Shoulder arthroscopy is a promising tool for assessing and treating patients with a rotator cuff tear. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with suture anchor fixation such as the single-row, double-row, and suture bridge technique are popular procedures that can provide excellent clinical outcomes. On the other hand, longitudinal midsubstance, U-shape, or L-shape tears may benefit more from a side...

Position-weight matrices (PWMs) are broadly used to locate transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences. The majority of existing PWMs provide a low level of both sensitivity and specificity. We present a new computational algorithm, a modification of the Staden-Bucher approach, that improves the PWM. We applied the proposed technique on the PWM of the GC-box, binding site for Sp1. The c...

Content Based Image Retrieval is a way of computer viewing technique used to retrieve digital images from a huge database. In this paper we have first calculated the feature vector column-wise and row-wise separately. After this we have concatenated the feature vectors of column-wise and row-wise. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method we have used Precision-Recall crossover point, ...

Multiple Row Displacement (MRD) is a new dispatch technique for multi-method languages. It is based on compressing an n-dimensional table using an extension of the single-receiver row displacement mechanism. This paper presents the new algorithm and provides experimental results that compare it with implementations of existing techniques: compressed n-dimensional tables, look-up automata and si...

This is a preliminary demonstration of volumetric perfusion CT of the brain in domestic pigs by using a prototype 256-detector row CT. Scan range is approximately 100 mm in the craniocaudal direction with 0.5-mm section thickness. The 256-detector row CT is an easily available imaging technique that can provide volumetric cine imaging, CT angiography, and perfusion CT in a wide craniocaudal cov...

BACKGROUND The propeller flap is defined as (1) being island-shaped, (2) having an axis that includes the perforators, and (3) having the ability to be rotated around an axis. The advantage of the propeller flap is that it is a pedicle flap that can be applied to cover defects located at the distal ends of the extremities. The specific aims of the authors' study were (1) to evaluate the usefuln...

Phase change memory (PCM) is a promising memory technology that can offer higher memory capacity than DRAM. Unfortunately, PCM’s access latencies and energies are higher than DRAM and its endurance is lower. DRAM-PCM hybrid memory systems use DRAM as a cache to PCM, to achieve the low access latencies and energies, and high endurance of DRAM, while taking advantage of the large PCM capacity. A ...
