Abstract Background Antibiotic-containing cement and bone graft substitute-coated orthopedic implants provide the advantages of simultaneous local antibiotic delivery and internal stable fixation, aiding in both infection eradication and osseous healing.Standardized protocols pertaining to implant coating techniques in various clinical and particul
Risk management (RM) is acknowledged as a key activity in project management in the pursuit to deliver successful construction projects.However, these projects are associated with various risks, which often jeopardise project performance, especially among small and medium construction enterprises (SMEs).Risk management practices (RMPs) have been de
AbstractWe show that a previously proposed algorithm for the N-best trees problem can be made more efficient by changing how it arranges and explores the search space.Given an integer N and a weighted tree automaton (wta) M over the tropical semiring, the algorithm computes N trees of minimal weight with respect to M.Compared with the original algo
