91 feet (52 fetuses) at a mean gestational age of 22.1 weeks (14 to 35.6). Outcome was obtained by chart review in 26 women or telephone interview in 26. Feet were classified as normal, positional deformity, isolated club foot or complex club foot. At initial diagnosis, 69 feet (40 fetuses) were classified as isolated club foot and 22 feet (12 fetus...

The rich-club concept has been introduced in order to characterize the presence of a cohort of nodes with a large number of links (rich nodes) that tend to be well connected between each other, creating a tight group (club). Rich-clubness defines the extent to which a network displays a topological organization characterized by the presence of a node rich-club. It is crucial for the investigati...

This paper presents an Abaqus/Explicit simulation of the impact event when a golf club hits a golf ball. This is a challenging subject for finite element simulations because of it is characterized by high strain rate behavior. The simulation emphasizes accurate material characterization and realistic model construction. Specifically, an advanced nonlinear viscoelastic material model from Veryst...

In Lewis and Clark High School’s Key Club, meetings are always held in a crowded classroom. The system of event sign-up is inefficient hinders members from joining events. This has led to students becoming discouraged Club often resulted lack volunteers for important club needed more efficient way connecting with volunteering opportunities. To solve this problem, we developed VolunteerMatch Mob...
