Background: Several studies have identified the radial nerve in arm using different anatomic landmarks, however, acontroversy remains. Deltoid tuberosity (DT) and brachioradialis (BR) are reproducible landmarks that can be used toidentify the radial nerve (RN) during fracture surgery.Methods: Dissection of RN was carried out in 17 fresh frozen adult cadavers. Using a calibrate...

3D model retrieval techniques can be classified as histogram-based, view-based and graph-based approaches. We propose a hybrid shape descriptor which combines the global and local radial distance features by utilizing the histogram-based and view-based approaches respectively. We define an area-weighted global radial distance with respect to the center of the bounding sphere of the model and en...

in this research, the spatial distribution of electrical conductivity and ph of springs, ghanats and the base flow concentration places on the streams of central and south-west and central parts of the hamedan-bahar plain were evaluated. using different geostatistical methods such as kriging, minimum curvature, inverse distance, natural neighbor, local polynomial and radial basis functions, 108...

the efficiency measurement is a subject of great interest. the majority of studies on dea models have been carried out using radial or non-radial approaches regarding the application of dea for the efficiency measurement. this paper, based on the directional distance function, proposes a new generalized hybrid measure of efficiency under generalized returns to scale with the existence of both r...

Motivated by the challenge of using DNA-seq data to identify viruses in human blood samples, we propose a novel classification algorithm called " Radial Distance Weighted Discrimination " (or Radial DWD). This classifier is designed for binary classification, assuming one class is surrounded by the other class in very diverse radial directions, which is seen to be typical for our virus detectio...

8 Abstract 9 Purpose The aim of this study was to provide guidance 10 on the safe zones for the exposure of the proximal radius by 11 measuring the distance from the PIN to various anatomical 12 landmarks in the proximal forearm in pronation and 13 supination. 14 Methods Twenty cadaveric arms were used for this study. 15 On the anterior aspect of the forearm, the distance between 16 insertion o...

Rats use their whiskers as tactile sensors to sense their environment. Active whisking, moving whiskers back and forth continuously, is one of prominent features observed in rodents. They can discriminate different textures or extract features of a nearby object such as size, shape and distance through active whisking. There have been studies to localize objects with artificial whiskers inspire...
