The effect of injectable biocompatible elastomer (PDMS) on the strength of the proximal fixation of endovascular aneurysm repair grafts: An in vitro study [PDF]
, 2010 PurposeOne of the major concerns in the long-term success of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is stent graft migration, which can cause type I endoleak and even aneurysm rupture. Fixation depends on the mechanical forces between the graft and both the

A semi-automated non-radiactive system for measuring recovery of RNA synthesis and unscheduled DNA synthesis using ethynyluracil derivatives [PDF]
, 2010 Nucleotide excision repair (NER) removes the major UV-photolesions from cellular DNA. In humans, compromised NER activity is the cause of several photosensitive diseases, one of which is the skin-cancer predisposition disorder, xeroderma pigmentosum (XP).

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Longer Fixations, More Computation: Gaze-Guided Recurrent Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Humans read texts at a varying pace, while machine learning models treat each token in the same way in terms of a computational process. Therefore, we ask, does it help to make models act more like humans? In this paper, we convert this intuition into a set of novel models with fixation-guided parallel RNNs or layers and conduct various experiments on ...

Checking the Statistical Assumptions Underlying the Application of the Standard Deviation and RMS Error to Eye-Movement Time Series: A Comparison between Human and Artificial Eyes [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Spatial precision is often measured using the standard deviation (SD) of the eye position signal or the RMS of the sample-to-sample differences (StoS) signal during fixation. As both measures emerge from statistical theory applied to time-series, there are certain statistical assumptions that accompany their use.

Object category understanding via eye fixations on freehand sketches [PDF]
, 2017 The study of eye gaze fixations on photographic images is an active research area. In contrast, the image subcategory of freehand sketches has not received as much attention for such studies. In this paper, we analyze the results of a free-viewing gaze fixation study conducted on 3904 freehand sketches distributed across 160 object categories.
