properties of the hybrid of block-pulse functions and lagrange polynomials based on the legendre-gauss-type points are investigated and utilized to define the composite interpolation operator as an extension of the well-known legendre interpolation operator. the uniqueness and interpolating properties are discussed and the corresponding differentiation matrix is also introduced. the appli...

OBJECTIVE We use the extension block Kirschner wire method that orginated from Ishigura to treat mallet fracture and evaluate its efficiency. METHODS 38 patients were treated prospectively. Mean follow-up was 18 months and all patients evaluated radiologically and clinically according to Crawford's criteria. RESULTS Union was obtained in all patients. The results obtained were satisfactory ...

We introduce a Bayesian extension of the latent block model for model-based block clustering of data matrices. Our approach considers a block model where block parameters may be integrated out. The result is a posterior defined over the number of clusters in rows and columns and cluster memberships. The number of row and column clusters need not be known in advance as these are sampled along wi...

paravertebral block is an appropriate method for intraoperative and postoperative pain relief in hemithorax operations .effectiveness of this type of pain management have already been shown in breast surgery .its effect on controlling chest wa ll pain is clear and remarkable . in our case despite of wide extension of lesion and penetration of ulcer to the deep part of thorax after excision, the...

This paper introduces the extension of Walsh-Hadamard block codes in order to obtain complex valued block codes. These complex valued block codes lead to an improved spectral efficiency with additional lower error rate. Applied for low rate concatenated coding schemes required for CDMA uplink transmission, the gain in spectral efficiency due to the new codes can be used for strengthening other ...

NAND flash-based SSDs utilize out-of-place update to prevent erase operations from blocking regular requests, in the meanwhile, out-of-place update creates a huge amount of invalid pages. Traditional FTLs perceive these invalid pages as useless data and discard them during garbage collection. But given value locality, certain values are likely to appear afterward, resulting in abundant invalid ...

The Cathaysia Block is located in southeastern part of South China, which situates in the west Pacific subduction zone. It is thought to have undergone a compression-extension transition of the continental crust during Mesozoic-Cenozoic during the subduction of Pacific Plate beneath Eurasia-Pacific Plate, resulting in extensive magmatism, extensional basins and reactivation of fault systems. Al...
