MEMS devices with harmonic oscillators resonating at specific frequency are useful in variety of applications. One of these applications that demands high and accurate resonant frequency is optical scanners for display applications. Due to the large tolerances of MEMS fabrication a calibration is required to achieve accuracy in resonance frequency. In this paper we present a novel technique for...

Mechanisms that regulate the growth of eyelashes have remained obscure. We ascertained two families from Pakistan who presented with familial trichomegaly, or extreme eyelash growth. Using a combination of whole exome sequencing and homozygosity mapping, we identified distinct pathogenic mutations within fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) that underlie the disorder. Subsequent sequencing of this...

We implemented an initial application of a sentence-trimming approach (Trimmer) to the problem of multi-document summarization in the MSE2005 and DUC2005 tasks. Sentence trimming was incorporated into a feature-based summarization system, called MultiDocument Trimmer (MDT), by using sentence trimming as both a preprocessing stage and a feature for sentence ranking. We demonstrate that we were a...

An attempt was made to determine the water-binding capacity of each individual trimming in a multicomponent system. Three types of experimental cooked sausages (finely chopped luncheon sausage, coarsely chopped sausage and ring sausage with potato starch) were made of five different meat trimmings: two pork trimmings and two beef trimmings, and one beef trimming used as a replacer. The water-bi...

Eyelash area and eyelid marginal defects can be quite problematic to reconstruct in case of deficiency due its unique features. Reconstruction eyelashes not only contributes aesthetic but also functional results. The switch flap technique, which aims two stages, provide a tissue with reliable vascularity. Besides, the main advantage technique is reconstruction their exact equivalents ability pr...
