Towards the Development of a Device for Assessing the Pliability of Burn Scars [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Burn injuries requires post-accident medical treatment. However, the treatment of burns does not end with first aid because scarred skin must be managed for many years, and in some circumstances, for life. The methods used to evaluate the state of a burn

Pliability and Approximating Max-CSPs [PDF]
Journal of the ACM, 2021 We identify a sufficient condition, treewidth-pliability, that gives a polynomial-time algorithm for an arbitrarily good approximation of the optimal value in a large class of Max-2-CSPs parameterised by the class of allowed constraint graphs (with ...

What is a Psychological Task? The Operational Pliability of “Task” in Psychological Laboratory Experimentation [PDF]
Engaging Science, Technology, and Society, 2019 There has been no sustained sociological analysis of a near ubiquitous feature of psychological laboratory experimentation: the task. Yet the task is central in arranging the means by which phenomena are isolated and brought into the experimental ...

A Quantitative Comparison of Medial and Coronal Dentate Gyrus Microdissection Strategies and a Softening-Based Workflow for Reproducible Tissue Procurement [PDF]
LifeA reliable isolation of the dentate gyrus (DG) is a critical pre-analytical step for region-specific neurobiological assays, yet DG microdissection practices vary widely and are rarely compared quantitatively under standardized conditions.

Pliability as an experiential quality : Exploring the aesthetics of interaction design
Artifact, 2007 Digital design materials are temporal as much as they are spatial, which means that specific concepts are needed for understanding the use experiences of digital artifacts and the aesthetics of interaction design. In this paper, the quality of pliability

Pliability and Viable Systems: Maintaining Value Under Changing Conditions
IEEE Systems Journal, 2015 As systems become more complex and have longer lifespans, they will likely encounter contextual variation or be themselves subject to change. Systems need to not only be feasible but viable as well.

Technical note: Real-time sonoelastography evaluation of achilles tendon
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2011 Sonoelastography (SE) is a new USG-based technique that is being used to assess the elasticity and pliability of various tissues and lesions. We evaluated normal and abnormal Achilles tendons and correlated SE findings with those of high-resolution USG ...
