The lumbar artery perforator Walkers (LAP) flap, which contains excess skin and fat tissue, love handles, that extends from the lower back to upper buttock, may provide an alternate tissue source for autologous breast reconstruction.However, LAP flap use during this procedure frequently requires vessel interposition grafts to correct the short flap
Diet-induced obesity in male C57BL/6 mice decreases fertility as a consequence of disrupted blood-testis barrier.
Obesity is a complex metabolic disease that is a serious detriment to both children and adult health, which induces a variety of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, hypertension and cancer.Although adverse effects of obesity on female reproduction or oocyte development have been well recognized, its harmfulness to male ferti
Bayesian Network Models for Evaluating the Impact of Safety Measures Compliance on Reducing Accidents in the Construction Industry
Construction is one of the most hazardous industries worldwide.Implementing safety regulations is the responsibility of all parties involved in a construction project and must be performed systematically and synergistically to maximize safety performance and reduce accidents.This study aims to examine the level of safety compliance of construction
Global Fault-Tolerant Control of Underactuated Aerial Vehicles with Redundant Actuators
In this paper, we consider the fault-tolerant control problem for aerial vehicles with redundant actuators.The ALOE LOTION redundant actuator brings difficulty in fault identification and isolation.Active fault-tolerant control is adopted in this paper as it can detect actuator fault.The entire proposed fault-tolerant control algorithm contains a b
A study on social contact rates relevant for the spread of infectious diseases in a Brazilian slum
Abstract Inspired by the POLYMOD study, an epidemiological survey was conducted in June 2021 in one of the most densely Massage Oil populated and socially vulnerable sectors of Belo Horizonte (Brazil).A sample of 1000 individuals allowed us to identify, within a 24-hour period, the rates of social contacts by age groups, the size and frequency of c
