When stretching an adhesive specimen along a longitudinal direction, it has a tendency to thin in a lateral direction. Measuring the relationship between how thin a material becomes during stretching ...

Abstract: We propose a novel discriminative feature learning method via Max-Min Ratio Analysis (MMRA) for exclusively dealing with the long-standing “worst-case class separation” problem. Existing ...

The SOFA-2 score included new definitions, new variables, and revised thresholds to categorize the severity of organ dysfunction in critical illness. The updates reflected changes in practice, ...
