In this note we show that the, so called, circularity measures based on radial moments , as defined in [1], are a particular case of the circularity measures introduced by [2].

When proving the correctness of algorithms in distributed systems, one generally considers safety conditions and liveness conditions. The Input/Output (I/O) automaton model and its timed version have been used successfully, but have focused on safety conditions and on a restricted form of liveness called fairness. In this paper we develop a new I/O automaton model, and a new timed I/O automaton...

Control of the radial profile of trapped antiproton clouds is critical to trapping antihydrogen. We report detailed measurements of the radial manipulation of antiproton clouds, including areal density compressions by factors as large as ten, achieved by manipulating spatially overlapped electron plasmas. We show detailed measurements of the near-axis antiproton radial profile, and its relation...

In this paper, we use an input oriented chance-constrained DEA model withrandom inputs and outputs. A super-eciency model with chance constraintsis used for ranking. However, for convenience in calculations a non-linear deterministicequivalent model is obtained to solve the models. The non-linearmodel is converted into a model with quadratic constraints to solve the nonlineardeterministic model...

Objective: Brachytherapy sources are widely used for the treatment of cancer. The report of Task Group No. 43 (TG-43) of American Association of Physicists in Medicine is known as the most common method for the determination of dosimetric parameters for brachytherapy sources. The aim of this study is to obtain TG-43 dosimetric parameters for 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 103Pd brachyt...

This paper presents a proposal for convincing industry of aspect-orientation, as it has been applied within Siemens. The proceeding stresses on the immediate benefits and ease of usage. Starting with an existing application, we show how to improve the performance and how to extend the behavior with only a few code modifications by bringing aspect-orientation into the game. An adequate infrastru...

Attention to the relations between visual features modulates hippocampal representations. Moreover, damage impairs discrimination of spatial relations. We explore a mechanism by which this might occur: modulation acetylcholine system. Acetylcholine enhances afferent input hippocampus and suppresses recurrent connections within it. This biases processing toward environmental input, should improv...

background:  the purpose of this study was to report the preoperative complaints and postoperative outcome of patients after removal of the radial head prosthesis.   methods:  this is a retrospective review of 14 adult patients (6 females and 8 males) from 2007 to 2011, who underwent radial head prosthesis removal by three surgeons. the average time between implantation and removal was 23 month...
