DEBULKING OF THE FEMORAL STEM IN A PRIMARY TOTAL HIP JOINT REPLACEMENT: A NOVEL METHOD TO REDUCE STRESS SHIELDING

Debulking of the Femoral Stem in a Primary Total Hip Joint Replacement: A Novel Method to Reduce Stress Shielding

In current-generation designs of total primary hip joint replacement, the prostheses are fabricated from alloys.The modulus of elasticity of the alloy is substantially higher than that of the surrounding bone.This discrepancy plays a role in a phenomenon known as stress shielding, in which the bone bears a reduced proportion of the applied load.Str

Application of a Burkholderia cepacia lipase-immobilized silica monolith to batch and continuous biodiesel production with a stoichiometric mixture of methanol and crude Jatropha oil

Abstract Background The enzymatic production of biodiesel through alcoholysis of triglycerides has become more attractive because it shows potential in overcoming the drawbacks of chemical processes.In this study, we investigate the crash bars production of biodiesel from crude, non-edible Jatropha oil and methanol to characterize Burkholderia cepa
