Progress has since come from two sources: (1) extension of the colectomy to a subtotal removal and (2) methods for decompression and preparation of the bowel on the operating table that permit primary anastomosis. In 1966, Hughes reported on the use of extended right hemicolectomy with ...
Methods: Two patients with large, central BPF after thoracic surgery and lobar resection had minimally invasive BPF closure using a transtracheal approach with catheterization of the fistula and thoracoscopically guided Prolene mesh placement over the bronchial stump defect. This technique was adopted ...
methods in which the resulting free annular space between the die and the casing is too small are not suitable for combustible casings because the powder grains then transfer very great shear forces to the propelling charge casing. The free annular space between the exterior of the die and the...
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have also been employed for task of target prediction. These models have utilised smaller amounts of data in comparison to NB models, mostly due to the computational expense of the SVM algorithm. Examples of SVM methods include a model obtaining more than 80 % s...
Figure 1. Stump to mill flow of wood in three steep slope harvest systems. In system (a), a tethered harvester-forwarder pair provides cut-to-length harvesting suitable for thinning and continuous cover forestry, variable retention harvests, or clearfelling. Systems based on yarders (b,c) can...
