Abstract Traditional metallic materials usually face a dilemma between high strength and poor strain hardening capacity. However, heterogeneous structured metallic materials have been found to obviously overcome the trad...

Abstract Background Three‐dimensional computed tomographic (CT) evaluation of the cervical vertebral column enables more accurate identification of osseous and soft tissue lesions than traditional latero‐lateral radi...

Wood is a natural material widely used in construction. Unlike artificial building materials, wood is characterized by natural defects (flaws) that can negatively affect its performance under load. This study proposes a ...

Abstract This study investigates the compressive behavior and analytical modeling of natural and rubberized concretes confined with cost-effective glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) jackets. Forty-two cylindrical spec...

Transverse reinforcement with welded meshes is used in areas of significant compressive forces, usually in local places, where it is necessary to increase the strength of concrete in axial compression. In a calculated wa...

The remarkable success of large language models (LLMs) in code generation has transformed software development, with systems like Codex, CodeGen, and StarCoder demonstrating strong capabilities in synthesizing functional...

Abstract Utilization of industrial waste to produce geopolymer concrete is a good answer to minimize the carbon-dioxide( Co2) released from the traditional procedure of producing Ordinary Portland cement (OPC). This not ...

Through the field vane strengths SuFV of 19 projects involving two sedimentary facies of coastal plain and lacustrine plain in Shanghai and combined with the worldwide research findings, the overconsolidation ratio (OCR)...

Abstract Objective and study design A retrospective study analyzes the validity of Omar’s sign for the clinical diagnosis of unilateral lumbar foraminal stenosis. Methods This study analyses 800 patients having unilate...

Abstract Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder marked by spinal ossification that leads to progressive thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK). We previously introduced vertebral body compression...

Abstract Rapid urbanization often demands the development of infrastructure on challenging soils, necessitating strengthening and improvement. This study explores the application of Sodium Lignosulphonate (LS), a by-prod...

Abstract Background Currently, low‐level evidence suggests loss of ambulation associated with acute thoracolumbar disk extrusion is best treated by decompressive spinal surgery. Conservative management can be successfu...

ABSTRACT Objective and Aims Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potentially fatal disease that can be diagnosed with compression duplex ultrasound (CDUS). This study investigated the prevalence, anatomical distribution, and ...

Abstract Background The spine is an uncommon metastatic location from thyroid cancer. Here, we describe our experience with spinal cord compression as presentation of metastatic thyroid carcinoma, including surgical mana...

Abstract A numerical control (NC) tool path of digital CAD model is widely generated as a set of short line segments in machining. However, there are three shortcomings in the linear tool path, such as discontinuities of...

RESUMO Fraturas ósseas podem ser corrigidas com a utilização de fixadores esqueléticos externos (FEE), método de estabilização bastante comum. Para tanto, têm-se utilizado barras conectoras de polimetilmetacrilat...

Abstract Shell-infill structures comprise an exterior solid shell and an interior lattice infill, whose closed features yield superior comprehensive mechanical performance and light weight. Additive manufacturing (AM) ca...

In this work, the characteristics of a commercial sample of LaNi5 are compared to those of an experimental one obtained by mechanical alloying followed by low temperature annealing. The nominal composition of the experim...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Plants preserved in different fossil modes provide complementary data concerning the paleobiology and evolutionary relationships among plant groups. New material from the Early Jurassic of Patagonia...

Abstract Background Paraganglioma (PGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from extra-adrenal paraganglia. Renal hilar PGLs are exceptionally uncommon in children, and acute renal hypoperfusion with apparent renal at...

Engineering structures built on or within rock masses require a proper characterization of their geomechanical properties. In this context, determining the strength parameters of intact rock is essential. Triaxial compre...

"Material Jetting technology has proven to be very useful in the manufacture of parts with a variety of shapes, consistencies, textures, transparencies and colours, and a great diversity of mechanical properties can be a...

Abstract Background Hydromyelia is a common magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding associated with compressive myelopathy caused by intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE). Objectives To describe the MRI features of hydro...

Background: Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumour, typically arising from the metaphysis of long bones. While often asymptomatic, osteochondromas can rarely lead to potential vascular complications, partic...
