Description and biomechanical evaluation of the modified laparoscopic-assisted percutaneous gastropexy technique in dogs by Dong Woo Kim, Ho Hyun Kwak, Ho Hyun Kwak, Junhyung Kim, Heung Myong Woo

“…BackgroundTotal laparoscopic gastropexy (TLG) has become increasingly popular due to its minimally invasive nature, requiring only three ports and no additional skin incisions aside from those for port placement. However, a notable limitation of TLG is the difficulty and time required for intracorporeal suturing. …”

Filles victimes, filles vicieuses, filles dangereuses by Hélène Duffuler-Vialle

“…The aims are different: to fight against regulation and even to support other feminist causes.At the national level, a penal policy to combat the prostitution of minors has existed since the beginning of the 19th century. At the end of the 19th century, the legislator no longer hesitated to introduce himself into the family sphere to control the education given to children by parents, with the possible sanction of deprivation of the rights of paternal power, especially if the child prostitutes himself. …”

Dynamic Characteristic Analysis of Two-stage Planetary Gear with Broken Tooth Fault based on ADAMS by Liu Xiaole, Liu Houguang, Cheng Gang, Xu Dan

“…Taking two-stage planetary gear of the cutting part of MG900 /2215-GWD shearer as study object,the dynamics analysis simulation of it is carried out by using virtual prototype technology.By comparing the meshing force curves in time domain and frequency domain of the health and several broken tooth fault of varying degrees,the dynamic response of two-stage planetary gear system under fault condition is analyzed.It can be found that under fault condition,the mesh force side bands of energy become intensive,and the intensity increases with the extent of the damage increase.The research results can provide a theoretical basis for two-stage planetary gear fault diagnosis and testing.…”
