This paper explores the feasibility of detecting damage within structures such as air foils by application of eddy current based techniques and reduced order modeling. To identify the geometry of a damage, an optimization algorithm is employed which requires solving the forward problem numerous times. Therefore, the forward algorithm must be solved with extremely fast and accurate solution meth...

This prospective study evaluated patients' perceptions of recovery after surgical exposure of impacted teeth treated with a closed-eruption surgical-orthodontic technique. Twenty-nine patients (16 female, 13 male; mean age, 16 +/- 2.8 years) were given a health-related quality of life questionnaire to be completed each postoperative day (POD) for 7 days. The questionnaire was designed to assess...

In this study, the yield and yield components were studied using a conventional variety Zhongshuang 11 (ZS 11) and a hybrid variety Zhongyouza 12 (ZYZ 12) at varying plant densities. The increase in plant density led to an initial increase in seed yield and pod numbers per unit area, followed by a decrease. The optimal plant density was 58.5 × 104 plants ha-1 in both ZS 11 and ZYZ 12. The furth...

BACKGROUND Post-operative delirium (POD) is a common complication in elderly patients undergoing surgery, but the underpinning causes are not clear. We hypothesized that inflammaging, the subclinical low and chronic grade inflammation characteristic of old people, can contribute to POD onset. Accordingly, we investigated the association of pre-operative and circulating cytokines in elderly pati...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Palmar/plantar osteochondral disease (POD) is a common, debilitating condition in Thoroughbred racehorses; however, training- and racing-related factors associated with this disease are unknown. OBJECTIVES To determine horse-, racing- and training-related risk factors for POD. The general hypotheses were that early training and racing, and increased intensity of r...

OBJECTIVE Of many critical care regimens, the management of physiological disturbances in serum is particularly drawing an attention in conjunction with patient outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the association of serum biochemical markers with mortality in head trauma patients with decompressive craniotomy. METHODS Ninety six patients with acute subdural hematoma underwent decompr...

This work was carried out at the Research Station of Seed Technology Center Agricultural Department / Ministry Science and during season 2020-2021 to investigate effect three nano fertilizers ( boron, iron, zinc) a rate 2 mg. l-1 on wide been varieties (Syrian, Spanish, Taqa). The experiment in randomized complete block design (R. C. B. D.) with replicates. results showed that Syrian variety ga...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate respiratory muscle strength, oxygenation and chest pain in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) using internal thoracic artery grafts comparing pleural drain insertion site at the subxyphoid region versus the lateral region. METHODS Forty patients were randomized into two groups in accordance with the pleural drain site. Group II (n = 19) -pleural ...
