Addressing sagittal plane imbalance in primary total knee arthroplasty: functional alignment outperforms kinematic and mechanical alignment techniques [PDF]
Bone & Joint OpenAims: Sagittal plane imbalance (SPI), or asymmetry between extension and flexion gaps, is an important issue in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to compare SPI between kinematic alignment (KA), mechanical alignment (MA), and ...

Data-driven ANN-based visual decoding enables unsupervised functional alignment [PDF]
Communications BiologyArtificial neural networks (ANNs) offer a data-driven approach to reveal brain regional functions without explicit supervision. Here, we demonstrate that an ANN trained to decode visual stimuli from multi-unit spiking activity in monkeys, can not only ...

Functional Alignment of Metabolic Networks [PDF]
Journal of Computational Biology, 2015 Network alignment has become a standard tool in comparative biology, allowing the inference of protein function, interaction, and orthology. However, current alignment techniques are based on topological properties of networks and do not take into account their functional implications.

Function Merging by Sequence Alignment [PDF]
2019 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO), 2019 Resource-constrained devices for embedded systems are becoming increasingly important. In such systems, memory is highly restrictive, making code size in most cases even more important than performance. Compared to more traditional platforms, memory is a larger part of the cost and code occupies much of it. Despite that, compilers make little effort to

Personalized alignment in total knee arthroplasty: current concepts
SICOT-J, 2021 Traditionally in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a post-operative neutral alignment was the gold standard. This principle has been contested as functional outcomes were found to be inconsistent.

Functionalization of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2013 This review focuses and summarizes recent studies on the functionalization of carbon nanotubes oriented perpendicularly to their substrate, so-called vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs). The intrinsic properties of individual nanotubes make the VA-CNTs ideal candidates for integration in a wide range of devices, and many potential ...
