Optimal propulsive flapping in Stokes flows [PDF]
Bioinspir. Biomim. (2014) 9, 016001, 2014 Swimming fish and flying insects use the flapping of fins and wings to generate thrust. In contrast, microscopic organisms typically deform their appendages in a wavelike fashion. Since a flapping motion with two degrees of freedom is able, in theory, to produce net forces from a time-periodic actuation at all Reynolds number, we compute in this paper ...

Using Local Flaps in a Chest Wall Reconstruction after Mastectomy for Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2015 Background Surgical ablation for locally advanced breast cancer results in large chest wall defects, which can then be managed with local flaps or skin grafts. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the outcomes of three types of local skin flaps.

A New Method for Creating a Definite Philtrum by the Flipping of an Orbicularis Oris Muscle Flap in a Patient with an Indistinct Philtrum [PDF]
Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2013 The philtrum plays a key role in the appearance of the upper lip and nostril sill. Therefore, construction of the philtrum is crucial for attaining a natural appearance of the upper lip.

Surgical pearl on reconstructing surgical defects of the nasal tip
Dermatology Reports, 2016 Repairing surgical defects of the nasal tip is challenging, mainly because of the lack of freely mobile skin available peripherally. The Peng flap is a one-stage cutaneous flap that circumvents this difficulty by recruiting skin from the nasal dorsum and

Feasibility and Aesthetic Results of Small Bilateral V-Y Advancement Flaps in the Extremities and Back [PDF]
Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2017 Background Random type small V-Y advancement flap is widely used for facial reconstruction with advantages including good color and texture match. However, the flap is not as widely used in the extremities and back as in the face because of apprehension ...

Global modes and nonlinear analysis of inverted-flag flapping [PDF]
J. Fluid Mech. 857 (2018) 312-344, 2017 An inverted flag has its trailing edge clamped and exhibits dynamics distinct from that of a conventional flag, whose leading edge is restrained. We perform nonlinear simulations and a global stability analysis of the inverted-flag system for a range of Reynolds numbers, flag masses and stiffnesses.
