The aim of our study is to use the data collected to review our practice after reviewing the outcome of the babies discharged home on nasogastric tube feeds and their parents' satisfaction survey.

The purpose of this study is to compare dosimetric difference between CyberKnife M6 and pencil-beam scanning proton therapy (PBSPT) in stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for prostate cancer.

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is defined as the formation of new bone between the vascular surfaces of osteotomized bone segments, separated gradually by distraction forces. Hitherto, a plethora of treatment protocols and modalities have evolved in order to improve the outcomes of craniofacial DO.

A mineral is naturally occurring substance with a characteristic crystal structure and chemical composition. It occurs in rocks. Frequently, it has homogeneous crystalline structure in which one or more types of atoms or molecules may be partially substituted for the original atoms and molecules without changing the structure. Thus, most rock-forming minerals are formed in solid solutions. Aggregates of minerals produce characteristic rock-textures...

There are three questions regarding surgical intervention: 1) what are the indications, 2) when it should be done (timing) and 3) how it should be done. Surgical excision of hemangioma has been usually performed by lenticular excision with a linear closure. This technique is useful in the eyelid, lip and neck region. An alternative technique that does not have these disadvantages is the circular excision or by circular excision and with purse string...

Regardless of the numerous advantages of minimal-invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), concern is driven about loss of accuracy for implant placement and increased complications related to skin slough and infection when a minimally invasive approach is used. Furthermore reduced operative visualization, a steep learning curve, an increased risk of complications, excessive skin trauma and compromised implant fixation and alignment are topic of objection....

The pulse generation out of a laser cavity is a collaborative and evolving interaction process between EM fields (first spontaneous and then stimulated), and the intracavity device meant to introduce mode locking process. When we carry out the actual mode lock analysis, we do take into account of the interplay between all the temporal dynamics of the cavity gain medium, cavity round trip time and the evolution of the temporal behavior of the mode...

This chapter is organized as follows: An introduction to the control of flexible manipulator and using neural network (NN) in the control process is highlighted in section 1. The mathematical model of the flexible manipulator is shown in section 2. The detailed of the controller structure and the simulation model are presented in sections 3 and 4. In section 5 the NN algorithm used in this research is explained, the structure of the NN is also shown...

Horatio Alger Jr. (1832-1899) was an American author who wrote young adult novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to middle-class security and comfort through good works. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on the United States from 1868 to his death in 1899.

Alger was born in the New England coastal town of Chelsea, Massachusetts. In July 1848, Alger

1,1'-bis(phosphino)ferrocene ligands are of interest in catalytic studies as the properties of the phosphorus donor atoms can be altered by changing the phosphine substituents. Additionally, the ferrocene backbone provides unique electronic and conformational flexibility to these ligands. Previous investigations in our lab found that gold compounds with bis(phosphino)ferrocene ligands, [Au₂Cl₂(u03bc-PP)], react with sodium tetrakis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)borate,...
