Foreign body esophagus remains one of the common medical emergencies which may lead to significant morbidity and mortality.Sharp objects, batteries, and elderly with foreign body esophagus should be treated with emergent removal owing to the complications that might ensue.Endoscopic removal is the preferred choice of treatment but for large foreign

In the ongoing research examination, a meshfree-based numerical curvature sensitive framework is advanced to analyze the nonlinear asymmetric thermomechanical stability characteristics of microsize curved beams composed of functionally graded materials (FGMs) and subjected to an arbitrary-located concentrated load, uniform temperature rise as well

A porous filter was fabricated by plasticizing polymer fibers with CO2, followed by pressing and adhering; then, its gas permeability, a basic physical property of filters, was measured using N2.The as-obtained filter was well compressed and expected to approximate a sintered porous welding sweater material.Therefore, the fabricated filter was anal

The literature recognizes several endogenous and exogenous factors influencing the behavior and performance of companies in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of culture (Hofstede dimensions) on CSR in BRIC countries.The sample comprised 397 companies from Brazil, Russia, India and China, using Kolmo

Gravity waves (GWs) have been intensively studied over recent decades because of their dominant role in the dynamics of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT).The momentum deposition caused by breaking GWs determines the basic structure and drives the large-scale circulation in the MLT.Satellite observations provide a way to qualify the proper
