BACKGROUND Navel piercings are becoming increasingly popular among adolescents. Body piercing jewelry must be removed before surgery, because electrical burns can occur with electrocauterization. Also, piercing jewelry creates artifacts during magnetic resonance imaging. Even temporary piercing jewelry removal may lead to closure of the subcutaneous tract; therefore, temporary replacement with ...

We report a precise match between the high temperature (D+2)-dimensional Tangherlini-AdS black hole and low quantum phonon gas in D-dimensional nonmetallic crystals residing (D+1)-dimensional flat spacetime. The is realized by use of recently proposed restricted phase space formalism for thermodynamics, result can be viewed as novel contribution to AdS/CMT correspondence on quantitative level.

The objective of the current study is to determine the fatigue limit of a clean and high-performance material named as HSLA-100 steel and to compare the obtained fatigue limit with that of theoretically predicted fatigue limit by statistics of extreme value (SEV) method. Also, the size of inclusions located at the site of fatigue crack nucleation on the fracture surface of the fatigue test spec...
