Barrier systems are designed to control contaminant migration. Geomembranes are commonly used as part of a composite liner in landfill cover, base liner systems and sometimes vapour barriers. In landfill applications, the primary function of the geomembrane liner is to control contaminant transport from the leachate (dissolved phase) and landfill gas (vapour phase) out of the landfill thus mini...

Like in many other agricultural crops, incorporation of resistance through plant breeding is an advantageous form of nematode control. The high costs of nematicide applications and the negative consequences that sometimes result from residue accumulation in the environment plus the dangers of maintaining such important crops as bananas and plantains on a reduced genetic base, should be sufficie...

INTRODUCTION Anterior shoulder apprehension is a commonly reported complaint in anterior shoulder instability, which may lead to patient morbidity and impede shoulder function. It is the result of a cognitively complex mechanism, which includes anxiety, salience, fear, and anticipation. PURPOSE The aim of this prospective case-control study was to correlate five clinically established scores ...

BACKGROUND Studies dealing with acute osseous Bankart lesions and corresponding treatment strategies are rare. The purpose of this study is to analyze the results after applying our treatment algorithm for acute glenoid rim fractures caused by first time traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations. METHODS 25 patients were included in this retrospective case series. All patients sustained a firs...

We evaluated the comparability of four commonly used shoulder scoring systems in the United States. Fifty-two patients had 53 shoulder stabilization procedures. Surgical procedures included 34 open Bankart-type repairs, 15 capsular shifts, and 4 arthroscopic stabilizations. Results were assessed using the following scales: 1) Rowe, 2) modified-Rowe, 3) University of California at Los Angeles, a...

BACKGROUND The coracoacromial ligament (CAL) is an important restraint to superior shoulder translation. CAL release with the Latarjet procedure leads to increased superior humeral translation. Therefore, a surgical technique was developed to reconstruct the CAL during a modified Latarjet procedure. METHODS Between May 2010 and July 2011, six patients (five were male, one was female; age 23-4...

Low-grade waste heat conversion to electricity has drawn much attention toward reduction of production cost (Matsuura, Rowe et al. 1992, Rowe 1995, Ebrahimi, Jones et al. 2014). Organic Rankine cycle has been recently proved as a feasible solution with about 7% thermal efficiency and initial cost of about $2/watt for a high temperature of 116 °C and low temperature of 25 °C (Imran, Park et al. ...

There are increasing numbers of private (nonprofit and for-profit) centers that carry out conservation research and education in locations of environmental concern. Such centers generate revenue streams that directly support conservation programs and also sustain surrounding human communities. This paper assesses the size of the centers' economic impacts. We conducted separate studies of the ec...
