In I 882 Shepherd reported three cases of fracture of the posterior process of the talus, which he had found while working in the dissecting room. In each case the fragment of hone consisted of the posterior part of the tubercle of the talus lateral to the groove for the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus, and had attached to it the posterior fasciculus of the lateral ligament of the ankle jo...

Rare accessory or inconstant bones of tile foot are usually regarded by surgeons and radiologists L5 collectors’ pieces, often of little more than academic interest. But from time to) tinle such hones cause symptoms requiring surgical treatment. ihe Os j)aracuneiforme, first described by D vight in 1902, is one of tile least common of tile accessory i)ones, and early descriptions of it are rath...

Recently, people have begun to use OS virtualization as a tool for improving LAN security. While virtualization is very useful in optimizing hardware utilization, we show that its security benefits come at a price.

O desenvolvimento de software é uma atividade que envolve riscos, parte deles relacionados a problemas de decisão, principalmente no nível gerencial. São muitas variáveis dinâmicas interconectadas a serem gerenciadas, sendo indispensável o uso de ferramentas que auxiliem os gerentes em suas tomadas de decisão, identificando os riscos antes de eles se materializarem.

A perceptual experiment concerning South Swedish word accents (accent I, accent II) is described. By means of editing and resynthesis techniques the F0 pattern of a test word in a phrase context has been systematically manipulated: initial rise (glide vs. jump) and final concatenation (6 timing degrees of the accentual fall). The results indicate that both a gliding rise and a late fall seem ne...

In this paper we consider the dynamics of dislocations with the same Burgers vector, contained in the same glide plane, and moving in a material with periodic obstacles. We study two cases: i) the particular case of parallel straight dislocations and ii) the general case of curved dislocations. In each case, we perform rigorously the homogenization of the dynamics and predict the corresponding ...

Early Interaction with Buddhism (552–710): Between 538 and 552, new religions came to Japan from China and Korea. The arrival of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism initiated new dynamics of religious interaction. In early Shinto, each community probably worshipped its local deity according to provincial custom.
