Objective To perform a quantitative computed tomography (CT) assessment of short- and long-term outcomes of autologous fat injection augmentation in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis. Study Design Retrospective case series. Methods Twelve patients who had undergone autologous fat injection augmentation for unilateral vocal fold paralysis in our hospital between 2011 and 2015 wer...

results the simulation results showed that the penetration depth and temperature rise of 980 nm wavelengths were different from those of 1064 nm wavelength. it appeared that 1064 nm wavelength penetrated to deeper layers of tissue compared with 980 nm. moreover, temperature rise during 1064 nm irradiation led to temperature increase in allowable ranges. the findings proved the reason why 1064 n...

A Cantor set is a nonempty, compact, totally disconnected, perfect subset of IR. Now, the set being totally disconnected means that it is scattered about like a “dust”. If you shine light on a clump of dust floating in the air, the shadow of this dust will look like a bunch of spots on the wall. You would be very surprised if you saw that the shadow was a filled-in shape (like a rabbit, say!). ...

In an effort to extend the current literature on “fat talk,” a 2 (Target’s Self-Presentation Style: Fat Talk or Self-Acceptance) x 2 (Target’s Relative Weight Status: Thinner Than Participant or Heavier Than Participant) between-groups experiment was conducted. A sample of 142 women read one of four online scenarios describing a hypothetical shopping trip, and then gave feedback about their res...

Fat-forming solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare variant of solitary fibrous tumor, a mesenchymal fibroblastic neoplasia with a particular branching hypervascular pattern. This tumor is usually classified as benign and only very few fat-forming SFTs with malignant histologic features have been reported. We report a histologically malignant fat-forming solitary fibrous tumor in a 61-year-old m...

the relationship between live body weight, body length, girth circumference, animal hight, upper, middle as well as lower width of fat-tail, fat-tail length, fat-tail gap length, fat-tail depth and fat-tail circumference along with fat-tail weight were determined using records of 731 loribakhtiari sheep. principal component and least square analyses were applied to solve the collinearity instab...

We investigated the applicability of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to children, 100 three to seven year-olds attempting a fully non-verbal adaptation of the IAT involving insect and flower stimuli. Ninety-four achieved 75% accuracy, and these participants attempted a second IAT, incorporating fat and thin female body shapes. Implicit attitude effects in both tests occurred throughout the ...

In this work, nanostructured TiO2 and Cr-doped TiO2 thin films were deposited on glass substrate through sonochemical-chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The resulting thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy techniques. The TiO2 thin film has nanocubic morphology and ...

We explore two different threading approaches on a graphics processing unit (GPU) exploiting two different characteristics of the current GPU architecture. The fat thread approach tries to minimise data access time by relying on shared memory and registers potentially sacrificing parallelism. The thin thread approach maximises parallelism and tries to hide access latencies. We apply these two a...
