Shape Optimization of Costal Cartilage Framework Fabrication Based on Finite Element Analysis for Reducing Incidence of Auricular Reconstruction Complications

Skin necrosis is the most common complication in total auricular reconstruction, which is mainly induced by vascular compromise and local stress concentration of the overlying skin.Previous studies generally emphasized the increase in the skin flap blood supply, while few reports considered the mechanical factors.However, skin injury is inevitable

Contribution of genes related to grain number (Gn1a and WFP) introgressed into NERICA 1 to grain yield under tropical highland conditions in central Kenya

ABSTRACTIn Kenya and many other African countries, improving rice productivity is vital for future food security.To improve rice productivity in Nail Polish Kenya, near-isogenic lines (NIL) were developed by introducing Gn1a and WFP, genes that function to increase grain number per panicle by increasing secondary and primary rachis-branches, into N
