BACKGROUND We aimed to describe herein the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of intraorbital wooden foreign body injuries. METHODS A case series review of orbital injuries managed at Trakya University Faculty of Medicine between 2002 and 2012 was performed retrospectively. The clinical analysis of 32 intraorbital wooden foreign body injuries was reviewed. RESULTS Among the 32 cases...

Sweden is forecasted to grow its population with 1.1 million people over the next eight-year period, increasing the demand on the construction phase of housing units throughout Sweden. However, at present, 240 of Sweden's 290 municipalities show an existing deficit of available housing units in their regions, resulting in inherent difficulties fulfilling this demand utilizing the current produc...

Application of wood in rural construction is diffused all around the world since remote times. However, its inclusion in structural design deserves strong support from broad knowledge of material properties. The pertinent literature reveals the application of optical methods in determining the complete field displacement on bodies exhibiting regular as well as irregular surfaces. The use of moi...

Wooden blocks are a common toy for infants, allowing them to develop motor skills and gain intuition about the physical behavior of the world. In this paper, we explore the ability of deep feedforward models to learn such intuitive physics. Using a 3D game engine, we create small towers of wooden blocks whose stability is randomized and render them collapsing (or remaining upright). This data a...

The Mubarok Skin Cracker Factory is a home industry that produces skin crackers from cowhide, raw, and cooked crackers. Based on the interviews with factory owners, there have been several work accidents, production room has very minimal lighting air ventilation. these problems, method used Hazard Operability Study (HAZOP), which aims to identify sources of hazards potential accidents in proces...

DOCUMENT RESUME

Tannin-based rigid foams were shown to be good thermal insulating materials for use in the cavity of hollow-core wooden doors and other wooden cavities. Their thermal insulation capacity is comparable to that of totally synthetic, oil-derived foams, such as polyurethanes, but with the advantage that they do not burn and thus do not emit toxic gases on burning. Exposure to the weather of wooden ...

Elastic waves in materials with cylindrical orthotropy are considered, this being a plausible model for a wooden pole. For time-harmonic motions, the problem is reduced to some coupled ordinary di erential equations. Previously, these have been solved using the method of Frobenius (power-series expansions). Here, Neumann series (expansions in Bessel functions of various orders) are used, motiva...
