CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF LOADING BY TECHNOLOGY RECONDITIONING, WITH APPLICATION TO REPAIR PIECES OF AUTO INDUSTRY by Gheorghe AMZA

“…One problem is that the presence of detonation ultra-dispersed diamonds in the grain metal coating of diamond powders not only improves the coating functional reliability in protection from destruction in the subsequent pressing and sintering in the production tool, but also resistance of such coating to the opening of the diamond cutting basis of the grains on the grinding wheel working surface that come into working contact with the material being processed. An analysis of the features of an effective exploitative destruction of detonation ultra-dispersed diamonds in the metal coating using electric current in the tool of the diamondspark grinding processes is presented.…”

Experiences of south Asian key workers in COVID-19 lockdowns in the United Kingdom by Rizwana Yousaf, Tipu Sultan

“…They were holding a lot of grievances and hurt inside due to long existing inequalities in the society, where many highly educated and skilled individuals were unable to get stable and secure employments, despite the health vulnerabilities, South Asian key workers worked through the Covid-19 lockdowns to overcome difficulties stem from precarious work. Although currently coping with increased debts, economic burdens and long COVID symptoms, comprehensive job security and entitlement to secure contracts with provisions to sick leaves and pays should be made available to address economic vulnerabilities of south Asian key workers.…”

The Beveled Rim Technique for Labral Reconstruction by Ady H. Kahana-Rojkind, M.D., Jessica C. Keane, B.S., Yasemin E. Kingham, B.A., Roger Quesada-Jimenez, M.D., Tyler R. McCarroll, M.D., Benjamin G. Domb, M.D.

“…The aim of this Technical Note is to present an improvement to the current arthroscopic rim preparation technique. The technique involves creating an inward beveled acetabular rim to increase the contact area of the graft on the femoral head, in order to create a greater suction seal and strategically distribute the forces generated during femoral head distraction onto both the labral graft and the acetabular rim.…”
