background lesions in perineal area are common. the usual treatment is coverage by skin graft and flaps which may be local, pedicled or free types. in this paper v-y flaps were used to cover the defects. methods v-y flaps were used in the gluteal area in 15 patients. lesions were due to different causes. results of 15 patients, 11 were males and 4 were females. their ages ranged from 3 weeks to...

Generation Y (age 18-31) is a very large and economically powerful generation, containing eighty-two million people and spending $200 billion annually. It is not surprising that companies are interested in gaining the patronage of this group, particularly via the web. Surprisingly, very little research into making web pages appealing to this important demographic has been done. This paper addre...

ceramic dental materials have been considered as alternatives to metals for dental implants application. in this respect, zirconia tetragonal stabilized with %3 yttrium, is of great importance among the ceramic materials for endosseous dental implant application. because of its good mechanical properties and color similar to tooth. the aim and novelty of this study was to design and prepare y-t...

In this research, zeolite Na-Y was synthesized from Kaolin without an organic template under the non-hydrothermal condition to adsorb sulfur compound. Model fuel desulfurization was optimized by employing the Box-Behnken experimental design with 2 center points, the three parameters, and one response value. The objective was to find how sorption capacity is related to alkali fusion temperat...

this paper presents a description of the equipment, testing procedure, and methodology to obtain ground mechanical parameters. the p-y curves for laterally loaded piles are developed. methods for the development of p-y curves from pressure meter and dilatometer (dmt) test are described. p-y curves are used in the analysis to represent lateral soil-pile interaction. the pressure meter offers an ...

In this paper, a Y-shaped power splitter based on a two dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) for TE modes is designed and optimized. A triangular lattice of air holes is used for Y-shaped power divider. For analyzing these structures, plane wave expansion (PWE) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods are used. The simulation results show that more than 98% of the input power is transmitt...

We study the situation in which a cheap measure (X) is observed in a large, representative twin sample, and a more expensive measure (Y) is observed in a selected subsample. The aim of this study is to investigate the optimal selection design in terms of the statistical power to detect genetic and environmental influences on the variance of Y and on the covariance of X and Y. Data were simulate...
