The maximally extracted endophallus of Valgus hemipterus (Linnaeus, 1758) is described and illustrated for the first time.The endophallus is membranous, asymmetrical and divided into three discernible sections.Border between sections is indistinct, without strong constrictions.The first section is a small almost symmetrical chamber with two protrus

To handle the threaded holes in hard materials made of marine machinery, operating at high temperatures, heavy loads and in aggressive environments, the authors have developed the combined tool core drill -tap with a special cutting scheme, which has an asymmetric thread profile on the tap part.In order to control the average diameter of the thread

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a special radiotherapy technique used to irradiate intracranial lesions by 3-D arrangements of narrow photon beams eliminating the needs of invasive surgery.Three different tertiary collimators, namely BrainLab and Radionics circular cones and BrainLab micro multileaf collimator (mMLC), are used for linear acceler
