The treatments for non-deficit forms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are corticoid infiltration and/or a nighttime immobilization brace. Surgical treatment, which includes sectioning the retinaculum of the flexors (retinaculotomy), is indicated in cases of resistance to conservative treatment in deficit forms or, more frequently, in acute forms. In minimally invasive techniques (endoscopy and m...

Resistance spot welding is the most preferred and widely used method for joining metal sheets in automotive and many other industrial assembly operations. The body of a car is typically joined by thousands of spot welds. One of the many geometrical factors affecting the final geometrical outcome of the metal part assemblies is the welding process considering welding sequence used when the parts...

Lithological characteristics, mineral composition, physical properties of water and physical and mechanical properties, weathering zone distribution and other factors of bedrock weathering zone in coal-seam roof determine the strength of its watertight performance, while its performance has a direct impact on impermeable overlying loose surface water aquifers as well as the possible collapse in...

E-Government, today, is being regarded as the panacea for many of the conventional government ills, such as rampant corruption in developing countries to costly service deliveries in the developed countries. This paper provides a quick introduction to the e-government and proceeds on to describe a new framework developed for the transition of a government into an egovernment – more specific to ...

Indonesia is a nation with plurality of people. This an advantage that can produce strength as well problem if it not interpreted properly. article presents literature study on the pillars pluralism education for Christian education. According to author there are three in multicultural context Indonesia, namely pillar Authority emphasizes bringing wealth faith, Identity, realization humanity, a...

Additive manufacturing (AM) can quickly and easily obtain lattice structures with light weight excellent mechanical properties. Body-centered cubic (BCC) structure is a basic type of structure. BCC Z strut (BCCZ) derivative structure, it has good adaptability to AM. Generally, the thickness each pillar in BCCZ uniform, which results uneven stress distribution pillar. This makes potential high s...

Computed tomographic (CT) scans and plain radiographs of 21 patients with surgically treated fractures or dislocations of the cervical spine were reviewed. CT effectively demonstrated the locked or perched facets and half of the 13 articular pillar fractures. The fracture lines through the articular pillar were difficult to detect in some cases or to distinguish from a facet joint in others. Ho...

The aim of the project is to detect and classify the brain tumor from MRI image. This project involves mainly 6 stages namely Input Image, Preprocessing, Segmentation, Post Processing, Feature Extraction and Classification. In this phase, 4 stages are implemented, Input image, preprocessing, segmentation and post processing. Input image reads the MRI brain image. Preprocessing mainly includes i...

The mechanical behavior of bicrystalline aluminum nano-pillars under uniaxial compression reveals size effects, a stochastic stress– strain signature, and strain hardening. Pillar diameters range from 400 nm to 2 lm and contain a single, non-sigma high angle grain boundary oriented parallel to the pillar axes. Our results indicate that these bicrystalline pillars are characterized by intermitte...
