Hard gelatin capsule filled with acetaminophen, osmotic agent (sorbitol), a release promoter (sodium dodecyl sulfate), coated with a semipermeable cellulose acetate membrane containing a hydrophobic plasticizer (castor oil) and sealed with white bees wax plug was designed. When placed in the sink water penetrates the membrane, dissolves the osmotic agent and increases the osmotic pressure...

BACKGROUND Understanding how kinematic multi-segment foot modelling influences the utility of Plug-in-Gait calculations of the knee adduction moment (KAM) during shod walking is relevant to knee osteoarthritis (OA). Multi-segment foot markers placed on the skin through windows cut in to the shoe provide a more accurate representation of foot mechanics than the traditional marker set used by Plu...

background: ligament reconstruction is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. although several popular techniques are currently in use, new methods are proposed for secure fixation of the tendon graft into the bone tunnel. purposes: we sought to introduce our new technique of bashti bone plug for fixation of soft tissue graft in anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction and to compare ...

The current regeneration mode of public space in the old city Guangzhou is ineffective, thus necessitating supplementation with a more systematic methodology. “plug-in design” targets sustainable while preserving overall urban texture and context, i.e., it has little impact on spatial qualities city. ultimate goal to activate point area through insertion various plug-ins. In this study, methodo...

INTRODUCTION Recurrent and complex high fistulas remain a surgical challenge. This paper reports our experience with the anal fistula plug in patients with complex fistulas. METHODS Data were collected prospectively and analyzed from consecutive patients undergoing insertion of a fistula plug from January 2011 through April 2014 at Hazrat-e-Rasoul Hospital in Tehran. We ensured that sepsis ha...

Three types of mechanisms were evaluated to determine their applicability to partially modifying an online switching system file and to creating a partial file during the debugging phase. First, the applicability of the basic plug-in mechanism, currently used in commercial switching systems, was evaluated by using data obtained from an initial implementation of PHS and ATM switching systems. It...

Testing plug-in-based systems is challenging due to complex interactions among many different plug-ins, and variations in version and configuration. The objective of this paper is to increase our understanding of what testers and developers think and do when it comes to testing plug-in-based systems. To that end, we conduct a qualitative (grounded theory) study, in which we interview 25 senior ...

The installation and configuration of a new network component is a difficult task due to the heterogeneous nature of today’s telecommunication networks. This task requires substantial effort and extensive expertise on the part of the network administrator because he has to set hardware and software attributes for a variety of such components to make them work together. We propose a solution to ...

A monocationic plug-socket connector that is composed, at the molecular level, of three components, (1) a secondary dialkylammonium center (CH2NH2+CH2), which can play the role of a plug toward dibenzo[24]crown-8 (DB24C8), (2) a rigid and conducting biphenyl spacer, and (3) 1,4-benzo-1,5-naphtho[36]crown-10 (BN36C10), capable of playing the role of a socket toward a 4,4'-bipyridinium dicationic...
