Background: Safe surgical margins are difficult to achieve when performing surgical resections for bone and soft tissue tumours involving the pelvis. We evaluated whether safe surgical margins could be achieved and if oncological outcomes could be predicted based on microscopic marginal status. Method: We analyzed 53 consecutive patients surgically

Particle image velocimetry was used in a low-speed wind tunnel to investigate the vortex structures of a slender reverse delta wing at various angles of attack and roll. This work investigates the characteristics of the vortices generated downstream in planes perpendicular to the freestream direction and their dependence on angles of attack and rol

The elbow joint has a key role in the functions of the upper limb like feeding, washing and toilet care. Its hinge action and strong static collateral stability, combined with dexterity and versatility of the shoulder, hand and forearm enables the hand to be put in almost any position on the body. The elbow is inherently a stable joint. Both static

The chapter looks at the history and development of of Islamic institution in Malaysia. The issues of federalism and distribution of legislative powers are discussed in relation to Islamic institution. The chapter discusses the Islamic religious councils, mufti and syariah courts.

This study assesses the mean and volatility spillover effects of changes in food prices among a number of Asia and Pacific countries - Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India and Thailand - including the USA as a special case using daily observations for 1995 to 2010. Employing an empirical multivariate-TGARCH model this

Mawdudi's thesis of Muslim unity touches core of the issue as he emphasizes on finding the basics of understanding the Muslim unity. Any attempt to set the theory of Muslim unity may not get the practical dimension until the standards of its understanding are laid out. In other words, it can be said that setting the basics of understanding the

Multiprocessor Scheduling Problem (MSP) is an NP-complete optimization problem. The applications of this problem are numerous, but are, as suggested by the name of the problem, most strongly associated with the scheduling of computational tasks in a multiprocessor environment. Many methods and algorithms were suggested to solve this problem due to

In this research, a practical method was proposed for the analysis of genetic algorithms for the sake of proving their efficiency, showing the weak points, and checking the performance by answering most of the important questions related. The experimental result done on some of the known genetic algorithms show the usefulness of the proposed method

A six component force balance was used to obtain the CL for a reverse delta wing and a delta wing for comparison purposes. A simulation of the streamlines, velocity vectors and surface pressure contours was carried out using CFD software to show the characteristics of the flow over a reverse delta wing.Investigation of the Vortical Flow around a Re

Once the knowledge about the basic performance parameters is gained it is possible to evaluate the performance of FSO links. Such is done firstly by evaluating all possible losses present in the channel, such as geometric, atmospheric and optical losses [1, 2]. Geometric losses are greatly dependent on the divergence angle and distance while atmosp
