متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

متن کاملCost analysis of primary total hip replacement.
Arthritis of the hip is a cause of significant morbidity to the sufferer, for which total hip replacement is firmly established as an effective treatment. In order to assess the cost utility and benefit of total hip replacement, we compared the costs incurred to the health benefit accrued as measured by improvement in pre to post operative Harris hip scores, WOMAC osteoarthritis indices and SF ...
