RCG is a FORTRAN77 program initially coded (1964-65) on the IBM 7030 (”Stretch”), and subsequently modified (with addition of many new features and options) to run on other IBM, CDC, and CRAY mainframes, various VAXs and MicroVAXs, SUN and IBM RISC workstations, and finally Macintosh Centris 650 computers (68040 microprocessor with built-in floating-point processor and using the Language System...

Tibial eminence avulsion fractures are relatively rare injuries, most frequently occurring in skeletally immature patients. Screws or suture fixation can be used, with each offering different potential advantages. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a suture fixation technique for displaced tibial eminence avulsion fractures using the Rotator Cuff Gu...

Early detection and analysis of the values of the parameters of oxidative stress, malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive carbonyl groups (RCG) in saliva, as possible biochemical markers in the diagnosis and prognosis of periodontal disease, may be of particular importance in children. For this reason, the aim of this study was to examine the levels of lipoproteins in the saliva of children without ...

We examined qualitatively and quantitatively in adult rat retinas the temporal degeneration of the nerve fibre layer after intra-orbital optic nerve transection (IONT) or crush (IONC). Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons were identified by their heavy neurofilament subunit phosphorylated isoform (pNFH) expression. Optic nerve injury induces a progressive axonal degeneration which after IONT proce...

The chemical element nickel is of particular interest in stellar physics. In the layers which Fe-peak elements dominate mean opacity (the so-called Z-bump), Ni second contributor to Rosseland after iron, according Opacity Project data. Reliable cross sections are therefore mandatory for building realistic models, especially main-sequence pulsators such as $\beta$ Cep and slowly pulsating B star...

This article presents a general system framework that lays the foundation for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-enhanced broadcast communications in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoTs). In our model, we consider multiple sensor clusters co-existing smart factory where direct links between these and central base station (BS) are blocked completely. this context, RIS is utilized to refle...

SUMMARY On the basis of a comparison of the shunt diagnoses in 73 radiocardioangiographic examinations with those from cardiac catheterization supplemented by operation and/or autopsy findings, it is shown that an intravenous injection of 99mtechnetium pertechnetate with subsequent evaluation using a scintillation camera and computerized regional time-activity curves is very accurate for the qu...
