Background Laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) of inguinal hernia has been associated with higher rates of recurrence compared to open methods. The aim of the present study was to determine independent risk factors for recurrence within 2 years after TEP. Methods This was a single-centre prospective cohort study with consecutive inclusion of patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair...
The voltage distribution over the surface of an insulator in humid conditions is determined by the shape of the insulator and the surface resistivity. The latter changes very rapidly with the temperature rise caused by the Joulean heating in the surface layer. In the paper a comparison is made between computed and observed temperature distributions on a cylindrical and on a disc shaped glass insulator...
This paper describes an efficient algorithm for finding the minimal cut-sets for the output nodes of any network. The advantages over previously published algorithms are that it can be used on a desktop computer, and it requires simpler input data preparation hence providing for rapid testing of the effect of network changes.
