The measured effective thermal conductivity of the water saturated porous copper was as high as 32 W/m K that supported the superior heat augmentation characteristics of the copper water based sintered porous heat sink.
A recent meta-analysis confirmed the evidence that lithium augmentation is superior to placebo augmentation for the treatment of unipolar major depression, with a median response rate of 50% across double-blind studies (Bauer and Döpfmer 1999).
Several studies have shown that the outcomes after ACL augmentation are superior compared to ACL reconstruction in terms of proprioception and joint stability [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17].
The literature analysis on the clinical outcome of ACL reconstruction did not show any superior results with PRP augmentation.
The preliminary results suggest that CAL is effective and safe for soft tissue augmentation and superior to conventional lipoinjection.
Frequently, special components are needed and procedures such as shortening of the femur and acetabular augmentation with superior bone grafting may be considered (Kobayashi et al. 2004, Chougle et al. 2005, Boyle et al. 2012).
Pin fins are relatively good heat transfer augmentation features with superior aerodynamic performance and as a result find application in some solar air heaters.
Visual linking is superior to traditional gene expression augmentation of nodes because it is not limited to the small area on top of the nodes.
In particular, Steinmann pin augmentation with PMMA exhibited superior strength and durability to cement alone when tested at physiological cycling and load-to-failure conditions [5].
Furthermore, PRP augmentation did not provide superior functional results at short term evaluation.
More recently an open, randomized study found that while augmentation with ERP was superior to risperidone or pill placebo, risperidone was not significantly more effective than placebo [ 761].
