Vertebral Fractures Predict Subsequent Fractures
This population-based study documents an increase in most types of fractures following the occurrence of a clinically recognized vertebral fracture among 820 Rochester, Minnesota, residents. During 4349 person-years of follow-up, 896 new fractures were observed.

A fracture that lasts for a minimum of nine months without signs of healing for three months is the standard description of nonunion. Plethora of literatures highlights the determinants that increase the risk of nonunion as infections, older age, diabetes, anti-inflammatory drugs, use of tobacco/nicotine, open/compound fracture, low vitamin-D ...

Numerical Analysis of Pulsed Eddy Current Testing for Erosion Defects of High-pressure Manifold
In fracturing operation, erosional damage easily occurs in high-pressure manifold running for a long time under bad working conditions, and the online testing of high-pressure manifold is particularly important to ensure safe production.Based on pulsed ...

Prediction model of decompression wave velocity in supercritical CO2 pipelines containing impurities
Once a supercritical CO2 pipeline fractures, decompression wave will appear at both end of the crack. Hence, the calculation of the decompression wave velocity during the pipeline fracturing is critical for the prediction and control of pipeline fracture.

L-Shape based Layout Fracturing for E-Beam Lithography
Layout fracturing is a fundamental step in mask data preparation and e-beam lithography (EBL) writing. To increase EBL throughput, recently a new L-shape writing strategy is proposed, which calls for new L-shape fracturing, versus the conventional ...
