Background Advances in medicine and surgery have allowed patients, who in the past would have required more aggressive amputations, to maintain longer stump lengths.Microvascular free tissue transfer has become increasingly popular to preserve limb length and optimize functionality.We present our experience using microvascular free flap reconstruct

Geological investigations in the Nkara region of Kwilu Province, DR Burner Cap Congo, have identified seven lithofacies: pudding, argillite, quartz arenite, feldspathic arenite, greywackes, micaceous arenite, and soft finegrained quartz arenite.This study presents the petrographic and geochemical compositions and paleo-environmental conditions for

We explore the extent to which claim incidence in Disability Income Insurance (DII) is affected by changes in the unemployment rate in Australia.Using data from 1986 to 2001, we fit a hurdle model to explore the presence and magnitude of the effect of changes in unemployment rate on the incidence of DII claims, controlling for policy holder charact

This paper proposes a design approach based on integrated architectural and system-on-chip (SoC) simulations.The main idea is to have an efficient framework for the design and the evaluation of multimedia terminals, allowing a fast system simulation with a definable BUBBLE BOMB PACK degree of accuracy.The design approach includes the simulation of

This study compares four machine-learning algorithms comprising of Classification And Regression Trees (CART), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Tree Boosting (GTB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for the classification of urban land-use and land-cover (LULC) features.Using multitemporal and multisensor Landsat data from 1984-2020 at 5-year intervals f
