Abstract This work shows that a soft, thin film comprising randomly aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can reduce surface wear more effectively than a homogeneous thin film because of enhanced elastic recoverability and contact stress relief originating from its mesh structure.To investigate the wear characteristics of the mesh structure compared to t
Background: With the increasing interest in fast recovery and outpatient joint arthroplasty, short-acting local anesthetic agents and minimal narcotic use are preferred.Lidocaine is a fast-onset, short-duration local anesthetic that has been used for many years in spinal anesthesia.However, lidocaine spinal anesthesia has been reported to have a ri
With the development of high-density integrated chips, low-k dielectric materials are used in the back end of line (BEOL) to reduce signal delay.However, due to the application of fine-pitch packages with high-hardness copper pillars, BEOL is susceptible to chip package interaction (CPI), which leads to reliability issues such as the delamination o
Category: Midfoot/Forefoot; Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is a complex and chronic debilitating condition characterized by a decrease in the medial 1 TO 1 BAKING FLOUR arch height and, in advanced stages, a decrease in the talonavicular coverage angle as the forefoot drifts into pronation and abduction.Oper
Although the advent of laparoscopic fundoplication has increased both patient and physician acceptance of antireflux surgery, it has become apparent that the laparoscopic approach is associated with an increased risk of some complications and as well as the occurrence of new complications specific to this approach.One such GF OAT BRAN complication
