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...

In this paper, we outline our experiments carried out at the TREC Microblog Track 2011. Our system is based on a plain text index extracted from Tweets crawled from twitter.com. This index has been used to retrieve candidate Tweets for the given topics. The resulting Tweets were post-processed and then analyzed using three different approaches: (i) a burst detection approach, (ii) a hashtag ana...

This paper presents a new analytical model for calculating burst loss rate (BLR) in a slotted optical burst switched network. The analytical result leads to a framework which provides guidelines for optical burst switched networks. Wavelength converter is used for burst contention resolution. The effect of several design parameters such as burst arrival probability, wavelength conversion capabi...

Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are known to have short-time variability and power-law behavior with the index −1.67 in the power spectrum density. Reanalyzing the expanded data, we have found a) the power-law comes from the global profile of the burst and not from the self-similar shots nor rapid fluctuations in the luminosity profile. b) The power indices vary from burst to burst and the value −1.67 ...

We examine the problem of monitoring and identification of correlated burst patterns in multi-stream time series databases. Our methodology is comprised of two steps: a burst detection part, followed by a burst indexing step. The burst detection scheme imposes a variable threshold on the examined data and takes advantage of the skewed distribution that is typically encountered in many applicati...

We present optical, near-infrared, and X-ray observations of the optical afterglow (OA) of the X-ray rich, longduration gamma-ray burst GRB 011211. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data obtained 14, 26, 32, and 59 days after the burst, show the host galaxy to have a morphology that is fairly typical of blue galaxies at high redshift. We measure its magnitude to be R = 24.95 ± 0.11. We detect a brea...

A lot of research has focused on the need to develop an all-optical next generation network. That is, the development of a network where both transmission and switching are all performed in the optical domain. Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has so far received more attention than its predecessors for such a solution. Burst assembly is one the most crucial elements of OBS. The objective of this p...
