OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of varying numbers of layers of plaster of Paris bandages on the mechanical properties of specimens used on the construction of orthopedic splints. METHODS Rectangular plate-shaped and cylinder-shaped specimens were constructed and assigned to two groups simulating plaster slabs and cast and further divided into six subgroups according to the number of layers...

In this paper, we investigate the light trajectories and shadow properties in rotating version of null naked singularity (NNS) spacetime which is derived using Newman- Janis algorithm without complexification method. We discuss some geometrical causal structure Rotating Naked Singularity (RNS) spacetime. The gravitational lensing a analyzed, results are compared to those Kerr black hole. case h...

Objective: To evaluate the effects of varying numbers of layers of plaster of Paris bandages on the mechanical properties of specimens used on the construction of orthopedic splints. Methods: Rectangular plate-shaped and cylinder-shaped specimens were constructed and assigned to two groups simulating plaster slabs and cast and further divided into six subgroups according to the number of layers...

AIM To evaluate the mechanical properties (ultimate tensile strength, elongation and hardness) of the commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) as casting and after ceramic firing cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dumbbell-shaped specimens were prepared for the tensile strength testing. Disk-shaped cast specimens were used for microhardness testing. The ceramic firing cycles were made simulating a low f...

There are recent observational indications (lack of convergent electric ®eld signatures above the auroral oval at 4 RE altitude) that the U-shaped potential drop model for auroral acceleration is not applicable in all cases. There is nevertheless much observational evidence favouring the U-shaped model at low altitudes, i.e., in the acceleration region and below. To resolve the puzzle we propos...

Likewise, after considering the various background characteristics that they could use to prioritise in favour of or against, people are more reluctant to make clearcut decisions—not because they think that choices in health care do not have to be made, but because they recognise that the choices are complicated ones. There is some evidence that surveys, which largely elicit people’s initial re...

Only knowing captures the intuitive notion that the beliefs of an agent are precisely those that follow from its knowledge base. While only knowing has a simple possible-world semantics in a single agent setting, the many agent case has turned out to be much more challenging. In a recent paper, we proposed an account which arguably extends only knowing to multiple agents in a natural way. Howev...

To enhance the mechanical properties and damage resistance of prefabricated monolithic composite beams, this study introduces HPFRCC precast mold shells as a replacement for ordinary concrete in construction beams. These shell beam members are then subjected to experimental investigations analyze their flexural properties. The results indicate that U–shaped exhibits excellent bonding with post-...

The was, is, and will be of the human becoming theory is a journey in the art of sciencing, a process of coming to know the world of human experience. The form and structure of the theory as written does not fully reflect the intuitive-rational process that birthed its creation. That process germinated multidimensionally throughout [my] life of being present to and conceptualizing the significa...
