Background: Various sizes of implants need to be available during surgery. The purpose of this paper is to comparebody height and shoe size with implant sizes in patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery to see whichbiomarker is a better predictor for preoperative planning to determine implant size.Methods: A total of 100 knees, belonging to 50 females and 50 males, were observed. P...

We prove that every height-2 finite poset with three or more points has an incomparable pair (.x, J) such that the proportion of all linear extensions of the poset in which s is less than y is between l/3 and 213. A related result of Koml6s says that the containment interval [l/3,2/3] shrinks to [l/2, l/2] in the limit as the width of height-2 posets becomes large. We conjecture that a poset de...

This paper addresses the following question: Given a planar poly-line drawing of a graph, can we “straighten it out”, i.e., convert it to a planar straight-line drawing, while keeping some features unchanged? We show that any y-monotone poly-line drawing can be straightened out while maintaining y-coordinates and height. The width may increase much, but we also show that on some graphs exponent...

We present an AI called Visuo that guesses quantitative visuospatial magnitudes (e.g., heights, lengths) given adjective-noun pairs as input (e.g., “big hat”). It uses a database of tagged images as memory and infers unexperienced magnitudes by analogy with semanticallyrelated concepts in memory. We show that transferring width-height ratios from a semantically-related concept yields significan...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the degree to which the height, width, and cross-section of rectangular and square orthodontic archwires affect the play between the archwires and the bracket slot. MATERIALS AND METHODS The stated measurements (height and width) of 43 archwires from six different manufacturers were compared with real values obtained using a digital gauge. The curvature (radius) of the e...
