The design and construction of quay walls are processes that exist for many centuries and have become more complex and challenging in current engineering practice. For the design of quay walls a number of guidelines and design codes have been developed over the years. These give the requirements that a quay wall structure should meet, but do also p...

While 3D printing in hand surgery is still in its infancy, it offers new avenues in research, teaching, and personalized medicine. For these reasons, some surgeons may want to jump on the bandwagon of this trendy technology. But we cannot forget that its superiority over conventional techniques has not been demonstrated. Surgeons who want to work w...

AbstractThe contamination of the recirculated powder, namely, the material retained after the selective laser sintering of VZh159 and EP648 alloys, is studied as a function of the geometry of a part. The contamination of the recirculated powder is shown to depend mainly on the complex geometry of the part with a long perimeter of its contours and s...
Izhodišča: Zdravljenje večine ginekoloških rakov, zlasti raka materničnega vratu, sloni na uporabi teleradioterapije in brahiterapije. Brahiterapija zaradi strmega doznega gradienta omogoča veliko dozo v tumorju, medtem ko v okolnih tkivih strmo pade. Najsodobnejši pristopi v brahiterapiji temeljijo na uporabi magnetne resonance kot slikovne metode...

In this work, we study different rheological and thermal phenomena present during laser sintering of two polystyrene (PS) particles using fully resolved numerical simulations. In our analysis, we varied the laser power, the initial temperature and the thermal convection coefficient, used different rheological descriptions for the flow behavior and ...

The objective of the present study was to enhance the dissolution rate of carvedilol (CA), a poorly water-soluble antihypertensive drug, using a co-grinding method in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Various ratios of CA:PVP:SLS were ground by a planetary ball mill. They were studied in terms of dissolutio...

Depending on the linker length between the V H and the V L domain, single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody fragments form monomers, dimers (diabodies) or higher oligomers. We aimed at generating a diabody of the anti-MET antibody 3H3 to use it as crystallization chaperone to promote crystallization of the MET ectodomain through the introduction of a pre-fo...
