Deformation of a Composite Disk Having a Tapered Clamped Boundary
An out-of-plane displacement analysis is conducted on a circular composite disk in which a pre-stressed condition is created by clam** the specimen along a tapered boundary. This configuration is designed to...

Importance of cannulated prolactin test in the definition of hyperprolactinaemia
Recent guidelines suggest that a single prolactin measurement is adequate to confirm hyperprolactinaemia. This may lead to unnecessary investigation of artefactual hyperprolactinaemia. Prolactin measurement d...
