Ligament reconstruction with the use of novel demineralized bone grafts was investigated in a rabbit model.By demineralizing only the central portions of the long bone samples, the grafts had a configuration of the bone-tendon-bone graft and were flexible in bending.Strip type grafts made from femur, stick type grafts from tibia, and tube type graf
Exploring Health and Premature Mortality of Wheelchair Users from a Medical and a Greek-Orthodox Perspective
Wheelchair users have a lower life expectancy compared to the general population.This project aims to provide a deeper understanding of the interaction between physical, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that affect the mortality and health of this target group.The methods used were qualitative.Data from phenomenological interviews, ques
A robust data cleaning procedure for eddy covariance flux measurements
The sources of systematic error responsible for introducing significant biases in the eddy covariance (EC) flux computation are manifold, and their correct identification is made difficult by the lack of reference values, by the complex stochastic dynamics, and by the high level of noise characterizing raw data.This work contributes to overcoming s
