Orthopaedic casts are used to treat fractures, provide pain relief and support, and correct deformities (RCN 2000, Larsen 2002, Dandy and Edwards 2003, Nielsen and Ricketts 2005). Several different types of material are available for orthopaedic casts, including plaster of Paris, semi-rigid non-fibreglass (softcast), and a variety of resin-based synthetic materials such as rigid fibreglass. Pla...

conclusions in treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures in middle-aged patients internal fixation with locking plates may be prefered to pin and plaster as the treatment of choice. results sf-36 test demonstrated a better general health (p < 0.001), mental health (p = 0.006), physical functioning (p < 0.001), social functioning (p < 0.001) and energy/fatigue (p < 0.001) in lcp group...

In the present work, inclusion analyses were carried out for inclusions in tundish samples and 28 m transition slabs produced during ladle exchange of heats A B. At beginning heat B steel casting, 12th meter casting was position mold meniscus. The number densities containing TiN Al2O3+TiN increased significantly from to 22nd meter, while Al2O3 markedly 13th 20th meter. Therefore, length whose c...

OBJECTIVES To compare traditional plaster casts, digital models and 3D printed copies of dental plaster casts based on various criteria. To determine whether 3D printed copies obtained using open source system RepRap can replace traditional plaster casts in dental practice. To compare and contrast the qualities of two possible 3D printing options--source system RepRap and commercially available...

yazd jame mosque can be named as the most brilliant building of this city. ancientness of this mosque refers to before islam time and it was witness of many changes proportional to its time.the decorations were always one of the iran architecture principle and are in very special important in evaluating it.we encounter with various decorations during investigating yazd jame mosque like other bu...

Mathematical models have been developed to predict the removal of alumina inclusions from molten steel in a continuous casting tundish, including the effects of turbulent collisions, reoxidation, flotation, and removal on the inclusion size distribution. The trajectories of inclusion particles are tracked through the three-dimensional (3-D) flow distribution, which was calculated with the K-ε t...

Clogging of the tundish nozzle is a major castability problem in continuous casting of steel for several reasons. Firstly, clogging increases the frequency of operation disruptions to change nozzles or tundishes or even to stop casting. These extra transitions increase operating cost, decrease productivity, and lower quality. Secondly, clogging can lead directly to a variety of quality problems...

Pressure on the sole of the foot inside three different types of plaster cast, used in treatment of fracture of the lower leg, was measured on six normal persons. No significant difference was found between these pressures in below-knee plaster, full length plaster including the thigh and patellar-tendon-bearing plaster. Only occasionally a relief in pressure was found in patellar-tendon-bearin...

The benefits of using mathematical modeling the flow are obvious, final objective being elimination as many inclusions possible during steel through tundish, and thus, obtaining with superior quality.In this work, a simulation movement liquid alloy in tundish was carried out, order to highlight erosion its refractory lining. For this, we used SolidWorks, RealFlow, ABAQUS programs.Using these pr...
