Factors affecting final functional outcomes in open‐globe injuries and use of ocular trauma score as a predictive tool in Nepalese population

Saurav M. Shrestha, Casey L. Anthony, Grant A. Justin, Madhu Thapa et al. • BMC Ophthalmology (2021)

Abstract Background Open globe injury (OGI) is one of the most devastating form of ocular trauma. The aim of the study is to identify the epidemiology and predict visual outcomes in traumatic open globe injuries using ocular trauma score (O...

Cost effective reproduction number based strategies for reducing deaths from COVID-19

Christopher Thron, Vianney Mbazumutima, Luis V. Tamayo, Léonard Todjihounde • Journal of Mathematics in Industry (2021)

Abstract In epidemiology, the effective reproduction number R e $R_{e}$ is used to characterize the growth rate of an epidemic outbreak. If R e > 1 $R_{e} >1$ , the epidemic worsens, and if R e < 1 $R_{e}< 1$ , then it subsides and eventual...

Effects of gait support in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration by a wearable robot based on synchronization control

Atsushi Tsukahara, Kunihiro Yoshida, Akira Matsushima, Kumiko Ajima et al. • Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation (2018)

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) mainly manifests a cerebellar ataxic gait, leading to marked postural sway and the risk of falling down. Gait support using a wearable robot is expected to be an effective solution to m...

Robust Resistive Switching Constancy and Quantum Conductance in High-k Dielectric-Based Memristor for Neuromorphic Engineering

Muhammad Ismail, Chandreswar Mahata, Myounggon Kang, Sungjun Kim • Nanoscale Research Letters (2022)

Abstract For neuromorphic computing and high-density data storage memory, memristive devices have recently gained a lot of interest. So far, memristive devices have suffered from switching parameter instability, such as distortions in resis...

On Deadlock Detection in Distributed Systems

Virgil D. Gligor, S.H. Shattuck • IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (1980)

A hierarchically organized and a distributed protocol for deadlock detection in distributed databases are presented in [1]. In this paper we show that the distributed protocol is incorrect, and present possible remedies. However, the distri...
