The goal of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the lesser trochanter for entry of lag screw placement in the fixation of hip fractures. Radiographs of the pelvis with both hips in 50 Chinese patients were analyzed to determine the accuracy of using the lesser trochanter as a reference landmark for inserting lag screws. The femoral neck was divided into 4 parts, and the second distal par...

The electron Monte Carlo (eMC) dose calculation algorithm of the Eclipse treatment planning system is based heavily upon Monte Carlo simulation of the linac head and modeling of the linac beam characteristics with minimal measurement of beam data. Commissioning of the eMC algorithm on multiple identical linacs provided a unique opportunity to systematically evaluate the algorithm with actual me...

The aim of the present work is to carry out free surface flow in a Pelton turbine bucket. Steady state numerical simulation has been done for single bucket, this fixed configuration bucket considered. dimensions are be varied same conditions discharge, head, and inclination jet. analysis performed with FLUENT code. results provided by compared two profiles buckets. patterns buckets analyzed fro...

Recent wide spreads between boxed beef cutout values and fed cattle prices have reignited producers' long-held concerns about price discovery. The recent led to policy proposals meant increase negotiated trade volumes in the cash market. We determine how volume, day of week, sex, grade, weight range, other factors impact ranges find many factors, addition sales can ranges. analysis provides ins...
