Epidermal cyst of the skin, also referred to as epidermoid or infundibular cyst, is a common benign cystic lesion and is thought to occur from damage to the pilosebaceous units [1]. This kind of lesion is unilocular, histopathologically lined by a stratified squamous epithelium containing a granular layer, and filled with laminated and/or basket-weave keratin within the cyst, which is believed ...

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), luminescent π-conjugated anionic polymer and montmorillonite (MMT) were orderly assembled into luminescent multilayer films via layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The electronic microenvironment (EME), the structure of which is like a traditional capacitor, can be constructed by exfoliated LDHs or MMT nanosheets. In addition, the rigid inorganic laminated con...

Laminated concrete slabs can deliver desirable structural properties and effectively improve the speed of construction. According to their basic specifications, laminated comprise a 60 mm precast slab 70 layer cast in situ, with steel truss bar at height 80 mm. This paper studies effects on mechanical slabs. A simple but accurate method is proposed for calculating stiffness The test results sho...

Microtechnology becomes a versatile tool for biological and biomedical applications. Microwells have been established long but remained non-intelligent up to now. Merging new fabrication techniques and handling concepts with microelectronics enables to realize intelligent microwells suitable for future improved cancer treatment. The described technology depicts the basis for the fabrication of ...

Hollow waveguide slot antennas, which have the features of low transmission loss and high cross-polarization discrimination (XPD), have been widely employed in communication and radar systems. The fabrication technique called “diffusion bonding of laminated thin metal plates” [1, 2] has been introduced in the realization of multi-layer waveguide structures with high massproductivity. The diffus...

Global energy sources such as coal and oil are limited, and the burning of such fossil resources creates pollution problems. Wind energy offers one of several promising clean alternatives to carbon-based fuels. However, the composite materials currently available for producing wind turbine blades cannot accommodate the scale-up of wind energy due to their high price and disposal challenges (e.g...

Fast-growing tree species are important due to their short growth time before they are harvested. Both the Poplar and Eucalyptus species are fast-growing trees. These two species have been cultivated in many parts of the world, and they are used in several ways, including in the pulp and paper industry, as wood-based panels, and as structural composite lumber. In this study, laminated veneer lu...

Layered manufacturing (LM) or rapid prototyping is a process in which a part is produced using layer-by-layer addition of the material. In LM, slicing of the CAD model of a part to be produced is one of the important steps. Slicing of CAD model with a very small slice thickness leads to large build time. At the same time if large slice thickness is chosen, the surface Žnish is very bad due to s...

Diagnosis of lung hydatidosis becomes difficult with unusual radiographic findings especially with rupture of hydatid cyst. Here we present the case of a patient who presented with hydatid cyst with endobronchial rupture. A 40-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of cough with mucoid expectoration, breathlessness on exertion, intermittent fever and left-sided chest pain. Chest radiogr...

Bending tests were conducted with cross laminated timber (CLT) panels made using an alternating layer arrangement. Boards of Norway spruce were used to manufacture five-layer panels on an industrial CLT production line. In total, 20 samples were tested, consisting of two CLT configurations with 10 samples of each type: transverse layers at 45° and the conventional 90° arrangement. Sample dimens...
