conclusions in treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures in middle-aged patients internal fixation with locking plates may be prefered to pin and plaster as the treatment of choice. results sf-36 test demonstrated a better general health (p < 0.001), mental health (p = 0.006), physical functioning (p < 0.001), social functioning (p < 0.001) and energy/fatigue (p < 0.001) in lcp group...

We study the unwheeled rational Kontsevich integral of torus knots. We give a precise formula for these invariants up to loop degree 3 and show that they appear as a coloring of simple diagrams. We show that they behave under cyclic branched coverings in a very simple way. Our proof is combinatorial: it uses the results of Wheels and Wheelings and new decorations of diagrams.

We present a family of tractable dynamic global games and its applications. Agents privately learn about a fixed fundamental, and repeatedly adjust their investments while facing frictions. The game exhibits many externalities: payoffs may depend on the volume of investment, on its volatility, and on its concentration. The solution is driven by an invariance result: aggregate investment is (in ...

In this work labeling of planar graphs is taken up which involves labeling the p vertices, the q edges and the f internal faces such that the weights of the faces form an arithmetic progression with common difference d. If d = 0, then the planar graph is said to have an Inner Magic labeling; and if d = 0, then it is Inner Antimagic labeling. Some new kinds of graphs have been developed which ha...

Local design and optimization of the components of a fault-management system results in sub-optimal decisions. This means that the target system will likely not meet its objectives (under-performs) or cost too much if conditions, objectives, or constraints change. We can fix this by applying a nested, management system for the fault-management system itself. We believe that doing so will produc...

We conjecture an exact formula for the Kontsevich integral of the unknot, and also conjecture a formula (also conjectured independently by Deligne [De]) for the relation between the two natural products on the space of Chinese characters. The two formulas use the related notions of “Wheels” and “Wheeling”. We prove these formulas ‘on the level of Lie algebras’ using standard techniques from the...

Stress concentration and large displacements are usual problems in the components of the structure of agricultural machinery such harvesters coffee, and that finite element method (FEM) can be a tool to minimize its effects. The goal of this paper is to get results of stresses and displacements of a coffee harvester structure by using FEM for static simulation. The main parts of the coffee harv...

This paper discusses the mechanical design and simulation of a novel omnidirectional wheel based on Reuleaux-triangles. The main feature of our omniwheel is that the point of contact of the wheel with the floor is always at the same distance from the center of rotation. This produces smooth translational movement on a flat surface, even when the profile of the complete wheel assembly has gaps b...
