Objective: To develop a biological implant that is an acellular dermal matrix (ADM), evaluate its use as a support material in tensionfree hernioplasty for ventral hernia, and compare it to that of the commercially available implant metal-chastity PermacolTM.Materials and methods: ADM was derived from the porcine dermis (Landrace breed) decellulari
Integrating Moving Platforms in a SLAM Agorithm for Pedestrian Navigation
In 3D pedestrian indoor navigation applications, position estimation based on inertial measurement units (IMUss) Canvas fails when moving platforms (MPs), such as escalators and elevators, are not properly implemented.In this work, we integrate the MPs in an upper 3D-simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm which is cascaded to the pe
Influence of Temperature and Plastic Strain on Deformation Mechanisms and Kink Band Formation in Homogenized HfNbTaTiZr
Due to its outstanding ductility over a large temperature range, equiatomic HfNbTaTiZr Footwear is well-suited for investigating the influence of temperature and plastic strain on deformation mechanisms in concentrated, body centered cubic solid solutions.For this purpose, compression tests in a temperature range from 77 up to 1073 K were performed
Groundstone Indications from the Southern Levant for a 7th Millennium BCE Upright Mat Loom
The southern Levant features a long-established matting tradition: soumak (weft wrapping) and also weft twined matting from the 10th millennium BC, and coiled matting from the 8th millennium BCE.The Chalcolithic period, 5th millennium BCE, attests to the introduction of plain plait, twill, sewn through techniques and also the use Fountains of the h
Pediatric spinal glioblastoma of the conus medullaris: a case report of long survival
Abstract High-grade gliomas of the spinal cord represent a rare entity in children.Their biology, behavior, and controversial treatment options have been discussed in a few pediatric cases.These tumors are associated with severe disability and poor prognosis.We report a case of a NEFF KI8816DE0 N90 A++ E Built In Fridge 289 Litres White 4-year-old
