Comparing the Surgical Outcomes of Pleurectomy versus Pleural Abrasion Following Bullectomy in Cases of Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax

Ain Shams Medical Journal
Introduction: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) commonly affects young, thin male smokers and often recurs after non-surgical management. When surgery is indicated, bullectomy is typically combined with either pleural abrasion or apical pleurectomy ...

Comparison of Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Energy Absorbers Under Uniaxial Compressive Loading

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates LCD 3D printed Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures as mechanical energy absorbers. By comparing various base designs and layered combinations under uniaxial compression, it identifies that a Diamond‐Gyroid sandwich structure offers superior performance.

Short Term Outcome of Transannular Patch on Right Ventricle Dysfunction in Tetralogy of Fallot Repair

Arcades of Medicine
Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a prevalent congenital cyanotic cardiac condition. After TOF cases have their transannular patches (TAPs), pulmonary regurgitation was the most prevalent and serious complication.

Intermediate Resistive State in Wafer‐Scale Vertical MoS2 Memristors Through Lateral Silver Filament Growth for Artificial Synapse Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In MOCVD MoS2 memristors, a current compliance‐regulated Ag filament mechanism is revealed. The filament ruptures spontaneously during volatile switching, while subsequent growth proceeds vertically through the MoS2 layers and then laterally along the van der Waals gaps during nonvolatile switching.

A Generic Pedagogic Model for Academically Based Professional Officer Education

, 2018
After the end of the Cold War, many European countries cut back so heavily on defense expenditure that they lost their capacity to defend themselves. This resulted in greater need for improved cooperation and interoperability among member states’ armed ...

Mechanical Behavior and Fracture Mechanisms of MXene/PVDF Nanocomponsites: In Situ Characterization and Multiscale Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multiscale experiments and modeling reveal how Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets reinforce PVDF nanocomposites. An optimal MXene loading (∼1 wt.%) nearly doubles tensile strength through efficient stress transfer, flake alignment, and crack‐deflection mechanisms, transforming ductile polymer behavior into a controlled multi‐stage fracture pathway which aligns ...

WAF0042 - Inquiry: Women in the Armed Forces: From Recruitment to Civilian Life [PDF]

, 2021
It is acknowledged that once military service is complete, personnel embark on a long metaphorical journey back to civilian life. Women military service leavers (WMSLs) are the fastest growing segment of the armed forces, and for them this transition can
