Spatially homogeneous Lifshitz black holes in five dimensional higher derivative gravity
We consider spatially homogeneous Lifshitz black hole solutions in five
dimensional higher derivative gravity theories, which can be possible near
horizon geometries of some systems that are interesting in the framework of
gauge/gravity duality. We show the solutions belonging to the nine Bianchi
classes in the pure R^2 gravity. We find that these black holes have zero
entropy at non-zero temperatures and this property is the same as the case of
BTZ black holes in new massive gravity at the critical point. In the most
general quadratic curvature gravity theories, we find new solutions in Bianchi
Type I and Type IX cases.Comment: 15 pages, no figure; v2, refs added, version to appear in JHE
Lifshitz black holes in Brans-Dicke theory
We present an exact asymptotically Lifshitz black hole solution in
Brans-Dicke theory of gravity in arbitrary dimensions in presence of
a power-law potential. In this solution, the dynamical exponent is
determined in terms of the Brans-Dicke parameter and . Asymptotic
Lifshitz condition at infinity requires , which corresponds to
. On the other hand, the no-ghost condition
for the scalar field in the Einstein frame requires . We
compute the Hawking temperature of the black hole solution and discuss the
problems encountered and the proposals in defining its thermodynamic
properties. A generalized solution charged under the Maxwell field is also
presented.Comment: 32 pages, no figure. v2: revised version. Section 3.1 and Appendix B

Use of intramedullary fully-threaded pins in the fixation of feline and canine humeral, femoral and tibial fractures
Intramedullary fully-threaded pins were manufactured from an alloy of titanium, aluminium and vanadium in a fully-threaded style. Pins were produced in various diameters, ranging from 4 mm to 11 mm. Pin lengths varied from 5 cm to 22 cm. The proximal end of the pins was designed to fit into a hexagonal screwdriver, while the distal end was slightly tapered to allow for ease of entry into cancellous bone
