    Periprosthetic acetabular bone loss using a constrained acetabular component

    No full text
    This is the author-created version of Springer, Ito, Hiroshi ; Matsuno, Takeo,Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 124(2), 2004, 137-139. The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com. authorWe describe two patients with a constrained acetabular component who required treatment for recurrent dislocation showing postoperative periprosthetic acetabular bone loss. These hips required revision surgery and demonstrated considerable bone loss caused by the migrated acetabular component. Impingement may have occurred with increased stress at the bone-prosthesis interface, and the sharp ends of screws with a metal shell may have gradually plowed up the acetabular bone. These failures illustrate the potential risk of using a constrained acetabular component

    Discrimination of wine using taste and smell sensors

    No full text
    The taste-smell sensory fusion was conducted by combining a taste sensor array using lipid/polymer membranes and a smell sensor array using conducting polymer elements. Responses to different brands of wine were investigated and a clear discrimination among different samples was obtained by processing the data from either type of sensors. The effect of the aging process on the quality of wine was also studied. It was found that the system can discriminate among differently aged samples of the same red wine. The information provided by one type of array is independent of that provided by the other and their combination enhances the overall information available concerning the sample being measured. This suggests that the sensory fusion can be a powerful way to improve the performance of sensor technologies currently available

    Improved mixing time for k-subgraph sampling*

    | openaire: EC/H2020/654024/EU//SoBigDataUnderstanding the local structure of a graph provides valuable insights about the underlying phenomena from which the graph has originated. Sampling and examining k-subgraphs is a widely used approach to understand the local structure of a graph. In this paper, we study the problem of sampling uniformly k-subgraphs from a given graph. We analyse a few different Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approaches, and obtain analytical results on their mixing times, which improve significantly the state of the art. In particular, we improve the bound on the mixing times of the standard MCMC approach, and the state-of-the-art MCMC sampling method PSRW, using the canonical-paths argument. In addition, we propose a novel sampling method, which we call recursive subgraph sampling RSS, and its optimized variant RSS+. The proposed methods, RSS and RSS+, are provably faster than the existing approaches. We conduct experiments and verify the uniformity of samples and the efficiency of RSS and RSS+.Peer reviewe
