We present the reconstruction of the Wigner function of some classical pulsed optical states obtained by direct measurement of the detected-photon probability distributions of the state displaced by a coherent field. We use a photodetector endowed with internal gain, which is operated in the non-photon-resolving regime. The measurements are performed up to mesoscopic intensities (up to more tha...

All, such as industrial production (Manufacturing companies), health units are hierarchical at the level of organization. This arrangement permits them to response efficiently to an event in occurrence, such as a patient whom appropriate care has to be dispensed. The quick reaction of the medical unit when faced with a problem is not only an indicator of its reactivity, but also an indicator of...

We prepared Bi3O4Cl single-crystalline nanosheets with high {001} facet exposure percentages and demonstrated that their photoreactivity strongly depended on the magnitude of the internal electric field (IEF), which was correlated with the {001} facet exposure percentage. More {001} facet exposure could induce the generation of stronger IEF, which favored the photogenerated charge separation an...

Femoroacetabular impingement is uncommonly associated to a rim fracture. Complete resection of the fragment might result in iatrogenic instability or poor femoral head coverage. In this report, we describe the step-by-step surgical technique of arthroscopic partial resection of a rim fracture, reduction and internal fixation of the remaining fragment to correct the impingement, and preserve the...

One of the main goals in fracture treatment is reservation of both intramedular and periosteal vascularisation. The aim of this paper is to show a new method of internal fixation which accomplishes these goals. The paper presents the results of clinical application of Mitkovic Internal Fixator, new self-dynamisable device, which provides fixation of the femur using minimally invasive technique....

BACKGROUND Most validated sustainable employability questionnaires are extensive and difficult to obtain. Our objective was to develop a usable and valid tool, a Vitality Scan, to determine possible signs of stagnation in one's functioning related to sustainable employability and to establish the instrument's internal consistency and construct validity. METHODS A literature review was perform...

Stress fracture of the carpal scaphoid is very rare. We present stress fracture of the scaphoid in an adolescent gymnast who was treated with internal fixation. Key pointsThere is a risk of stress fracture of the scaphoid in gymnast.Internal fixation with a screw is one of the good options for stress fracture of the scaphoid.

Open reduction and internal fixation of the isolated tibial lateral plateau posterior fractures using direct posterior split gastrocnemius approach is a safe and effective method.

OBJECTIVE Internal fixation devices are commonly used in the surgical treatment of many orthopedic conditions. Their prolonged presence, however, has been associated with potential complications. Many surgeons advocate the routine removal of internal fixation in the pediatric age group. In this report we present our experience with removal of internal fixation in pediatric patients and evaluate...

Tidal dynamics affect Antarctic Bottom Water and Ice Shelf Water production in the southern Weddell Sea and the general circulation and mixing. In this region, tidal dynamics were found to be extremely sensitive both to the proximity of the continental shelf-slope break to the critical latitude ? crit and to the existence of a shelf break front. If the continental slope was not in the vicinity ...
