In Experiment 1, haptically available object properties that would be diagnostic for constrained common object classification at the basic and subordinate levels were elicited in a questionnaire. The results are considered in terms of the nature of the haptically derived representations of common objects. Initial data are also presented regarding knowledge of the natural co-occurrence of proper...

In recent years, the weakness of the canonical support-confidence framework for associations mining has been widely studied. One of the difficulties in applying association rules mining is the setting of support constraint. A high-support constraint avoids the combinatorial explosion in discovering frequent itemsets, but at the expense of missing interesting patterns of low support. Instead of ...

The sinus lift techniques had a lot of modifications through the years. In 1960 Boyene published sinuslift with lateral access. In the beginning it was used for achieving an optimal intercrestal distance needed for denture making. But in the 1980 Boyen and James started to place implants in the newly created bone. The wish of patients and dentists for minimalivasive methods lead to the developm...

T freezing of water and melting of ice are among the most dramatic examples of phase transitions in nature. Melting ice accounts for everyday phenomena as diverse as the electrification of thunderclouds, in which the liquid layer on ice chunks facilitates the transfer of mass and charge during collisions between them; frost heave powerful enough to lift boulders from the ground (see PHYSICS TOD...

Objective: To reemphasize LIFT technique for fistula in ano with redefined inclusion and exclusion criteria developed by Thai surgeon Arun Rojanasakul & to standardize the procedure for our setting. Material & Method: A prospective observational study in 32 fistula in ano patients treated by LIFT technique from Sept 2011 to March 2013. Result: Fistula in ano healed primarily in all 32 patients ...

As populations expand and life expectancy increases, growing numbers of people are seeking methods to counteract the ageing process. Over the past three decades, refinements in surgical techniques have enhanced our ability to manage the ageing face patient. The goal of ageing face surgery is to achieve a natural, rejuvenated, youthful appearance. Higher patient expectations and increasing deman...

INTRODUCTION: Numerous facelift techniques are employed across aesthetic surgeons, but all can be categorized according to the specific plane(s) of dissection. Regardless of the technique, nerve injuries are ubiquitously feared complications. The dissection plane has been implicated in the rates of nerve injuries, but little consensus exists on the exact relationship. Our aim was to perform a s...
