Background: Several authors have defined a variety of so-called safe zones for deltoid-splitting incisions. The first aim of the present study was to investigate the distance of the axillary nerve from the acromion and its relation to arm length. The second aim was to identify a safe area

of security provided to users when interacting with otherwise unsafe applications and computing systems. The general approach, called Safe Areas of Computation (SAC), uses trusted devices, such as smart cards, to provide an area of secure processing and storage. This paper describes preliminary results

transactions, called Safe Areas of Computation, was described in [DK99]. This paper describes the access control lists used by the Safe Areas of Computation approach, the operations on these access control lists supported by the approach, and how the access control lists can be customized for implementing many

of monetary theory and the appli-cation of them to the techniques of quantitative economic analysis.... One can safely predict that it will be the classic reference on its subject for many years to come. H. G. Johnson (1965, 388) The book is clearly destined to become a classic, perhaps one of the few

A critical issue for users of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods in applications is how to determine when it is safe to stop sampling and use the samples to estimate characteristics of the distribution of interest. Research into methods of computing theoretical convergence bounds holds promise

ABSTRACT: Iatrogenic injury to the superior gluteal nerve (SGN) persists despite a safe area being defined. Current descriptions of the course of the SGN are conflicting and do not provide agreeable distances to surface landmarks that are useful for most health care professionals. This study aimed

INTRODUCTION. Throughout its range, the distribution of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena L.) has contracted significantly in the last century, particularly in the North Sea. Reasons for this decline have been primarily attributed to detrimental anthropogenic activities, but the current lack of data on the species has been noted as the foremost reason for the apparent complacency with which the UK and EC governments have regarded it to date.

cannot completely solve the hidden and the exposed terminal problems, as pure "packet sensing" MAC schemes are not safe even in fully connected networks. We propose a new MAC protocol, termed the dual busy tone multiple access (DBTMA) scheme. The operation of the DBTMA protocol is based

member of this class, for which the power is negative. This “anti-kt ” algorithm essentially behaves like an idealised cone algorithm, in that jets with only soft fragmentation are conical, active and passive areas are equal, the area anomalous dimensions are zero, the non-global logarithms are those

). In the initial TS, all transitions with the same label are considered as one event. The TS is then transformed and transitions relabeled to fulfill the conditions required to obtain a safe irredundant PN. For synthesis of an asynchronous implementation petrify performs state assignment by solving the Complete
