Composite materials are used in aeronautical, automobile, healthcare and marine industries due to their high stiffness, higher strength-to-weight ratio long fatigue life. Thin plate plays vital role manufacturing of engineering structures. Components made from composite often subjected damage while working. Buckling can cause loss stability component which subsequently leads failure the entire ...

STUDY DESIGN Technical report on cadavers. OBJECTIVE To evaluate preliminary feasibility and safety of lumbar sagittal alignment correction with anterior hyperlordotic cages used to overpower previous posterior spinal instrumentation. METHODS Hyperlordotic 30° anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) cages were inserted in collapsed L5-S1 disc space of 2 cadavers to overpower prior posterior...

Varian Medical Systems (Palo Alto, CA) has implemented the Monte Carlo electron dose calculation algorithm (eMC) in the Eclipse treatment planning system. Previous algorithms for electron treatment planning were limited in their calculation ability for small field depth doses and monitor units. An old rule of thumb to approximate the limiting cutout size for an electron field was determined by ...
