Experimental and numerical simulation dataset of a ferrocement wall subjected to fully-reversed cyclic load test.

The need for affordable housing in developing countries requires the development and use of new structural systems that allow easy, fast, and cheap construction while providing a sufficient seismic performance to protect the life and belongings of the population. In this regard, structural wall systems based on ferrocement have proved to be a feasible option to meet these criteria. Ferrocement is a construction system composed of mortar (i.

Radiochemical characterisation, heavy metal determination and morphologic evolution of coastal sediments in the Ravenna area (Italy).

The basic aim of this work was to achieve a preliminary but integrated characterisation of an area of the Ravenna littoral coastline. The use of suitable computerised procedures has allowed the reconstruction of the morphological evolution of this area by means of historical and recent cartography. Coastal sediments were characterised by sampling 3 cores at about 2 km offshore.

The distal pedicle fascia flap of the leg.

An anatomical study was undertaken in order to obtain data on the vascularity of the posterior fascia of the leg. Injection studies revealed there to be three "distal" pedicles; one between the peroneal and soleus muscles, emerging 10-15 cm above the lateral malleolus and two other, smaller ones, 5 cm above the medial and lateral malleolus. Clinical experience included seven cases: five with trauma and two with varicose ulcers.
