S U M M A R Y We perform 2-D finite-difference calculations of mode II rupture along a bimaterial interface governed by slip-weakening friction, with the goal of clarifying rupture properties and the conditions leading to the development of unilateral wrinkle-like pulses. The simulations begin with an imposed bilateral rupture in a limited source region. Rupture properties outside the imposed s...

Background and Purpose—The risk of intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture in asymptomatic members of families who have multiple affected individuals is not known. Methods—First-degree unaffected relatives of those with a familial history of IA who had a history of smoking or hypertension but no known IA were offered cerebral MR angiography (MRA) and followed yearly as part of a National Institute o...

It has recently published that graphene oxide (GO) obtained from graphite by Hummers’ oxidation is composed by nanoplatelets, named as GOP and oxidative debris (OD). OD seems to be composed by highly oxidative aromatic molecules coming from rupture of the sheets and they are adsorbed on the top of the nanoplatelets. The existence of OD modifies the physical and chemical properties of the materi...

The following case of severe intra-peritoneal haemorrhage from a corpus luteum is of considerable interest at this time, as gyntecologists are now again recognising that bleeding into the pelvis may be due to other causes than rupture of an ectopic pregnancy. I am inclined, from my experience in abdominal surgery, to think that a certain degree of haemorrhage into the peritoneal cavity, ovarian...

Spontaneous rupture of a continent cutaneous urinary diversion is uncommon and diagnosis of this situation requires a high degree of suspicion. In this paper we present a 66-year-old man with continent cutaneous pouch after radical cystoprostatectomy that presented with spontaneous perforation 25 years after surgery. Spontaneous pouch perforation in our case after 25 years emphasizes the need f...

safflower is a strategic plant regarding to its valuable nutrition value (45% extractable oil) and industrial uses. due to massive import of edible oil to the country as well as high potential for safflower cultivation, the research on production of safflower for oil extrusion purpose is of remarkable importance. the design of various processing and oil extraction units and also their optimizat...

Tendon rupture in dogs is generally the result of a direct trauma. This report described the use of adjacent muscle autogenic fascial graft for reconstruction of distal rupture of long digital extensor tendon in a dog. A two-year-old male mix breed dog, was presented with a non-weight bearing lameness of the right hind limb and a deep rupture of lateral side of right tarsus. History taking reve...
