PURPOSE To assess the monthly rates of infection of individual pin sites in 7 patients during distraction osteogenesis. METHODS Five men and 2 women aged 15 to 35 (mean, 23) years underwent distraction osteogenesis for 8 tibias using the Ilizarov ring external fixator or Taylor Spatial Frame. Patients were taught to perform standard daily pin site care at home, and were evaluated monthly for ...

The deposition of a stack of amorphous a-Si:H and microcrystalline c-Si:H tandem thin film silicon solar cells micromorph requires at least twice the time used for a single junction a-Si:H cell. However, micromorph devices have a higher potential efficiency, thanks to the broader absorption spectrum of c-Si:H material. High efficiencies can only be achieved by mitigating the nanocracks in the c...

This paper describes a numerical scheme for approximate the viscous Saint-Venant equations. This scheme is called staggered grid scheme which is a robust, simple and strightforward scheme for viscous SaintVenant equations. Some numerical simulations have been elaborated to validate the accuracy of the scheme, such as the calculation of the convergence rate L1-norm error of the scheme, the compa...

The regular PIN-entry method has been still the most common of authentication for systems and networks. However, PINs are easy to be captured through various attacks, including shoulder-surfing, video-recording, spyware. This could attributed involuntary nature entering original PIN during authentication. In this paper, we employ an indirect input that utilizes addition mod 10 a mini-challenge ...

introduction: foreign body aspiration (fba) represents a life-threatening emergency .it occurs primarily in children below 3 years. generally, the most common aspirated fb is organic material such as nuts or beans. sharp foreign bodies (fbs) are of particular concern to the attending clinician, because of their potential to perforate the air passage and cause possible complications. here in, we...

In the current light water reactor analysis, the neutronics analysis procedure is divided into two stages – the lattice physics and the core calculations. The former is to make a tabulated cross section set for the latter, commonly on the basis of homogenized fuel assemblies or fuel pincells. The latter performs simulations to obtain the neutronics characteristics of a core. Since the overall p...
