Abstract Background A wide range of foreign bodies has been retrieved from the gut and reported.The presentation may be in the form of complications like intestinal obstruction, perforation and formation of abscesses etc but there is no case report of a half open clasp knife being retrieved from the ileum, the patient having thrived, in spite of it
This study presents an integrated model based on cellular automata for assessing and simulating land use/cover changes and their impact on the environment.Satellite images from Landsat TM and ETM + sensors from the time period of 1985 to 2014 were applied.Seven static and five dynamic variables were applied.These included elevation, slope, aspect,
The concentrically braced system is one of the most common lateral loadbearing systems among the steel structures.This system has various apparent forms where the main characteristic of them all is their significant stiffness and lateral strength.The weakness of these systems is buckling in compression.This issue causes that concentric bracings hav
Silica nanoparticles Cherry Stoner have become promising carriers for drug delivery or gene therapy.Endothelial cells could be directly exposed to silica nanoparticles by intravenous administration.However, the underlying toxic effect mechanisms of silica nanoparticles on endothelial cells are still poorly understood.In order to clarify the cytotox
