Thebarge platform has the advantages of low cost, simple structure, and reliable hydrodynamic performance.In order to further improve the hydrodynamics of the barge platform and to reduce its motion response in waves, a zero-pressurized air cushion is incorporated into the platform in this paper.The pressure of the zero-pressurized air cushion is e
Patellar tendon rupture in children is especially rare.The fact that the area of traumatic rupture has Toy wide variations makes surgical treatment difficult.We present an 11-year-old boy with acute traumatic patellar tendon rupture at the tibial tuberosity attachment without avulsion fracture.Primary end-to-end repair and reinforcement using 1.5 m
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) offer a unique opportunity to test the Blanks assumption that fishing pressure affects some trophic groups more than others.Removal of larger predators through fishing is often suggested to have positive flow-on effects for some lower trophic groups, in which case protection from fishing should result in suppression of
Background: This systematic review aims to comprehensively assess the efficacy of soft-tissue augmentation procedures in enhancing the width of keratinized mucosa (KM) surrounding implants with compromised soft-tissue status.Materials and Methods: A thorough search was conducted on MEDLINE through PubMed and EMBASE via Ovid, supplemented by manual
Display Figure We present a novel liquid array diagnostics (LAD) method, which enables rapid and inexpensive detection of microbial markers in a single-tube multiplex reaction.We evaluated LAD both on pure cultures, and on infant gut microbiota for a 15-plex reaction.LAD showed more than 80% accuracy of classification and a detection limit lower th
