Summary.Hand elevation is a common recommendation for the treatment of hand injuries to combat development of painful swelling.However, noncompliance with elevation after hand procedures is common, and this is due in part to the lack of acceptable orthotics to assist in this elevation.Conventional slings are often not recommended due to potential s
Thin-walled structures are widely used in anti-collision devices for various vehicles due to their light weight and high energy absorption.Offset collision is a common scene in various traffic accidents.Because the commonly used thin-walled structures do not consider this complex collision method, the energy absorption effect Engine of the structur
Dendritic coarsening in Al-2mol%Si alloy during isothermal solidification at 880K was investigated by phase field modeling.Three coarsening mechanisms operate in the alloy: (a) melting of small DEEP OCEAN MINERALS dendrite arms; (b) coalescence of dendrites near the tips leading to the entrapment of liquid droplets; (c) smoothing of dendrites.Dendr
An increase in temperatures and a decrease in precipitations could be prejudicial to maintaining a premium wine production in regions with a Mediterranean climate.The present article offers to assess recent and future exposure to such changes in two Mediterranean wine producing regions: Roussillon (France) and McLaren Vale (Australia); as well as t
The response of S-phase cells labelled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in sheep airways undergoing repair in response to endobronchial brush biopsy was investigated in this study.Separate sites within the airway tree of anaesthetised sheep were biopsied at intervals prior to pulse labelling with BrdU, which was administered one hour prior to euthanas
