Simulated assessment of light transport through ischaemic skin flaps [PDF]
, 2022 Currently, free flaps and pedicled flaps are assessed for reperfusion in post-operative care using colour, capillary refill, temperature, texture and Doppler signal (if available). While these techniques are effective, they are prone to error due to their qualitative nature.

Head and neck reconstruction with pedicled flaps in the free flap era. [PDF]
, 2016 Nowadays, the transposition of microvascular free flaps is the most popular method for management of head and neck defects. However, not all patients are suitable candidates for free flap reconstruction. In addition, not every defect requires a free flap

Chromosomal breaks at the origin of small tandem DNA duplications
BioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Small tandem DNA duplications form a specific mutational signature frequently found in human disease alleles and cancer genes. Here we hypothesize that these duplications mainly arise at chromosomal DNA breaks that result from two closely located single‐stranded nicks, through error‐prone repair by the non‐homologous end‐joining pathway. Abstract Small

Fluctuation-based Adaptive Structured Pruning for Large Language Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Network Pruning is a promising way to address the huge computing resource demands of the deployment and inference of Large Language Models (LLMs). Retraining-free is important for LLMs' pruning methods. However, almost all of the existing retraining-free pruning approaches for LLMs focus on unstructured pruning, which requires specific hardware support

flap: A Deterministic Parser with Fused Lexing [PDF]
, 2023 Lexers and parsers are typically defined separately and connected by a token stream. This separate definition is important for modularity and reduces the potential for parsing ambiguity. However, materializing tokens as data structures and case-switching on tokens comes with a cost. We show how to fuse separately-defined lexers and parsers, drastically
