OBJECTIVE To describe, in a cadaver study, the anatomical arrangement of the proximal third medial femoral circumflex artery (MFCA). METHODS We evaluated the anatomic arrangement of the proximal third of the MFCA through dissection in 12 cadaver hips. After measuring their height in meters (M), several parameters were determined: angle of lateralization of MFCA (Â), Depth MFCA in relation to ...

The primary source for the blood supply of the head of the femur is the deep branch of the medial femoral circumflex artery (MFCA). In posterior approaches to the hip and pelvis the short external rotators are often divided. This can damage the deep branch and interfere with perfusion of the head. We describe the anatomy of the MFCA and its branches based on dissections of 24 cadaver hips after...

Mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) was extracted and characterized by its composition and molecular weight distribution. Mucilage film-forming dispersions were prepared under different pHs (3, 4, 5.6, 7, and 8) and calcium concentration (0% and 30% of CaCl(2), with respect to mucilage's weight), and their particle size determined. Mucilage films with and without calcium (MFCa and MF, respec...

What potentials do manufacturing companies have for identifying inefficiencies in their use of resources? Assessing the products with regard to their durability, functional usefulness, use of materials, etc. is only one aspect of the exercise. The actual production operations and the search for in-plant inefficiencies represent the other. In Germany, the material flow cost accounting (MFCA) met...

Abstract The purpose of this study is to clarify how material flow cost accounting (MFCA) can contribute the SDGs and indicate introduce it into a company. First, we undertake literature review examine which MFCA potentially to. We then analyse interplay between management decision-making on using an MFCA-LCA integrated model. Finally, discuss company integrate with reference SDG Compass. main ...

In the process of production and operation family farms, a large amount agricultural waste, such as livestock poultry manure, has not been effectively treated in time, causing serious pollution to environment. Moreover, manure are kind resources that can be recycled fertilize crops, which benefit farms both economically environmentally. Adoption biogas digesters by improve sustainability only d...

The surface heat transfer efficiency of three heating media (water, and forced air with and without a water vapor-pressure deficit) was compared using four commodities: mango, papaya, grapefruit, and orange. Forced vapor-saturated-air (VFA), and water (HW) transferred heat most efficiently to the fruit surface. Thermal stress to the fruit was greatest during heating in VFA. Thermal diffusivity ...

The research for suggesting an ice cream for a diabetic patient is carried out in data mining by using clustering and mapping between the data for ice cream and diabetic patients. Here, using MFCA, which is proposed and explained in this paper, does mapping of ice cream dataset with diabetic patient dataset. The results obtained from MCFA algorithm and the new extended MCF algorithm are explain...

Material flow cost accounting (MFCA) represents an innovative tool to identify inefficiencies in the use of resources agribusiness, measuring either mass flows or costs incurred along entire supply chain. The purpose article is estimate meso-level ecological and economic impacts food loss waste Italian salty snack sector before during COVID-19 lockdown by applying MFCA. Furthermore, light Europ...
