Screws are common orthopaedic hardware used to secure a fractured bone. After the bone has healed, the screws may be removed, and the vacant screw holes introduce a potential site for re-fracture, which is a known ...

Response of a material impacted by projectiles especially bullets, or blast fragments, is extremely important in determining the range of impact it can sustain. As explicit finite element codes improve and advances material ...

The purpose of this study was to measure the impact on low achieving learners within the first year implementation of a professional learning community in a large suburban middle school located in the Midwest. Interventions ...

Data obtained from digital flight data recorders installed on a fleet of 27 Beech 1900Ds are used to assess the actual operational environment of propellers on commuter aircraft. The data consists of 910 complete flights ...

The follicles in a human ovary gradually decline in number during infancy, adolescence and the reproductive years. However, during the perimenopausal period there is a more rapid decline in follicles. Older women have fewer ...

A qualitative investigation of the Wichita State University (WSU) Office of disability services produced a program model with one proximate outcome (providing quality services to disabled students). This paper reports the ...

This work brings to the audience Diophantus' problems of first degree in a literal word for word English translation from Ver Eecke's French translation of Arithmetica. In addition, these problems are accompanied by ...

Complex frequency estimation problem plays a significant role in many engineering applications. The estimation process was traditionally achieved by the Eigenvalue Decomposition (EVD) of the spatial correlation matrix ...

The purpose of this thesis was to develop and validate finite element models of the friction stir welding process for butt and lap welds for specific experimental cases that in effect enhances the predictability of ...

For centuries, artists have used their works as a means of communication. Such communication can, at times, connect artist and audience in a unique experience which defies barriers of both language and culture. Although ...
