The aim of the present study was to evaluate the flap of parietal peritoneum for replacement of the inferior vena cava as interposition graft in dogs during an observation period of two months. Background: The development of reconstructive venous surgery has been hampered by the lack of suitable graft. Patency rates with grafts in the venous system are commonly less satisfactory than in the arterial system, mainly due to non-pulsatile flow velocity and the low pressure in veins.

Developers have liberty to choose developing various types of landed properties according to the situation and opportunities presented to them. However, many questions can be raised as to why and how an informal settlement can be a preferred choice for developing landed properties. This paper focuses on the types of landed properties developers choose to develop in informal settlements.

In this paper, we have discussed Length biased distribution arise when the probability of inclusion of population unit in sample is related to the value of the variable measured. For example in textile sampling modeling, Cox(1969). In this paper the appropriateness of a length biased Maxwell distribution has been given. The minimum risk estimator of its scale has been obtained under entropy loss function with the help of a type II censored sample. We have obtained that the MELO estimator is nothing but the usual maximum likelihood estimator.

One of the most important factors during the process of comminution of minerals is their power consumption rate, which is determined by calculating the WI (work index), which in short is to analyze the amount of kWh consumed per ton of material, to reach a certain particle size and achieve the desired. Along with the quality of the ore is defined and use the classification of the ore. Ores of jaspelite type, high hardness, and with lower iron content 60% with silica content above 10.5%, tends to be considered economically unsuitable for merger cases in the Brazilian market.
