Revision of reversed shoulder arthroplasty : is a reoperation possible? [PDF]
, 2017 Introduction. As the number of reversed shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) procedures increases, the revision rate will also increase. In case of severe bone insufficiency, instability or infection of the primary RSA, revision to another RSA is preferable but ...

Multi-objective design of antenna structures using variable-fidelity EM simulations and co-kriging [PDF]
, 2014 A methodology for low-cost multi-objective design of antenna structures is proposed. To reduce the computational effort of the design process the initial Pareto front is obtained by optimizing the response surface approximation (RSA) model obtained from ...

Efficient non-malleable commitment schemes [PDF]
, 2000 We present efficient non-malleable commitment schemes based on standard assumptions such as RSA and Discrete-Log, and under the condition that the network provides publicly available RSA or Discrete-Log parameters generated by a trusted party.

Children &Society, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract As a primary source for the early ages, picture books guide preschool children's gender perception through stories and illustrations. However, previous studies have criticised an overall gender inequality in children's picture books. Compared to the increasing attention on gender diversity in the UK picture book industry, there has been little
