a telephone trumpet t. When the primary circuit is closed, the enclosed iron bar d becomes magnetised, and in its turn it magnetises the smaller bar b. Secondary currents are thus induced in the fine coil around b. It will be observed that the prolonged axis of d cuts b at its middle ; two secondary currents of equal strength and running in opposite directions are thus induced in the fine coil ...

Their cartographic generalization is termed polygon generalization. Cartographic generalization or generalization is one of the basic principles of cartography, namely the legible and comprehen...

Open reduction and internal fixation using tension-band wires for displaced olecranon fractures enables restoration of extensor function. We report on 3 elderly patients with a displaced olecranon fracture who underwent open reduction and internal fixation using sutures as the Kirschner wire and tension-band wire and achieved good outcome.
