Abstract. Transform margins represent ∼ 30 % of non-convergent worldwide. Their formation and evolution have traditionally been addressed through kinematic models that do not account for the mechanical behaviour lithosphere. In this study, we use high-resolution 3D numerical thermo-mechanical modelling to simulate investigate intra-continental strain localization under oblique extension. The ob...

BACKGROUND During the last years, terms like acetabular retroversion, excessive overcoverage, and abnormal head-neck-junction with the so called "pistol-grip-deformity" has been added to the classical description of hip dysplasia. These anatomical changes could lead to a femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Both kinds of FAI has been indentified as a main reason for hip pain and progressive dege...

THA was described as ‘‘The operation of the century’’ [13]. Despite success of the procedure for patients with idiopathic or traumatic degenerative arthritis, hip replacement for congenital dislocation or subluxation was controversial as late as the 1970s [3, 6, 8, 13]. Different anatomic characteristics observed on AP radiographs of the pelvis historically were used to assess the degree of ace...

The pattern-matching algorithms originally developed for Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) (flying on the Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra platform) cloud retrieval have also proven useful in independently providing quality assurance of the coregistration of multiangle measurements with the nadir view. Two new techniques developed to test the coregistration are described in this pa...

OBJECTIVE To develop an algorithm to measure the dimensions of an airway oriented obliquely on a volumetric CT, as well as assess the effect of the imaging parameters on the correct measurement of the airway dimension. MATERIALS AND METHODS An airway phantom with 11 poly-acryl tubes of various lumen diameters and wall thicknesses was scanned using a 16-MDCT (multidetector CT) at various tilt ...

PURPOSE To assess the lower-limb alignment and posterior tibial slope in Pakistanis. METHODS 40 male and 19 female healthy Pakistanis aged 20 to 45 years were recruited. A full weight-bearing anteroposterior radiograph of the entire lower limb of each subject was obtained. The axial alignment was measured based on the centres of the femoral head, knee, and ankle. The tibiofemoral (TF) angle, ...

We carried out a cross-sectional study to measure the association of the seven acetabular parameters with pelvic morphometry and prevalence of hip dysplasia in our population. Convenience sampling was carried out and 250 consecutive patients who came to AKUH for intravenous pyelogram and had no complaints in the region of the hip joint were enrolled in the study. Post-micturition standardized p...

The angle between the rotation and orbital axes of stars in binary systems -- obliquity is an important indicator how these form evolve but few such measurements exist. We combine sample astrometric inclinations from Gaia DR3 with a solar-like oscillators which rotational have been measured using asteroseismology. supplement our one whose visual orbit has determined speckle interferometry prese...
