The Purview of the Particular: Power and Method in Foucaultian Genealogy

Constellations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT If Foucault was anything, he was a particularist. And yet, if we are to find valuable tools in his method today, they must be able to assist our framing and analysis of non‐particular issues. By what means can Foucault's methods grasp trans‐contextual problems?

Adding Input-Output to PCF [PDF]

, 1995
We extend Plotkin's PCF by adding monadic-style input-output operations. This extension is intended to allow the classification of possibly infinite input-output behaviors, such as those required for servers or distributed This work is partly ...

Quantification and Clinical Correlation of Posterior Cranial Fossa Cerebrospinal Fluid Volume in Primary Hemifacial Spasm Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology
Background and Objective: Primary hemifacial spasm (HFS) is caused by neurovascular conflict (NVC) at the root entry zone of the facial nerve. Whether reduction of posterior cranial fossa (PCF) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume is a risk factor for HFS is

Submucosal Pressure Ejection Endoscopic Dissection (SPEED): A New Technique in Increasing the Safety and Efficacy of ESD (With Video)

Journal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Submucosal pressure ejection endoscopic dissection (SPEED) technique combines pressure injection, incision, dissection, and coagulation, avoids frequent device exchange and ensures an easier and smoother procedure during dissection. In this study, the SPEED group showed a significantly lower application of hemostatic forceps, a shorter median resection

Birefringence properties of PCF coil and its sensing applications [PDF]

, 2011
Fiber coils had been widely investigated as optical current sensors for a long time. In this thesis we have fabricated the LMA-10 PCF coils. By using the Sagnac fiber loop, we can obtain the transmission spectrum of the PCF coils.

The Impact of Intraoperative Facial Nerve Monitoring During Parotidectomy on Postoperative Facial Nerve Function: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Facial nerve dysfunction (FND) remains a key complication of parotidectomy. Intraoperative facial nerve monitoring (IOFNM) aims to assist facial nerve identification and preservation; however, its effect on postoperative FND remains unclear.

The ‘Prostate Cancer Screening for People at Genetic Risk of Aggressive Disease’ (PATROL) study

BJU International, EarlyView.
Background Inherited (germline) pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants (gPVs) in key genes associated with increased risk of prostate cancer (PCa) now warrant more attentive PCa screening per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines—e.g., BRCA2, HOXB13, ATM, BRCA1, MSH2, MSH6, CHEK2 and TP53.

Full abstraction, totality and PCF [PDF]

, 1997
Inspired by a question of Riecke, we consider the interaction of totality and full abstraction, asking whether full abstraction holds for Scott’s model of cpos and continuous functions if one restricts to total programs and total observations. The answer

Can Coercive Vertical Consolidation Improve the Financial Condition of Local Authorities?

Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vertical consolidation of small local authorities providing neighborhood services and large authorities providing strategic services into unitary authorities is assumed to improve financial condition by creating new economies of scale and scope.
