tears remains challenging, because the high re-tear rate following rotator cuff repair is due to multiple factors. Aspects such as poor tendon biology, muscular fatty infiltration and retraction, and nonanatomical repairs ultimately lead to inferior repair biomechanics. Although many of these factors remain beyond the control of the surgeon, certain repair constructs have been shown to decrease...

The time course of polysome formation was studied in a long-term wheat germ cell-free translation system using sedimentation and electron microscopy techniques. The polysomes were formed on uncapped luciferase mRNA with translation-enhancing 5' and 3' UTRs. The formation of fully loaded polysomes was found to be a long process that required many rounds of translation and proceeded via several p...

This paper proposes a new method, oriented to crop row detection in images from maize fields with high weed pressure. The vision system is designed to be installed onboard a mobile agricultural vehicle, i.e. submitted to gyros, vibrations and undesired movements. The images are captured under image perspective, being affected by the above undesired effects. The image processing consists of thre...

BACKGROUND Traditional biomechanical evaluations of rotator cuff repair techniques employ cyclic loading of the supraspinatus tendon in an isolated medial direction. PURPOSE This study was conducted to evaluate 2 different rotator cuff repair techniques that are currently the subject of debate with cyclic loading and with internal and external humeral rotation to better simulate postoperative...

In Placement Legalization, it is often assumed that (almost) all standard cells possess the same height and can therefore be aligned in cell rows , which then treated independently. However, this no longer true for recent technologies, where a substantial number of double- or even arbitrary multiple-row to expected. Due interdependencies between placements within several rows, legalization task...
