[Clinical and morphological analysis of a case of retroperitoneal malakoplakia].

Malakoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disease that mainly affects the genitourinary system. A case of malakoplakia in the retroperitoneal space in a 53-year-old female patient with abdominal pain syndrome is presented. According to the results of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the abdominal organs and retroperitoneal space, the changes were assessed as nonspecific.

Detection of Pharmaceutical Personal Protective Equipment in Video Stream.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a complex process, where each stage requires a high level of safety and sterility. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used for this purpose. Despite all the measures of control, human factor (improper PPE wearing) causes numerous losses for human health and material property.

The Analysis of Stress Raisers Affecting the GFRP Strength at Quasi-Static and Cyclic Loads by the Theory of Critical Distances, Digital Image Correlation, and Acoustic Emission.

The purpose of this work is to analyze the stress-raisers that affect the tensile strength and fatigue resistance of GFRP parts using the point and line methods of the theory of critical distances (TCD) to obtain a quantitative measure of the defect size that can be tolerated by the composite before it fails. In the course of the work, a method combining TCD and the Weibull function was developed. In the course of the work, GFRP structural fiberglass for electrical purposes was tested under uniaxial quasi-static and cyclic loading with digital image correlation (DIC) and acoustic emission (AE), as well as a numerical simulation of deformation.

Evaluation of the Sensitivity of Various Reinforcement Patterns for Structural Carbon Fibers to Open Holes during Tensile Tests.

This paper is devoted to the experimental study of polymeric composite specimens, with various types of reinforcement, in order to evaluate the breaking strength of specimens with open holes when undergoing uniaxial compression and tensile tests. Four types of interlaced 3D woven preforms were considered (orthogonal, orthogonal combined, with pairwise inter-layer reinforcement, and with pairwise inter-layer reinforcement and a longitudinal layer), with a layered preform used for comparison. Tensile tests of solid specimens without a hole, under ASTM D 3039, and of specimens with an open hole, under ASTM D 5766, were carried out using the Instron 5989 universal electromechanical testing system.

Towards the indium nitride laser: obtaining infrared stimulated emission from planar monocrystalline InN structures.

The observation of a stimulated emission at interband transitions in monocrystalline n-InN layers under optical pumping is reported. The spectral position of the stimulated emission changes over a range of 1.64 to 1.
