Rigid monopiles with small slenderness ratios (i.e., ratio of monopile embedded length to outer diameter) are widely used as foundations resist lateral load and moment transferred from superstructures, e.g., large diameter steel pipes by offshore wind turbines piers in electric utility industry or sound barriers. A design model for laterally loaded rigid cohesive soil is presented this paper. T...

Segmental kinematics were investigated in horses during overground locomotion and compared with published reports on humans and other primates to determine the impact of a large neck on rotational mobility (> 20 deg.) and stability (< or = 20 deg.) of the head and trunk. Three adult horses (Equus caballus) performing walks, trots and canters were videotaped in lateral view. Data analysis includ...

STUDY DESIGN Twenty healthy volunteers were subjected to left lateral impacts, randomly looking either left or right. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to determine the response of the cervical muscles to lateral impact whiplash-type perturbations when the head is rotated at the time of impact. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA A previous study of left lateral impacts with head in neutral po...

Two new species of Hymenocephalus are described from the New Zealand region and Tasman Sea. Hymenocephalus fuscus sp. n. has 11-12 pelvic fin rays, is darkly pigmented, with enlarged bony ridges on the dorsal aspects of head, lacks a chin barbel, has few (16-19) gill rakers on inner side of first arch and is similar to other species in the H. aterrimus species group. Hymenocephalus maculicaudus...

Root formation and root architecture of olive microshoots, inoculated or not with Pseudomonas fluorescent P19 or P21, were evaluated by measuring of length and the numbers of adventitious and lateral roots. Three-four nodal in vitro shoots were treated with different population densities (0, 105, 108 CFUml-1) of rhizobacteria. The density of 108 CFUmgl-1 induced almost two times increase in num...

Introduction Gastrocnemius is the most superficial muscle of the posterior crural region. It arises by two tendinous heads from the femur. The lateral head originates from the lateral surface of the lateral condyle and the medial head originates from a rough area on the popliteal surface above the medial condyle. The lateral head frequently contains a small sesamoid bone, the fabella. The media...

factor  is introduced for direct head loss calculation and sizing in dual-diameter laterals of sprinkler and trickle irrigation systems when the hazen-williams equation is to be applied. application of this factor prevents trial and error and uses fewer head-loss equations in calculating the total friction loss and designing dual-diameter laterals. the proposed factor is a function of total num...

There are three main patterns of complex elbow instability: posterolateral (terrible triad), varus posteromedial (anteromedial coronoid fracture with lateral collateral ligament complex disruption), and trans-olecranon fracture dislocations.Radial head fractures, in the setting of complex elbow instability, often require internal fixation or arthroplasty; the outcome of radial head replacement ...

This paper tests the suggestion put forth by Tanner (' 5 5) and Eichorn and Bayley ('62) to the effect that the brain participates i n the parapubertal spurt of growth which characterizes many of the dimensions of the human body. To this end, longitudinal data consisting of oriented head roentgenograms of 11 boys were examined. Two measurements were taken directly from each lateral head film: (...
