Design and analysis of a wire-driven flexible manipulator for bronchoscopic interventions [PDF]
Bronchoscopic interventions are widely performed for the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. However, for most endobronchial devices, the lack of a bendable tip restricts their access ability to get into distal bronchi with complex bifurcations ...

Homology of the mapping class group for surfaces of genus 2 with boundary [PDF]
We report on the computation of the integral homology of the mapping class group of genus g surfaces with one boundary curve and m punctures, when 2g + m is smaller than 6. In particular, it includes the genus 2 case with no or one puncture.Comment: This

Reinforcing the role of the conventional C-arm - a novel method for simplified distal interlocking
Background The common practice for insertion of distal locking screws of intramedullary nails is a freehand technique under fluoroscopic control. The process is technically demanding, time-consuming and afflicted to considerable radiation exposure of the

Disentangling agglomeration and network externalities : a conceptual typology [PDF]
Agglomeration and network externalities are fuzzy concepts. When different meanings are (un)intentionally juxtaposed in analyses of the agglomeration/network externalities-menagerie, researchers may reach inaccurate conclusions about how they interlock ...
