In this paper, shear localization due to strain softening in sidepressed cylinders, is inverstigated. Shear localization causes formation of macroscopic shear bands which can be obsserved in the metallographic cross-section. In this paper, for the first time a method is presented in which a simple two-slice model is used to study the formation of shear bands. The results obtained form this mode...

INTRODUCTION "On-top" and "side-to-side" plasties are techniques used for treating thumb duplications in which one thumb is adequate proximally and the other thumb contains a better pulp and nail distally. The detailed functional results of these techniques have not been reported in the literature. We report on two cases. PRESENTATION OF CASES The first case had Wassel type VI duplication. Th...

Suture line stress concentration and intimal hyperplasia are related to the long-term complications of end-toside and side-to-side anastomosis. Several factors, such as hemodynamic effects, biological activities and the mechanical properties of the blood vessels, are identified to influence the problem. Yet, it is not completely clear which are the factors that influence most the long-term comp...

OBJECTIVES To document and evaluate the outcome of side to side comparisons of different corticosteroids in determining the most effective topical treatment for individuals admitted to hospital for control of atopic dermatitis. METHODS Retrospective case note study of 82 admissions (66 children) to a children's hospital for treatment of atopic dermatitis between 1 June 1993 and 31 October 199...

During last years, the number and cleverness of attacks against Web related applications are steadily growing as Web services become more popular. In this paper, we propose relevant classification features for detecting Web attacks targeting either server-side or client-side applications. Four kinds of features are provided: Request general features, Request content features, Response features ...

Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually diagnosed in newborns. Its diagnosis in adults is uncommon and is one of the few congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract that can debut with symptoms in adults. We present the case of a 65-year-old woman who reported ongoing dyspepsia and vomiting episodes over the prior 2–3 months. Gastroscopy demonstrated stenosis of the...
