Background: No uniform consensus exists to decide type of fixation for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Hypothsis: There is similar functional outcome after rigid fix compared to other methods of fixation which has been published. Study design: Retrospective observational study. Methods: A total of 50 patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruc...

Promoting communicative interactions, while simultaneously drawing students’ attention to language form, is considered as a potentially significant area of research in second language acquisition. This study focuses on the effect of transcribing task, as an autonomous noticing activity, on intermediate and advanced EFL learners' grammatical accuracy. The study was conducted in two advanced and ...

Purpose Altered movement patterns and spine instability are important factors in the etiology of chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP). The faulty recruitment pattern of core muscles causes poor support and increased loading on the lumbar spine and ultimately leads to postural instability. The aim of this study is the effect of core stability exercises (CSE) combined with abdominal hollow...

Prompt and reliable detection of acute intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is critical to treatment of a number of neurological disorders. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) systems are potentially suitable for detecting ICH (contrast 40-80 HU, size down to 1 mm) at the point of care but face major challenges in image quality requirements. Statistical reconstruction demonstrates improved noise-resolution tradeoffs ...

Abstract We apply object detection techniques based on deep convolutional blocks to end-to-end jet identification and reconstruction tasks encountered at the CERN large hadron collider (LHC). Collision events produced LHC represented as an image composed of calorimeter tracker cells are given input a Single Shot Detection network. The algorithm, named PFJet-SSD performs simultaneous localizatio...

Based on first principles calculations, we studied the structural properties of group V elements P, As, Sb and Bi on the Si(001) surface. For one monolayer of the group V atoms on the Si(001) substrate, stress and stress anisotropy scaled almost linearly with atomic size, implying that the obvious source of surface stress was atomic size effect. We found that stress relief was responsible for t...
