A modification of the Duformentel and Mouly split sliding flap
Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery
|February 1, 1986
Abstract:
A modification of the Duformentel and Mouly split sliding flap technique is described. This technique does not create a dog ear compared to the original split sliding flap, and leaves a Z-scar, which runs in a similar direction to the wrinkle lines. Skin tension after suture is dispersed equally in the horizontal and vertical planes, so that an inconspicuous scar will result. This technique is excellent for the repair of skin defects on the face.

Wedges
A wedge is a simple machine that serves various purposes, such as adjusting the elevation of structural or mechanical parts, providing stability for heavy objects, and splitting a body into two parts. This versatile tool can amplify an applied force, making it easier to manipulate large or heavy objects.
Consider using a wedge to lift a heavy slab. Here, the wedge functions by converting the applied force into a much larger force directed almost perpendicular to the initial force. This...

Design Example: Forces in Sluice Gate
In hydraulic engineering, sluice gates are essential for managing water flow through channels, reservoirs, and irrigation systems. Sluice gates, acting as vertical barriers, regulate water by adjusting the gate's opening height, which changes the velocity and pressure of water flowing beneath the gate. Understanding the forces involved is crucial to designing sluice gates that can withstand dynamic pressure differences, especially when the gate is closed or partially open.
