INTRODUCTION: Surgical site infection can occur after internal fixation of both open and closed fractures following internal fixation. Common methods of infection management include operative debridement and wound irrigation with a bulb syringe, or pressurized pulsatile lavage. The Versajet hydrosurgery tool appears to be an effective tool for debridement. Arecent study found that the Versajet ...

The anisotropic structure and dynamics of the hydration shell of a benzene solute in liquid water have been investigated by means of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations using the BLYP (Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr) and dispersion corrected BLYP-D functionals. The main focus has been to look at the influence of π-hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions on the distance and angle resolved variou...

In this paper we develop extensions of the conical techniques exposed in the book [3], and we develop new algorithms as well. We make an effort to keep this paper enough self-contained, however, the book [3] (hereafter often referred to as ”the book” for the sake of brevity) can be useful for further details. Such book is an outgrow of two papers published on the journal Optimization, namely [1...

To study the dynamic response of a pressurized thin-walled circular tube structure subjected to near-field underwater explosion, deformation and damage tests cylindrical shell with different internal pressures wall thicknesses effects an explosion from 2 g explosives at stand-off distances were carried out in water tank. LS-DYNA finite element software was used carry relevant numerical simulati...
