This research is a follow-up to the previous research which was dealing with the creation of the simulation of the vocal cords function using FEM. This paper focuses on how the vocal cords function is affected by Bernoulli’s effect, while using model [1] is used. It is well known, that Bernoulli’s effect is connected with the suction in the air space between the vocal cords. This is caused by t...

background: variations of the brachial plexus are common and a better awareness of the variations is of crucial importance to achieve successful results in its surgical procedures. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the anatomical variations of the brachial plexus in adult cadavers.   methods: bilateral upper limbs of 32 fresh cadavers (21 males and 11 females) consecutively referred ...

In virtually every organization, data re stored in a variety of ways and managed by different database and file systems. Applications requiring data from multiple sources must recognize and deal with the specifics of each data source and must also perform any necessary data integration. The objective of a multidatabase system is to provide application developers and end users with an integrated...
