Therefore, they concluded that medial support for proximal humerus fractures seems to have no benefits in Neer two-part fractures, but the additional medial support screws inserted into the inferomedial region of the humeral head may help to enhance mechanical stability in complex fractures and allow for better maintenance of reduction.
Experimental results showed that decreasing the masonry content as well as increasing the cement content and the degree of compaction may enhance its mechanical properties.
The inner part of the spacer features a stainless steel rod to enhance mechanical resistance.
The results indicate that multi-walled nanotubes may enhance radiation hardness of mechanical properties in PMMA.
Since mature endothelial cells within the cardiovasculature are continuously exposed to concurrent shear and tensile forces, it has been suggested that application of such mechanical stimuli may enhance differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells toward functional endothelial phenotype (Maul et al. 2011).
Wetting may enhance consolidation of sediment by mechanical collapse and grain rearrangement; this is because the shear strength of sediment particles is generally weaker when wet than when dry. Permeability measured by using nitrogen gas as a pore fluid was larger than water permeability by more than one order of magnitude (Figure 6).
Furthermore, controlled mechanical ventilation may enhance alveolar collapse and inhomogeneity of the lung parenchyma, inducing further lung damage [ 4].
The present study suggests that mechanical ventilation may enhance the systemic inflammatory response to low levels of circulating endotoxin, even at tidal volumes that do not result in overt lung injury.
Though forb abundance may not consistently be enhanced, mechanical and fuel reduction conifer treatments remain good preventative measures, especially in phase 1 and 2 woodlands, which, at minimum, maintain forbs on the landscape.
Wrapping of cylinders with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tape or aramid fibre tapes or basalt fibre tapes may provide concrete significantly enhanced mechanical properties under monotonic or cyclic load.
