Constitutive Modeling of the Tensile Behavior of Recycled Polypropylene-Based Composites by Kui Wang (137551)

“…These PP composites are subjected to repeated processing cycles, including a grinding step and an extrusion step to simulate recycling at the laboratory level, the selected reprocessing numbers for this study being 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12. Because the repeated reprocessing leads to thermo-mechanical degradation by chain scission mechanisms, the tensile behavior of the two materials exhibits a continuous decrease of elastic modulus and failure strain with the increasing amount of reprocessing. …”

Two-surgeon technique of parenchymal transection contributes to reduced transfusion rate in patients undergoing major hepatectomy by Palavecino, Martin

“…Conclusion Although most factors that affect the red cell transfusion rate for liver resection are patient- or tumor-related, the parenchymal transection technique is under the surgeon's control. The decrease in transfusion rate associated with the use of the 2-surgeon technique emphasizes the important role of the hepatobiliary surgeon in determining outcomes after liver resection. …”
