The following case is worthy of being placed on record. On the 28th November, 1882, a school-boy named Gopi, eight years old, was admitted into the Inc'ore Charitable Hospital. The history of the case was as follows. Gopi, on his way home from school, was knocked down by a school fellow, and in falling the point of a strong wooden pen, which he held in his right hand, pierced the throat 011 the...

We find exact solutions of the Einstein equations which describe a black hole pierced by infinitely thin cosmic strings. The string segments enter the black hole along the radii and their positions coincide with the symmetry axes of a regular polyhedron. Each string produces an angle deficit proportional to its tension, while the metric outside the strings is locally Schwarzschild one. There ar...

As information exchange over wide area networks becomes an increasingly essential component of new applications, firewalls will no longer provide an adequate defense against malicious attackers. Individual workstations will need to provide strong enough security to contain malicious processes and prevent the domino effect of a pierced firewall. Some of the most commonly found security holes tod...

nanostructures with three-dimensional confinement (see Figure 1). They have received much attention from researchers in the field of condensed matter over the last two decades [1-5], mostly due to their particular magnetic response. When a QR charged with an excess electron is pierced by a magnetic field perpendicular to the ring plane, the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) [6, 7] effect gives rise to persist...

Understanding muscle architecture of the foot may assist in the design of surgical procedures such as tendon transfer, biomechanical modeling of the foot, prosthesis design, and analysis of foot function. This paper primarily focuses on the variation of Flexor Digitorum Longus and Brevis muscles of foot. Sixty inferior extremities were dissected. While dissecting a body of adult female we obser...

We consider arrangements of axis-aligned rectangles in the plane. A geometric arrangement specifies the coordinates of all rectangles, while a combinatorial arrangement specifies only the respective intersection type in which each pair of rectangles intersects. First, we investigate combinatorial contact arrangements, i.e., arrangements of interior-disjoint rectangles, with a triangle-free inte...

An integrated finite element-based modeling framework is developed to predict the hole expansion ratio (HER) of AA6111-T4 sheet by considering the piercing-induced damages around the hole edge. Using damage models and parameters calibrated from previously reported tensile stretchability studies, the predicted HER correlates well with experimentally measured HER values for different hole piercin...
