During CO2 injection into deep saline aquifers, the overlying caprock may be subjected to geochemical reactions which can alter the leakage pathways for injected CO2. Thus, it is crucial to identify the supercritical CO2 (scCO2) flow behaviour via fractures in caprock and its permeability to estimate the permanence of injected CO2. The objective of...

The continuous demands for stringent environmental regulation and increased interests in the preservation of natural resources have motivated industries and research institutions to examine and consider alternative approaches on the use of renewable resources and waste by-products. This study was conducted using one of the most available natural fi...
Localization of damage in conventional brittle materials is the source of a host of undesirable effects. In this paper, we show how artificially engineered metamaterials with all brittle constituents can be designed to ensure that every breakable sub-element fails independently. The crucial role in the proposed design is played by high contrast com...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory arthropathy affecting 1% of the population, with a female predominance. Systemic inflammation is a key component of RA disease; corticosteroids are often required to rapidly control disease activity. Both inflammation and corticosteroids, however, have an adverse effect on bone mineral density, potential...

Compare outcomes of operative and nonoperatively managed medial epicondyle fractures in upper-extremity athletes. Retrospective chart review and phone survey. Level 1, tertiary-referral pediatric hospital. Propensity scores (probability of operative treatment) were estimated from a logistic regression model that included sex, age, displacement, lim...

AbstractA structural–statistical kinetic model is developed to describe the brittle fracture of materials at low stresses. Expressions are derived for the average life of a material at low stresses, and a kinetic meaning of the brittle fracture criterion is formulated.

AbstractThe deformation behavior of the dentin in intact human teeth is studied during diametral compression in air, water, and a 18% aqueous solution of NaCl. The deformation behavior of the dentin during diametral compression is shown to change from quasi-brittle during tests in air to viscoelastic during tests in water and the aqueous solution o...

Background and objectives: In the paediatric population, hand injuries are one of the most frequent injuries and the second most frequent area of fracture. It is estimated that hand injuries account for up to 23% of the trauma-related causes of emergency department visits. Not only are they a significant factor in health care costs, but they may al...

Purpose Surgical management of ankle fractures has been extensively studied in literature but studies investigating validated clinical results are lacking and controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate functional and health-related quality of life (HRQL) outcomes after surgically treated ankle fractures and to detect some of their pre...

Background Fractures as a result of osteoporosis and low bone mass are common and give rise to significant clinical, personal, and economic burden. Even after a fracture occurs, high fracture risk remains widely underdiagnosed and undertreated. Common fracture risk assessment tools utilize a subset of clinical risk factors for prediction, and often...
