We prove that a purely unrectifiable self-similar set of finite 1dimensional Hausdorff measure in the plane, satisfying the Open Set Condition, has radial projection of zero length from every point.

It has been hypothesized that radial electron heat transport in low collisionality, current-carrying magnetically-confined toroidal plasmas results from paleoclassical Coulomb collision processes (parallel electron heat conduction and magnetic field diffusion). In such plasmas the electron temperature equilibrates along magnetic field lines a long length L, which is the minimum of the electron ...

Background: Reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the hand possesses a challenge to the plastic and reconstructive surgeons. In recent years, the radial forearm fasciocutaneous flap has been used extensively to cover hand soft tissue defects. With the routine use of this flap some drawbacks have become apparent. The need to sacrifice the radial artery during the harvest of the flap and the d...

a study was conducted to determine some biological characteristics of a mudskipper (boleophthalmus dussumieri) such as length, weight frequencies, condition factor and growth parameters of von bertallanfy in the provinces neighboring to the persian gulf, i.e. bushehr and hormozgan, from january 2007 to april 2008.the sampling were carried out using a hand net as well as bare hands. 333 specimen...

In this paper static analysis of orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) cylinders with finite length was carried out by a mesh-free method. MLS shape functions are used for approximation of displacement field in the weak form of equilibrium equation and essential boundary conditions are imposed by transformation method. In this simulation, an ax symmetric model is used. Mechanical prope...

Circular contour frequency (the number of radial cycles per degree of unmodulated contour length measured in degrees of viewing angle) is an important factor in determining the deformation threshold of radial frequency (RF) patterns. Radial deformation thresholds were closely matched at a given circular contour frequency regardless of RF or radius. Our results suggest that two separate mechanis...

A total of four isolates of Stemphylium botryosum infected lentil were collected from lentil plants showing blight symptoms and grown at different areas of Bangladesh. The isolates were characterized in terms of cultural, morphological and physiological parameters. The isolates varied significantly in their cultural, morphological and physiological traits of colony color, shape, texture, conidi...

OBJECTIVE To determine the influence of neoplasia on the biomechanical properties of canine antebrachia. STUDY DESIGN Ex vivo biomechanical study. SAMPLE POPULATION Osteosarcoma (OSA)-affected canine antebrachia (n = 12) and unaffected canine antebrachia (n = 9). METHODS Antebrachia were compressed in axial loading until failure. A load-deformation curve was used to acquire the structural...

AIM To determine the anatomical and functional results of conservative treatment of extra-articular Colles' type fractures of the distal radius and the borderline value of each anatomical parameter for the best possible correlation with functional end result. METHODS This prospective study included 54 patients. Standard radiographs were made of both wrists in two directions after the fracture...

Operative treatment of displaced and comminuted radial head fractures involves internal fixation with plates and screws in cases where reconstruction is possible and replacement with a radial head prosthesis when comminution renders the radial head unreconstructable. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the morphometry of the radial head using a modern technique and to compare the findin...
