Abstract: Fragility is a concept that is often correlated with glass formability. It is generally defined in terms of dynamical aspects of the liquid, usually based on the rate of increase of the viscosity as a function of the inverse temperature scaled to the glass transition temperature, Tg (i.e. Tg/T). Our experimental studies of the temperature dependence of the liquid structure factor, S(q...

S 677 speculations as to the nature of the blood disorder, suggesting a congenital error of iron metabolism possibly involving faulty stromato-hemoglobin bindings, are advanced. CM.

Pointcut fragility is a well-documented problem of AspectOriented Programming with changes to the base-code causing join points to incorrectly fall in or out of scope. In order to combat this problem a tool was developed that provides mechanical assistance to pointcut maintenance. This tool relied on the deep structural commonalities between program elements to detect when pointcut fragility oc...

It is well known that one fragility fracture begets another. Fracture Liaison Services have been shown to narrow the care gap that exists in the care of patients with fragility fractures. A secondary fracture prevention programme "OPTIMAL" (Osteoporosis Patient Targeted and Integrated Management for Active Living) has been in existence in the public restructured hospitals and polyclinics of Sin...

The novel coronavirus-induced infection (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization onMarch 11, 2020. Iran is one of the countries with a high incidence of COVID-19 infection.Data on three patients with fragility hip fracture and COVID-19 infection were collected from one hospital located inBadrud, Isfahan, Iran, from March 1, 2010, to March 30, 2020. A...

 Many existing bridges were designed without adequate consideration of seismic risk. The full or partial collapse of even one major bridge in a city or community would have destroying results. There has been focuses on developing fragility-based seismic vulnerability of existing usual bridges in Iran or support decision making on seismic upgrade. This article focuses on developing performance b...

We briefly review our findings on the relationship between the fragility of glass formation and cooperative motion, focusing on a simple glass-forming polymer melt. We identify string-like cooperative motions with the hypothetical ‘cooperatively rearranging regions’ of the Adam-Gibbs (AG) description, thereby providing a molecular basis for this interpretation. Moreover, these strings can be de...

Our objective was to estimate the relationship between longitudinal change in BMD and fragility fractures. We studied 3635 women and 1417 men 50-85 yr of age in the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study who had at least two BMD measurements (lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip, and trochanter) within the first 5 yr of the study and fragility fractures (any, main, forearm/wrist, ribs, hip) w...
