Prepectoral breast reconstruction is increasingly popular. This study compares complications between 2 subpectoral and 1 prepectoral breast reconstruction technique. METHODS Between 2008 and 2015, 294 two-staged expander breast reconstructions in 213 patients were performed with 1 of 3 surgical techniques: (1) Prepectoral, (2) subpectoral with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) sling ("Classic"), ...

In order to better understand and motivate students to the needs of dynamic modeling and multivariable (MVSISO) design consideration, the case-study of a twinscrew food extruder provides a real-life example with all the requisite components necessary for unit operations management. The study provides a two-input, two-output system able to be simulated via Simulink model that requires knowledge ...

Expander graphs are useful in the design and analysis of communication networks. Mukhopadhyay et al. introduced a method to generate a family of expander graphs based on nongroup two predecessor single attractor Cellular Automata(CA). In this paper we propose a method to generate a family of expander graphs based on 60/102 Null Boundary CA(NBCA) which is a group CA. The spectral gap generated b...

As oil prices have risen dramatically lately, many people explore alternative ways of heating their residences and businesses in order to reduce the respective cost. One of the options usually considered nowadays is biomass, especially in rural areas with significant local biomass availability. This work focuses on comparing two different biomass energy exploitation systems, aiming to provide h...

If ALIGNs or NOTIFYs are corrupted, but they are replaced in the data stream by expander(s) with valid ERROR primitives, the elasticity buffer of an expander or the frame recipient could overflow at a later time. If the expander determines that its elasticity buffer is getting full and it is due an ALIGN, it should be allowed to choose to delete the invalid dword (assuming it might have been an...

In the previous lecture we saw the definitions of eigenvalue expanders, edge expanders, and vertex expanders for d-regular graphs. To recap, in an eigenvalue expander, all except the first eigenvalue of the graph’s adjacency matrix are bounded below d. In an edge expander, every subset of vertices of size below a certain threshold has a large number of edges “going out” of the subset. And in a ...

Ancient corpora contain various multilingual patterns. This imposes numerous problems on their manual annotation and automatic processing. We introduce a lexicon building system, called Lexicon Expander, that has an integrated language detection module, Language Detection (LD) Toolkit. The Lexicon Expander post-processes the output of the LD Toolkit which leads to the improvement of f-score and...

In this lecture, we will focus on expander graphs (also called expanders), which are pseudoran-dom objects in a more restricted sense than what we saw in the last two lectures. The reader is also referred to the monograph [1] and the tutorial slides [2] for more detailed surveys of today's topics. Expander graphs are universally useful in computer science and have many applications in de-random...
