vessel for microanastomosis, non-microsurgical methods are suggested, such as a composite graft, retroauricular pocket, or a temporoparietal fascia flap. A few reports of large composite grafts to the ear have been published. The survival rate of composite grafts is lower than that of replantation with microvascular anastomosis. The vessel status of amputees who have sustained a human bite inju...

Composite materials have played a part in the marine world for many years now specifically in the small craft applications. As with many other composite applications the range of materials used and the companies using composite materials range from the highly exclusive Sunseeker vessels to the high performance all weather rescue boats as used by search and rescue organisations around the world....

We discuss exclusion statistics parameters for quasiholes and quasielectrons excited above the fractional quantum Hall states near ν = p/(2np + 1). We derive the diagonal statistics parameters from the (“unprojected”) composite fermion (CF) picture. We propose values for the off-diagonal (mutual) statistics parameters as a simple modification of those obtained from the unprojected CF picture, b...

Current strategies to improve wound healing are often created from multiple components that may include a scaffold, cells, and bioactive cues. Acellular natural hydrogels are an attractive approach since the material's intrinsic biological activity can be paired with mechanical properties similar to soft tissue to induce a host's response toward healing. In this report, a systematic evaluation ...

Aerosol materials synthesis methods [ 1–9 ] have been utilized to prepare a distinct platform of spherical composite materials that incorporate sub-100 nanometer features. Nanostructured microspheres (nsμ S) and extended surfaces made up of metal, metal oxides and sulfi des such as TiO 2 , [ 10–14 ] SiO 2 , [ 15–19 ] Co, [ 20 ] Co 3 O 4 , CuO, NiO, [ 21 ] ZrO 2 , [ 22 ] ZnO, [ 23 , 24 ] Al, [ 2...
