LARGE ARMORED BRIDGING OVER FRACTURED VERTEBRA WITH INTRASPINAL TUMOR MIMICKING BONY MASS CAUSED BY MIGRATED FRAGMENTS OF BURST CERVICAL VERTEBRA PRESENTING WITH SEVERE CERVICAL MYELOPATHY

Large armored bridging over fractured vertebra with intraspinal tumor mimicking bony mass caused by migrated fragments of burst cervical vertebra presenting with severe cervical myelopathy

Vertebral body may get displaced anterior or posteror with elements of rotation.However, burst cervical spine vertebral fracture may migrate anteriorly and posteriorly simultaneously.However anterior displaced fragment forming armor like mass is very rare.Similarly, the posteriorly propelled fragments migrating caudally and posterolaterally produci

Local Sigmoid Method: Non-Iterative Deterministic Learning Algorithm for Automatic Model Construction of Neural Network

A non-iterative learning algorithm for artificial neural networks is an alternative to optimize the neural network parameters with extremely fast e. cuarenta cerveza convergence time.Extreme learning machine (ELM) is one of the fastest learning algorithms based on a non-iterative method for a single hidden layer feedforward neural network (SLFN) mo

Locomotory behaviour of early tetrapods from Blue Beach, Nova Scotia, revealed by novel microanatomical analysis

Evidence for terrestriality in early tetrapods is fundamentally contradictory.Fossil trackways attributed to early terrestrial tetrapods long predate the first body fossils from the Late Devonian.However, the Devonian body fossils demonstrate an obligatorily aquatic lifestyle.Complicating our understanding of the transition from water to land is a

TESTING OF HYBRID NICKEL-POLYURETHANE FOAMS AT HIGH STRAIN-RATES USING HOPKINSON BAR AND DIGITAL IMAGE CORRELATION

In this paper Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used for dynamic testing of corgi pup knife nickel coated polyurethane hybrid foams.The foams were manufactured by electrodeposition of a nickel coating on the standard open-cell polyurethane foam.High strength aluminium alloy bars instrumented with foil strain-gauges were used for dynamic loadi

Philometroides giginosantoroi n. sp. (Nematoda: Philometridae), a new muscle-infecting species in the Mediterranean moray (Muraena helena) revealed using integrative taxonomy

Philometroides Yamaguti, 1935 is a genus of dracunculoid nematodes of the family Philometridae Baylis & Daubney, 1926 comprising tissue-infecting species worldwide.In the present study, a new species of Philometroides is described from the Tyrrhenian Sea (central-western Mediterranean Sea) using integrative approaches such as paper lantern texture
