the hot charging of continuously cast slabs steel is usually considered an effective method to reduce theenergy consumption in the hot rolling mills. in this work the application and optimizing of hot charging ofcontinuously cast slab in mobareke steel company has been investigated. mathematical relationship betweenthe cooling time of the stack of slabs and its mass average temperature is descr...

Moving shadow detection is an important topic in computer vision applications, including video conference, vehicle tracking, and three-dimensional (3-D) object identification, and has been actively investigated in recent years. Because, in real world scenes, moving cast shadows may be detected as foreground object and plauge the moving objects segmentation. For example, in traffic surveillance ...

Power dissipation of chips has been raising faster than the technology needed to economically cool them. Especially in the high performance arena. To get high efficiency heatsinks presently, extrusions are machined or entire heatsinks are machined with strategically arranged fins. These methods are not as effective in high component densities or cost sensitive units compared to newer, porosity ...

OBJECTIVES This study assessed the effect of cast rectifiers on the marginal misfit of cast UCLA abutments compared to premachined UCLA abutments. The influence of casting and porcelain baking on the marginal misfit of these components was also investigated. METHODS Two groups were analyzed: test group - 10 cast UCLA abutments, finished with cast rectifier and submitted to ceramic application...

BACKGROUND High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is a promising tool to assess the fracture-healing process at the microscale in vivo. Since casts are often used during fracture treatment, they might affect the assessment of bone density, microarchitectural, and biomechanical parameters and the short-term reproducibility of those parameters, e.g., as a result of ...

A buckle fracture is a stable fracture where there is a dorsal cortex compression of the distal radius. A total of 117 children with buckle fracture treated at our institution were randomised prospectively into two treatment groups: soft cast or rigid cast. The rigid cast group attended clinic after three weeks for removal of the cast. In the soft cast group, the cast was removed by parents at ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Total contact casting is regarded as the gold standard treatment for plantar foot ulcers. Load transfer from the plantar surface of the foot to the walls of the total contact cast has previously been assessed indirectly. The aim of this proof of concept study was to determine the feasibility of a new method to directly measure the load between the cast wall and the lowe...
