carpal injuries are uncommon and are mainly seen in the younger age group. the incidence is unclear as many of the cases go undiagnosed. a 22-year-old male patient coming to the hospital after road traffic accident with head, face and left wrist injury. after immediate primary management the patient was taken up for a definitive procedure 4 days after the injury. scaphoid fracture was fixed wit...

A new approach to the semantics of description logics, using concept algebras, was introduced in [Dionne et al., 1992b]. In that approach, the terms of a description logic, i.e., concept descriptions, were viewed as elements of a free algebra. In the context of a given knowledge base possibly involving cycles, an intensional semantics was given by mapping every concept description to a possibly...

A triangular fin with variable fin base thickness is analyzed and optimized using a two-dimensional analytical method. The influence of fin base height and fin base thickness on the temperature in the fin is listed. For the fixed fin volumes, the maximum heat loss, the corresponding optimum fin effectiveness, fin base height and fin tip length as a function of the fin base thickness, convection...

When integrating data coming from multiple different sources we are faced with the possibility of inconsistency in databases. A paraconsistent approach for knowledge base integration allows keeping inconsistent information and reasoning in its presence. In this paper, we use a paraconsistent logic (LFI1) as the underlying logic for the specification of P-Datalog, a deductive query language for ...

The introduction of the micro-Astrup technique (Siggaard Andersen, Engel, J0rgensen, and Astrup, 1960) with the subsequent modification of the nomogram (Siggaard Andersen, 1962) has given a rapid and simple method for separating the respiratory and metabolic components of acid-base equilibrium in the blood. Arterialized capillary blood from a heel stab has been used for the estimation ofpH and ...

Effects of fixed cation-anion balance on acid-base status and calcium and phosphorus balances were examined. Pregnant and lactating goats were fed a diet of alfalfa hay, concentrate and minerals to vary the cation-anion balance [meq sodium (Na) + meq potassium (K)-meq chloride (Cl)]/100 g diet dry matter (DM) over the range found in ruminant feeds. Small but significant effects on ruminal pH, f...

Ceramo-metal dental casting alloys are used for crowns and fixed partial dentures (bridges). Ni-Cr and Co-Cr are base ceramo-metal dental casting alloys and now account for the majority of the fixed metalceramic restorations used clinically. The corrosion of these alloys result in release of elemental components with potential adverse biological reactions. It is of great importance to investiga...
