The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is composed of two bundles, which work together to provide both antero-posterior and rotatory stability of the knee. Understanding the anatomy and function of the ACL plays a key role in management of patients with ACL injury. Anatomic ACL reconstruction aims to restore the function of the native ACL. Femoral and tibial tunnels should be placed in their an...

bendway weirs are an important tool in multi-purpose erosion control and are implemented to control erosion, restore streams, and improve habitat. these structures create a hydraulic effect that reduces erosion on the outer bank of a bend by reducing flow velocities near the outer bank and reduce the concentration of currents on the outer bank creating better current alignment through the bend....

Abstract BBoxDB Streams is a distributed stream processing system, which allows the handling of multi-dimensional data. Multi-dimensional streams consist n -dimensional elements, such as position data (e.g., two-dimensional positions cars or three-dimensional aircraft). The software an enhancement BBoxDB, key-bounding-box-value store that big supports continuous range queries and spatial joins;...

Beaver mimicry is a fast-growing conservation technique to restore streams and manage water that gaining popularity within the natural resource management community because of wide variety claimed socio-environmental benefits. Despite growing number projects, many questions concerns about beaver remain. This study draws on qualitative data from 49 interviews with scientists, practitioners, land...

Membrane Condenser (MC) is a novel membrane contactor operation recently investigated for the valorization of industrial waste gaseous streams. In particular, until now, it was applied for water recovery from flue gas, cooling tower plumes, etc. More recently, its effectiveness and flexibility in contaminants (such as, NH3 , HF, SO2 ) removal and control from waste gaseous streams was also prov...
