background and purpose: decision-making process in thoracolumbar and lumbar burst fracture (tlbf) patients with thoracolumbar injury severity and classification score (tlics) > 4 is remained controversial. on the other hand, the question is whether that the oswestry disability index (odi) can be use to assess to clinical outcomes in these patients . we aimed to study the correlation between the...

Rock burst is the most attractive and hot research area in geomechanics, mining, and civil engineering due to the increasing depth of mines and construction of deep underground structures. It has also been a severe problem in ground control measures in the last few decades. Many studies have been done by different researchers in order to minimize the hazards of rock burst and to provide a safe ...

Objective(s) Theophylline, a xanthenes derivative, is still widely used as an effective bronchodilator in the management of asthmatic patients. It is used both as a prophylactic drug and to prevent acute exacerbations of asthma. The aim of study was to formulate and evaluate effect of the microencapsulation of theophylline loaded nanoparticles on the reduction of burst release. Materials and Me...

Differentiated Services (Diffserv) which was proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is a scalable and robust model for providing the end-to-end QoS. In the Diffserv networks, metering mechanisms are used to measure traffic stream. The single rate Three Color Meter (srTCM) [1],which was proposed by IETF,‏ meters an IP packet stream and marks its packets either green, yellow, or red....

less, for any burst of length 11 or less induces at most a burst of length 3 or less and one of length 8 or less in the respective classes of digit positions. Some codes obtained along the same lines are listed in Table II, where (b,, bz) and (n, + n,) mean that the code is a combination of a burst-b, code with code-length n, and a burst-b, code with code-length n 2, each of which is generated ...

A water distribution network is one of the important parts of infrastructure systems. The efficient management and proactive planning of capital investment of these assets are fundamental for efficient and effective service delivered by water companies. The direct economic costs (i.e. rehabilitation investment, repair costs, water loss, etc.) as well as indirect costs (i.e. service and traffic ...

We developed a very low bit rate watercolor-like video form, which is constructed with a bi-level Y luminance component and a number of UV chrominance combinations. The bi-level Ycomponent outlines the features of an image and the UVcombinations describe the basic color information of the image. The UV combinations are dynamically chosen during encoding. The resultant video looks better than bi...
