Abstract Introduction Pregnancy and childbirth bring biological, psychological, social changes which may influence women's health. Objective Second degree tears are the most common type of tear. A female urethral stricture is a less condition. Buccal mucosa graft (BMG) widely used tissue for repair. Methods We present 38-year old who suffered 9-year long history disease dyspareunia after two va...

Next generation HPC platforms are expected to feature millions of cores distributed over hundreds of thousands of nodes, leading to scalability and fault-tolerance issues for both applications and runtime environments dedicated to run on such machines. Most parallel applications are developed using a communication API such as MPI, implemented in a library that runs on top of a dedicated runtime...

We experimentally investigate the role of sample size on the viscosity of a bulk metallic glass by examining pressure driven flows in nm-scale confinement. A Pt57.5Cu14.7Ni5.3P22.5 metallic glass in the super-cooled liquid state is extruded into isolated cylindrical pores of varying nano-scale dimensions, down to 40 nm. The apparent viscosity of the liquid as a function of sample size is determ...

The microstructures and mechanical properties of (Cu0.5Zr0.5)100−xZnx (x = 0, 1.5, 2.5, 4.5, 7, 10, and 14 at. %) bulk metallic glass (BMG) composites were studied. CuZr martensitic crystals together with minor B2 CuZr and amorphous phases dominate the OPEN ACCESS

Turkey is located on the seismically active Alpine-Himalayan belt. Although tectonic activity causes seismicity in Anatolian plate, it also constitutes an important geothermal energy resource. Today, production heavily concentrated Turkey's Western Anatolia region. Graben systems this region are very suitable for resources. The Büyük Menderes (BMG) area of complex geology with tectonics and hig...

In addition to their attractive mechanical properties, the amorphous structure of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) leads to favourable conditions for their processing using micro machining operations. At the same time, the generally high hardness and strength of such amorphous metals make short or ultrashort pulsed laser ablation a fabrication technology of interest for generating micro scale featu...

BACKGROUND Urethral stricture disease is a challenging condition to treat and several approaches including direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU) and anastomotic or augmentation urethroplasties based on the use of flaps and graft have been reported. The aim of this study is to determine risk factors for stricture recurrence and complications in patients having buccal mucosal graft (BMG) uret...

Introduction: We present noble gas data from the metallic glass (BMG) [1] flown on Genesis [2]. This target sampled the bulk solar wind (SW) at all velocities during the entire 887 days collection period of Genesis. The main motivation for selecting the BMG has been to look for the putative solar energetic particle (SEP) component reported to be present in lunar and asteroidal regolith samples ...

The reaction rate constants concerning the removal of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and anthracene (AN) in water by Fenton process can be commonly found from experimental data using regression models. However, this calculation is a time-consuming difficult task. Therefore, an algorithm for determination depletion pollutants interest should developed. In study, several algorithms were developed, MATLAB® ...

The critical cooling rate necessary for glass formation via melt solidification poses inherent constraints on sample size using conventional casting techniques. This drawback can be overcome by pressure-assisted sintering of metallic powders at temperatures above the transition, where material shows viscous-flow behavior. Partial crystallization during usually exacerbates brittleness glasses an...
