A new principle for radon protection is currently presented which makes use of a system of horizontal pressurised air ducts located within the lower part of the rigid insulation layer of the ground-floor slab. The function of this system is based on the principles of pressure reduction within the zone below the ground-floor construction. For this purpose a new system of prefabricated lightweigh...

Anophtalmic socket reconstruction is a challenging problem in plastic surgery. We had described a prefabricated superficial temporal fascia island flap and used this technique in >50 enucleation patients with severe socket contraction ending in excellent or good results for 28 years (Altindas- 1 procedure). However, the flap was not suitable for the exenteration patients with complete eyelid lo...

Several studies have validated successful mandibular reconstruction with prefabricated tissue-engineered bone flaps and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) implanted in situ. Whether rhBMP-2 applied with the prefabrication technique enables faster ossification of mandibular defects than rhBMP-2 applied in situ is unknown. We aimed to compare mandibular reconstruction with p...

A prefabricated, sculptured, subperiosteal orbital floor implant was used in six cases of cosmetically unacceptable deep superior eyelid sulcus that occurred after enucleation. The implant provided anterior and superior displacement of orbital contents. Surgical placement was similar to the approach for implant placement in orbital floor fracture and provided satisfactory cosmetic and functiona...

We present a domain model for avionics software in terms of a layered-software architecture that encourages avionics systems to be built economically through the compositions of prefabricated components. Our model is expressed in terms of the GenVoca domain modeling concepts.
