The aim of this study is to establish a new method for predicting the effective elastic and thermal behavior of heterogeneous materials through mathematical curve fitting. The research initiates with the collection of 3D microstructures comprising 200 spherical inclusions embedded within a linear elastic matrix. This database is acquired by varying...
This contribution deals with the development of a numerical approach based on discrete element method to study the hygrothermal behaviour of conventional and composite materials. For this purpose, we consider the context of magnesium aluminate and polyamide 6 reinforced with 30% of short glass fibre respectively. A coupled hygrothermal model based...
I have the pleasure to inform you that your above-mentioned paper has been refereed and accepted for publication as an original article in " the Egyptian journal of hospital medicine. Thanking you for your cooperation and looking forward for future acts.
Purpose
Overdrainage (OD) is one of the most frequent complications related to drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is mostly associated with valve-bearing shunt systems but should probably be considered as a risk factor in any type of CSF diversion procedure. There is extreme variation in the reported incidence of OD due to the lack of co...
Background
There are conflicting opinions on the role of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) in the staging of oesophageal cancer (OG) patients which can complicate and delay intervention. We aim to audit the use of EUS in the OG cancer staging pathway as well as assess accuracy in selected cases.
Methods
A retrospective audit of the hospital database of...
In patients with hydrocephalus, prognosis and intervention are based on multiple factors. This includes, but is not limited to, time of onset, patient age, treatment history, and obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid flow. Consequently, several distinct hydrocephalus classification systems exist. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is u...
Developing a successful career is an art, skill, and science. It should not be left totally to the individual graduate to take their chances. The graduating institutes and educational system should take responsibility helping and guiding the graduates to have a successful career. The successful career is not only an individual business, but also it...
The left thoracophrenotomy approach to oesophagectomy-also known as Sweet Oesophagectomy (SO)—for oesophageal cancer is performed by many centres worldwide but seldom used in the UK, owing to concerns over the extent of lymphadenectomy compared with the Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy (ILO) approach. This study aims to compare the oncological and clinica...
While neurosurgical advancement, both in operative and educational domains, have been rapid in the past few years, most of them were made by the countries who already have well established systems. A huge part of the world lacks such opportunities, and paradoxically they are most in need as they do not have enough learning opportunities, well-train...
Introduction
The left thoracophrenotomy approach to oesophagectomy or Sweet Oesophagectomy (SO) for oesophageal cancer is performed by many centres worldwide but seldom used in UK, owing to concerns over extent of lymphadenectomy compared with Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy (ILO) approach. This study aims to compare oncological and clinical outcomes fol...
Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are a relatively recently developed product. The purpose of developing this hybrid is to exchange plastic and wood wastes for increased sustainable materials; and the need to reduce waste disposal to landfill and oceans. In this research Wood-plastic Composites (WPCs) panels are manufactured by thoroughly mixing finel...
Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme that has been used as an anti-inflammatory agent in sinusitis, bronchitis, and other inflammatory disorders. Out of 170 bacterial isolates retrieved from soil samples, Serratia marcescens S6, identified by 16s rDNA, was the most potent isolate in protease production that carried an allele of the metalloprot...
Research Summary
he goal of current research to identify the effectiveness of the model of Lourdes bilateral parameter and Birnbaum triple parameter in capacity development and trade-off test between them using the index (RMSD) for accuracy was assisted by a researcher at the sixth image of test capabilities to Carter (2008) and prepared for the ag...
Background: Unlike in the past, caries nowadays, is stressed to be treated by employing preventive strategies. Though in many countries, treating caries by surgical intervention is reducing but surprisingly most dentists in Karachi, Pakistan continue to treat it by drilling and placing a restoration as primary measure. A question comes to one's min...
Aim: To determine seroprevalence of Salmonellosis among Pigeon and its surrounding environment in Egypt, isolation of Salmonella species from collected samples and serotyping of isolated stains. Materials and Methods: In this study, a total of 400 samples were collected from squabs and adult pigeon represented in cloacal swabs from diseases, liver,...

This paper analyzes the evolution of competition in the Tunisian banking sector in the period 2000-2008, which is a period of deregulation, liberalization and consolidation of the sector. For this purpose, we use two indicators of the competition from the theory of the industrial organization (the Lerner index and the Panzar and Rosse's H-statistic...
