Background: The nasal tip is the most dynamic and detailed part of the nose, and as such, proper alteration of the nasal tip structures remains one of the most difficult tasks of the rhinoplasty surgeon. The interrelationships between the structures forming the tip play an important role in the form and function of nos... |
The lifetime of bioprosthetic heart valves is limited by primary tissue failure and calcification of the valve leaflets. There are indications that synthetic elastomeric materials may also be subject to this problem. The mechanism of calcification is not known, but it is of interest that calcification can be induced in... |
Interpolation by translates of suitable radial basis functions is an important approach towards solving the scattered data problem. However, for a large class of smooth basis functions (including multiquadrics @f(x)=(|x|^2+@l^2)^m^-^d^/^2, m>d/2, 2m-d@?2Z), the existing theories guarantee the interpolant to approximate... |
This work studies signcryption of classical data in the quantum setting. Essentially, we investigate the quantum security of generic constructions of signcryption schemes based on three paradigms, viz., encrypt-then-sign (EtS), sign-then-encrypt (StE) and commit-then-encrypt-and-sign (CtE&S). For doing that we define t... |

INTRODUCTION |
Since the early 1990s, researchers have been concerned with the low rate at which women are included in epidemiologic studies of occupational cancer. A previous evaluation determined that one-third of articles published between 1970 and 1990 included women. |
METHODS |
To assess whether there has been an improvement in recent years, papers on occupational cancer between 1991 and 2009 were reviewed in fifteen journals. |
RESULTS |
The proportion of articles that included men remained stable around 90%, while the proportion of articles that included women increased substantially, from 39% in 1991-1995 to 62% in 2006-2009. Articles that assessed risk among men only or men and women presented a higher number of risk estimates and were more likely t... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Despite advances in the inclusion of women in studies of occupational cancer, disparities remain in the number of studies of occupational cancer and depth of analysis in studies that included women.A Petri net-based approach to QoS-aware configuration for web services |

A h... |
In this paper we consider the class of convex optimization problems with affine inequality constraints and focus hereby on the class of quadratic programs. We propose a smooth vector field that is constructed such that its trajectories converge to the saddle point of the Lagrangian function associated to the convex opt... |
OBJECTIVE |
To investigate the current status of the application of 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and to describe the trend of research in the field. |
METHODS |
PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched for English articles published up to January 10, 2018, with the combination of key words and MeSH terms. The articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Excel 2016, Bicomb 2.0, and VOSviewer1.6.6 were used to analyze the key words, to perform a ... |
RESULTS |
A total of 66 articles were included, and 27 high-frequency key words were extracted. The results showed that 1H-MRS was mainly used in four directions of the clinical practice and scientific research on HIE. In clinical practice, 1H-MRS attracted wide attention as a clinical examination for HIE and a tool for prognost... |
CONCLUSIONS |
As an auxiliary means of magnetic resonance imaging, 1H-MRS plays an important role in investigating the pathogenesis of neonatal HIE, improving existing therapies, and evaluating the prognosis of neonates with HIE.Modification of Geometric Parameters in Outer Rotor Permanent Magnet Generators to Improve THD, Efficienc... |

OBJECTIVES |
Performance on many cognitive tasks varies with time awake and with circadian phase, and the forced desynchrony (FD) protocol can be used to separate these influences on performance. Some performance tasks show practice effects, whereas the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) has been reported not to show such effects. We... |
DESIGN AND SETTING |
A 47-day FD study conducted at the Brigham and Women's Hospital General Clinical Research Center. |
PARTICIPANTS |
Eleven healthy adults (mean age: 24.4 years, 2 women). |
MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS |
For 2 baseline days and across 6 weeks of FD, we gave a test battery (ADD, PVT, self-rating of effort and performance) every 2 hours. During FD, there was a significant (P < 0.0001) improvement in ADD performance (more correct calculations completed), whereas PVT performance (mean reaction time, fastest 10% reaction ti... |
CONCLUSIONS |
The decline in PVT performance suggests a cumulative effect of sleep loss across the 6-week study. Subjects did not accurately detect their declining PVT performance, and a motivational factor could not explain this decline.Knowledge and application of correct car seat head restraint usage among chiropractic college in... |
