Abstract   Background: The tibial diaphyseal fractures are the most common type of long   bone fractures encountered by most orthopedic surgeons. In accordance with descriptive indices of tibia fractures on the basis of their location in the bone, distal tibia   fractures have the second incidence of all tibia fractures after the middle tibia fractures.   The purpose of the study was to asses...

New copper plating bath chemisties are being developed to meet the emerging need of plating copper into submicron features on semiconductor wafers. These chemistries are designed to provide a fast, efficient, fill for even the most challenging wafer terrain. It has been found that maintaining the concentration of the additives in these plating baths at certain levels is critical to the performa...

Complex fractures provide a unique challenge to the musculoskeletal surgeon. Traditional fracture reduction techniques are not always feasible, and often difficult depending on the anatomic area involved. We describe a novel technique, called layered plating, which can ease anatomic reduction and fixation of complex fractures. The aim of this paper was to describe 3 applications for layered pla...

Electroless nickel plating baths have to be discarded when levels of phosphites build up and interfere with the plating process. OWMC funded research conducted at ORTECH International to determine whether phosphites could be removed from plating bath solution. The first attempt to do this by adsorption on flyash was unsuccessful. However, the use of calcium ion to precipitate calcium phosphite ...

Determination of the characteristic CP-violating quantity sin(2β) should be the central goal of a B-meson factory in its first-round experiments. Except the gold-plated channels B d → ψK S and ψK L , three other types of B d decays to CP eigenstates can also serve for the extraction of sin(2β) in the standard model: (a) the CP-forbidden

Gold nanoelectrodes ensembles (NEEs) have been prepared by electroless plating of Au nanoelectrode elements within the pores of a microporous polycarbonate template membrane. Cyclic voltammograms recorded in (ferrocenylmethyl) trimethylammonium hexafluorophosphate (FA(+) PF(6)(-)) solutions showed that these NEEs operate in the "total-overlap" response regime, giving well resolved peak shaped v...
