In this age of Information Technology, computerized systems are playing a pivotal role in every walk of life. No one can deny the priceless contribution of computer science in the fields of education, research, commerce and industry, or any field of human interest, even entertainment. Computer technology is also playing a vital role in the medical field and has saved millions of precious human ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability and the validity of the self-reported questionnaire Olerud-Molander Ankle Score (OMAS) in subjects after an ankle fracture. METHODS When evaluating the test-retest reliability of the OMAS, 42 subjects surgically treated due to an ankle fracture participated 12 months after injury. OMAS was completed by the patients o...

In this paper, we propose a novel shape descriptor that is robust in differentiating intrinsic symmetric points on geometric surfaces. Our motivation is that even the state-of-the-art shape descriptors and non-rigid surface matching algorithms suffer from symmetry flips. They cannot differentiate surface points that are symmetric or near symmetric. Hence a left hand of one human model may be ma...

We have successfully fabricated 0.1 μm gate GaAs MESFETs using a low cost process. The result was obtained from optical lithography, resist etching, and ion-implantation technologies based on Single Resist layer Dummy gate (SRD) process. The novel feature of the SRD process is forming a sub-quarter micron gate with conventional optical lithography. We have obtained a 0.18 μm gate using this pro...

In this paper Semantic-Enhanced Entity Relationship (SEER) and Semantic – Relational Database (SRD) diagrams are proposed. SEER and SRD are extensions of Enhanced Entity Relationship (EER) and Relational Database (RD) diagrams respectively that are based on dealing with Semantic Integrity Constraints. EER and RD do not take semantic constraints in matter. A lots of information are lost because ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the reliability of knee extensor and flexor muscle strength measurements in persons with late effects of polio. DESIGN A test-retest reliability study. SUBJECTS Thirty men and women (mean age 63 (standard deviation 6.4) years) with verified late effects of polio. METHODS Knee extensor and flexor muscle strength in both lower limbs were measured twice 7 days apart using...

OBJECTIVE To assess the reliability of 6 gait performance tests in individuals with chronic mild to moderate post-stroke hemiparesis. DESIGN An intra-rater (between occasions) test-retest reliability study. SUBJECTS Fifty men and women (mean age 58+/-6.4 years) 6-46 months post-stroke. METHODS The Timed "Up & Go" test, the Comfortable and the Fast Gait Speed tests, the Stair Climbing asce...

We revisit the sequential rate-distortion (SRD) trade-off problem for vector-valued Gauss-Markov sources with mean-squared error distortion constraints. We show via a counterexample that the dynamic reverse water-filling algorithm suggested by [1, eq. (15)] is not applicable to this problem, and consequently the closed form expression of the asymptotic SRD function derived in [1, eq. (17)] is n...
