This study introduces a comprehensive numerical model capable of simulating the evaporation of suspended droplets under different gravity conditions. Unlike previous studies, this work provides a detailed description of the multicomponent evaporation process by integrating: i) interface-resolved evaporation; ii) suspension by the action of the surf...

Background The treatment of severely displaced Rockwood and Wilkins' type C (RWC) thumb metacarpal basal fractures remains controversial in children. This retrospective study aimed to compare the efficacy of two treatment methods, open vs. closed reduction with pinning of such injuries. Methods This study included 30 patients with open physes, 14 b...
We study the wetting model, which considers a random walk constrained to remain above a hard wall, but with additional pinning potential for each contact with the wall. This model is known to exhibit a wetting phase transition, from a localized phase (with trajectories pinned to the wall) to a delocalized phase (with unpinned trajectories). As a pr...

Hammertoe deformity is a common forefoot pathology, characterized by a progressive deformity with dorsiflexion of the proximal phalanx on the metatarsal head at the metatarsal phalangeal joint (MTPJ) and plantarflexion of the intermediate phalanx on the proximal phalanx at the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ). While there is literature availab...

Calcaneus fractures Sanders type II have been historically treated with various modalities. However, few studies compared these procedures directly. The multicenter (TRON group) retrospective study compared the radiographic and clinical outcomes of operative procedures using Kirschner wires (K-wires), cannulated cancellous screws (CCSs) and plates....

Objective In the past, obviously displaced lateral condyle fractures of the humerus in children were treated satisfactorily with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). However, in recent years, more studies have mentioned closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) of these fractures. Methods In this retrospective investigation, the radi...

AbstractThis paper presents a review of studies of superconductors with a porosity above 50%. The pores in such superconducting materials allow refrigerant penetration and provide efficient heat dissipation and stable operation. Methods for the synthesis of the main groups of porous superconductors are described. The results of studies of the struc...

Understanding the combined influence of various parameters on the formation and morphologies of distinct solute deposit patterns obtained after droplet drying is essential for developing numerous real-time applications. In this work, gold nanoparticle (Au-NP) dispersion droplets are dried on a hydrophilic substrate and the coupled effects of nanopa...
Topological spin textures on artificial pinning landscape may show unique static and dynamic properties. Here, we computationally show that the helicity of frustrated skyrmions on an artificial square-grid obstacle pattern can be switched by a spin current pulse. The obstacle pattern is formed by defect lines with enhanced perpendicular magnetic an...
Domain-wall-based devices are considered one of the candidates for the next generation of storage memories and nanomagnetic logic devices due to their unique properties, such as nonvolatility, scalability, and low power consumption. Field or current-driven domain walls require a regular and controlled motion along the track in which they are stored...
