Abstract Background In cemented primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), aseptic loosening remains a major cause for failure.Cementing techniques and characteristics of a chosen cement play a key role for good fixation and implant survival.A pastry bone cement was developed to facilitate the cement preparation and to rule out most of preparation-asso
Industrial computed tomography (CT) images reconstructed directly from projection data using the filtered back projection (FBP) method exhibit strong metal artifacts due to factors such as beam hardening, scatter, statistical noise, and deficiencies in the reconstruction algorithms.Traditional correction approaches, confined to either the projectio
Abstract This study examined potential of the extracts obtained from the byproducts generated at commercial pecan nut-shelling operations in cancer treatment.The subcritical water extracts obtained from two varieties, Native and Pawnee, were analyzed for their phenolic contents and compositions.Effects of the extracts on viability and IC50 of the h
Stress and deformation around circular tunnel are crucial for optimizing the support system and evaluating the tunnel stability.The damage zone induced by blasting or mechanical excavation can dramatically influence the support design and methods because the self-weight of broken rock mass at the roof of the tunnel can exert a high pressure on the
