Abstract: Since repetitive partial discharge (PD) leads to insulation breakdown, it is one of the most critical defects that affect operation life of electrical equipment. In this paper, four kinds of ...

Topological defects are quasiparticles whose topological nature provides some stability against perturbations. Skyrmions, domain walls, dislocations in crystals, vortices in superconductors and ...

Objectives To determine the baseline trends in the total birth prevalence of neural tube defects (NTDs) in England (2000–2019) to enable the impact of folic acid fortification of non-wholemeal wheat ...

Objective To evaluate the frequency of and risk factors for stroke as a presenting feature in adult patients with secundum atrial septal defect (ASD); rates of post-closure atrial fibrillation (AF) ...

For ensuring the safety and reliability of electronic equipment, it is a necessary task to detect the surface defects of the printed circuit board (PCB). Due to the smallness, complexity and diversity ...

Microorganisms are able to colonise sutures that are implanted in the skin, which is a causative factor of SSIs. Triclosan-coated sutures are antibacterial sutures aimed at reducing SSIs. Our ...

ALD TiN chamber and process generate different types of particle defects having different morphologies and compositions. One of the main types of defect was found to be TiN surface particle from ...

Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) primarily involves the mechanical opening of the midpalatal suture of the maxillary and palatine bones. The fusion of the midpalatal suture determines the failure of ...

The question came from a producer who was experiencing an increase in skeletal birth defects over the last few months and was trying to decide if it was a nutritional problem or a genetic one.

Through our building audits it became apparent that a small selection of defect types was responsible for a large proportion of the defects we’re finding. The defects library has the most common ...

1 Not included in this review that is intended to cover genetic aspects of structural heart defects are the aortopathies, arrhythmia/channelopathies, and isolated cardiomyopathies for which there are ...
