Exploratory activity was examined in 4 young baboons with the aim of investigating the type of spatial coding (purely geometric and/or by taking into account the identity of the object) used for the configuration of objects. Animals were individually tested in an outdoor enclosure for their exploratory reactions (contact time and order of spontaneous visits) to changes brought about to a config...

A radial well has a unique wellbore configuration. Fracture propagation in deflagration fracturing is studied rarely. The mechanism of interaction between fractures, natural and micro-fractures still unknown. Based on continuum mechanics, damage variational principles, numerical model fracture established with the Hamilton principle phase-field theory. effects horizontal principal stress differ...

conclusions mandibular fractures can be complicated and demanding, and have a compelling impact on patients’ quality of life. our study reported that parasymphysis was the most common region involved in mandible fractures. results a total of 653 subjects had mandibular fractures, out of which 574 were males. the mean age of the participants was 31.54 ± 13.07. the majority of the subjects were b...

ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. one element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...

BACKGROUND Because of strong loads acting in the elbow joint, intraarticular fractures with a methaphyseal comminuted fracture site at the distal humerus demand a lot from the osteosynthetic care. Ambiguities arise concerning to the anatomic position of the implants and the resulting mechanic performance. The aim of this biomechanical study was to compare the performance of different anatomical...
