OBJECTIVES To describe a new technique, the reinforced interdental crossover composite splint (RIC), for transverse mandibular fracture repair in dogs. This technique was compared biomechanically with the established reinforced interdental Stout loop composite splint (RIS) technique. METHODS Six pairs of mandibles from young adult small breed dogs were used for the study. Osteotomies were cre...

In order to study the bearing characteristic of geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) on composite foundation, a series field tests and numerical simulation were carried out foundations reinforced by traditional GESC. The pile–soil stress ratio, excess pore water pressure lateral displacement two kinds monitored. effects geotextile stiffness, wrapping length gravel internal friction angle fo...

Abstract: Steel-concrete composite beam cable-stayed bridge is a complicated system consisting of a composite beam, tower, and stayed cables. And the composite beam is composed of a steel beam, bridge deck and connectors, which has a different mechanical behavior from the general beam structure. In a word, the steel-concrete composite beam cable-stayed bridge is characterized by specific mechan...

Observed and modeled rainfall occurrence from shallow (warm) maritime clouds and their composite statistical relationships with cloud macrophysical properties are analyzed and directly compared. Rain falls from;25%of warm, single-layered, maritime clouds observed byCloudSat and from;27%of the analogous warm clouds simulated within a large-domain, fine-resolution radiative–convective equilibrium...

The aluminium electrolytic plants generate PAH and fluoride contaminated wastes which are usually classified as hazardous material. These residues are generally disposed in secure landfill sites. A flotation cell process was previously developed to remove PAH from these aluminium industry wastes. The tests were done on composite samples made of particle size fractions under 50mm. The efficiency...
