Some studies consider the different physical properties of the stent graft when compared with the blood vessel on the basis of vascular lesions that may require further intervention. We present a case in which a patient developed an intramural hematoma at the distal landing of previous thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) that required the relining with a flared prosthesis. During follow...

Pruning algorit hms for feed-forward neur al networks typically have the undesirable side effect of int erfering with t he learning pro cedure. The network reduct ion algorithm presented in this pap er is implemented by considering only directions in weight space that are orthogonal to those required by t he learning algorit hm. In this way, the network redu ction algorithm chooses a minimal ne...

Chemosensory systems play an oversize role in shaping the life of an insect, such that fundamental behaviors—mating, food choice and seeking, predator and parasitoid avoidance, and egg-laying—are strongly regulated by external chemical stimuli. The recent focus on the molecular mechanisms of chemosensory detection in insect chemical ecology research has identified canonical chemosensory recepto...

The reactive-power service will be or is already obligatory for new grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The paper investigates the impact of the reactive-power service on the energy yield of a photovoltaic system and its effect on the inverter sizing and economic yield. Based on simulations and analysis of an operating photovoltaic system we show that energy losses due to the reactive-power se...

A method for red ucing t he number of uni ts in t he hidden layers of a feed-for war d neur al network is pr esented . Starting wit h a net that is oversize, t he redundan t unit s in t he hidden layer are elimina ted by introducing an addit ional cost fun ct ion on a set of auxiliary linear response uni ts . T he extra cost funct ion enables t he auxiliary units to fuse together the redundant ...

An inferior body image is the main diagnostic criterion for eating disorders and it is positively correlated with avoidance coping strategy using. The users of avoidance coping strategy indicate attentional bias to attractive stimuli (Kwak & Lee, 2007). Also they show more negative affect, stress, and body dissatisfaction after exposure to appearance-related stimuli than before exposure (Stewar...

Shelf space is a precious commodity in libraries, especially for special collections, which rarely deaccession materials. To deal with this problem, many librarians try to maximize efficiency their shelving approaches. A common solution constraints adjusting shelves store materials by size categories. This approach understudied, however, and projects reorganize are often undertaken little more ...

The aim of the paper is to enlighten role that organic agriculture can have in achievement Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Currently, sustainable systems are not adequately recognized SDG and supported by decision-makers. Given plays one key roles development accomplishment, introduction an be a basis implementing SDG. Organic has multiple benefits as most valuable option redesigning food ...
