Purpose To assess graft slippage at the site of femoral fixation by follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a four-strand autogenous hamstring tendon using RigidFix (DePuy Mitek). Materials and Methods Twenty-one subjects diagnosed with ACL rupture underwent ACL reconstruction using hamstring autograft with the transtibial techniqu...

Buying or selling assets leads to transaction costs for the investor. On one hand, it is well know to all market practionaires that the transaction costs are positive on average and present therefore systematic loss. On the other hand, for every trade, there is a buy side and a sell side, the total amount of asset and the total amount of cash is conserved. I show, that the apparently paradoxica...

This paper proposes a construction technology for the precision control of pedestal table and overall tensioning method composite beam steel strand Given because critical technical issues, such as deformation cracking during prestressed production process, group tensioning, bar slippage. Reinforcement fixing device research development node reinforcement arrangement its technologies based on BI...

Painlevé paradox occurs in rigid-body dynamics of mechanical systems with frictional contacts at configurations where the instantaneous solution is either indeterminate or inconsistent. Dynamic jamming is a scenario where the solution starts with consistent slippage and then converges in finite time to a configuration of inconsistency while the contact force grows unbounded. The goal of this pa...

Microsatellites are composed of short tandem direct repeats; deletions or duplications of those repeats through the process of replication slippage result in microsatellite instability relative to other genomic loci. Variation in repeat number occurs so frequently that microsatellites can be used for genotyping and forensic analysis. However, an accurate assessment of the rates of change can be...

Slippage is an important sequencing problem that can occur in EST projects. However, there are very few studies about it. In this work we propose three new methods to detect slippage artifacts: “Arithmetic Mean Method”, “Geometric Mean Method”, and “Echo Coverage Method”. Each method is simple and has two different strategies for processing sequences: suffix and subsequence. Using the 291689 ES...

Microtubule poisons inhibit spindle function, leading to activation of spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) and mitotic arrest. Cell death occurring in prolonged mitosis is the first target of microtubule poisons in cancer therapies. However, even in the presence of microtubule poisons, SAC and mitotic arrest are not permanent, and the surviving cells exit the mitosis without cytokinesis (mitotic ...
