Measuring Patient Value after Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.
Published in Journal of clinical medicine
Evaluating the value of health care is of paramount importance to keep improving patients' quality of life and optimizing associated costs. Our objective was to present a calculation method based on Michael Porter's formula and standard references to estimate patient value delivered by total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). We retrospectively reviewed ...
Properties of Mexican Tropical Palm Oil Flower and Fruit Fibers for Their Prospective Use in Eco-Friendly Construction M...
The palm oil industry is the leading source of palm oil waste fibers. The disposal of palm oil waste fibers by burning or dumping causes environmental issues such as the emission of CO2 and a diminution in soil fertility. Natural fiber reuse in construction materials such as concrete, mortar and adobe bricks as reinforcement provides a possible eco...
Micro-macro modelling approach of vegetal wools thermal conductivity
4th International Conference on Bio-Based Building Materials, Barcelone, ESPAGNE, 16-/06/2021 - 18/06/2021
Why cyclic hygrothermal ageing modifies the transverse mechanical properties of a unidirectional epoxy-flax fibres compo...
The development of composites based on plant fibres has considerably grown in last decades; however, their high sensitivity to moisture limits their use in structural applications. The objective of this study is to determine and understand the impact of moisture variations during one-year cyclic hygrothermal ageing i.e. 52 cycles on the transverse ...
Multiphase continua for fiber-reinforced materials
A self-consistent approach for the acoustical modeling of vegetal wools
Vegetal wools have the capacity to store atmospheric carbon dioxyde, one of the main gases responsible for climate change. So, these insulating materials are used as key elements for green buildings. Moreover, vegetal wools present high sound absorption level performances contributing to the acoustic comfort of indoor living spaces. These propertie...
Damage analysis of multilayered plates using the scls1 layerwise model
To overcome the inaccurate estimations of local response near free-edges of equivalent single-layer the-ories, a collection of layerwise models have been developed by the Navier laboratory in which the in-terlaminar shear stress is one of the generalized forces [1, 2]. The latest one (SCLS1) with first-order membrane stresses is considered in this ...

Relationship between physicochemical evolution and the failure process of flax fibers aged in water
Increasing environmental concern has put forward the use of flax fibers instead of glass fibers in composite materials. However, durability performances of these bio-fibers remain one of their main issues. This study focuses on the hydrothermal aging of flax fibers. Flax tows were immersed in distilled water at a temperature of 80 °C for different ...
