Introduction: Ensuring maximum patient safety as well as a complete surgical experience is of utmost importance in training for plastic surgery. As plastic surgical training relies on resident participation in various procedures, we must guarantee adequate hands-on operative time while maintaining the best possible outcomes for the patient. The effect of resident involvement on the outcomes of ...

the chemical composition, in situ ruminal degradability coefficients of dry matter (dm), and nutrient digestibility in sheep were evaluated for corn silage (cs) treated (fresh weight basis) with different levels of a commercial bacterial inoculant (i) as follows: (1) untreated cs (control); (2) cs + i at half of the recommended level; (3) cs + i at the recommended level (3  1010 colony forming...

The effect of reducing the thinning rate when flow forming AZ31B magnesium alloy barrels on microstructure, crystal orientation, micro-, nano- and macro-mechanical properties was investigated. results demonstrate that undergoes different degrees plastic deformation after forming, grain size dislocation density inside change greatly, evolution pattern organization has a significant mechanical ma...

plastic instability which results in the localization and failure of sheet metals has been studied in equibiaxial stretching of commercial purity aluminium sheet. attention was focussed on two main industrial conditions of the material. these were representative of the materials that could be processed by the commercial batchannealing process (slow heating, long time) or by a continuous anneali...

In this work the high pressure region of the phase diagram of water has been studied by computer simulation by using the TIP4P/2005 model of water. Free energy calculations were performed for ices VII and VIII and for the fluid phase to determine the melting curve of these ices. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations were performed at high temperatures (440 K) observing the spontaneous fre...

The manufacturing process and the behaviour of a spring manufactured from an aluminium sheet is described and investigated in this work considering the specifications for the in-service conditions. The spring is intended to be applied in car multimedia industry to replace bolted connections. Among others, are investigated the roles of the constitutive parameters and the hypothesis of evolutive ...

Dynamics of bending of NaCl whisker is studied with use of high speed camera VFU-1 synchronized with high power electron accelerator GIN-600. The dynamics of bending turns to be non-monotonous and quite complicated. The figures of etching of whisker after bombardment by electron beam are analysed, thin polygonization in samples is found. The time of bending in experiment and time of forming of ...

An efficient matrix formalism for finding power series solutions to boundary value problems typical for technological plasticity is developed. Hyperbolic system of two first order quasilinear PDEs that models two-dimensional plastic flow of von Mises material is converted to the telegraph equation by the hodograph transformation. Solutions to the boundary value problems are found in terms of hy...

BACKGROUND Many international volunteer groups provide free reconstructive plastic surgery for the poor and underserved in developing countries. An essential issue in providing this care is that it meets consistent guidelines for both quality and safety-a topic that has been addressed previously. An equally important consideration is how to provide that care in an ethical manner. No literature ...

INTRODUCTION: During the 2015–2016 academic year, plastic surgery residents accounted for nearly 4.2% of surgical residents and 0.8% of residents overall. While the number of residency programs and allotted residency positions in plastic surgery have been steadily increasing in recent years, little information exists regarding residents who are accepted for plastic surgery residency but never m...
