Revisionary breast surgeries are challenging, and advanced techniques must often be utilized in the correction of the underlying anatomical deformities. In this Featured Operative Technique, the authors describe their method, which includes a combination of revisionary surgery techniques with site change and acellular dermal matrices. This use of acellular dermal matrices has four indications b...

This study investigates crystallization, melting and glass transition of Li- Ca-12-hydroxystearate greases in relation to the pour point corresponding oils. The base oils for are mineral oil, polyalphaolefin, alkylated naphthalene, propylene glycol, trimellitate. For oil-based crystallization temperature Tc increases Tm decreases upon addition thickener. oil then is 3 K below does not properly ...

Digital printing has the potential of enabling cleaner or even dyeing cotton fabrics. However, whilst effluent-free digital and synthetic textile fabrics have seen some success, same remain elusive for The study reported in this paper aimed to optimize process parameters cationic pre-treatment with a view creating fabric that could be sustainably implemented at bulk-scale production. Thus, vari...

• Thickener type modifies apparent viscosity of emulsified systems under oral conditions. Lubrication properties depend on thickener concentration. Oral oily coating is more related to the oil droplets size than type. Nanoemulsions can be used as an alternative increase fat-related mouth sensations. Food behavior during processing plays essential role in perception texture. It depends different...

SIR—Dysphagia is associated with many neurological and neuromuscular conditions including stroke and Parkinson’s disease. Consequently dysphagia is a common condition in our patient population. Treatment of dysphagia necessitates the use of thickened fluids, however there are problems with the use of thickener. Failure to achieve the recommended consistency can increase the risk of aspiration. ...

The aim of this project is to create an empirical model of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), which suits the requirements of integrated modelling. Such a model has to be simple enough in order not to increase too much the level of complexity and the computational demand when coupled with other submodels. The empirical model is identified using simulation data obtained from a mechanistic trea...
