The discourse function of the syntactic construction left dislocation in English has received significant attention. Prior research has identified at least three distinct form-function correlations underlying left dislocation. This paper examines left dislocation tokens from a corpus of spoken English recorded in South Philadelphia. From this emerges a fourth type of left dislocation not previo...

The motion of dislocations in irradiated materials has unique features that are not seen in unirradiated materials undergoing plastic deformation. In the present work, we show dislocation dynamics studies that reveal the single and collective aspects of dislocation motion in materials under displacement cascade damage. First, we investigate the dynamics of dislocation interaction with irradiati...

BACKGROUND Lens dislocation is a common disease in ophthalmology, which leads to vision loss, while the lens dislocation caused by vomiting has not been reported yet. We report a case of lens dislocation caused by simple vomiting. This case further implicated for the pathogenesis of lens dislocation. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old male who complained about "dizziness, vomiting, and the visio...

Dislocation bias factors in bcc Fe have been calculated based on atomistic interaction energy maps on three kinds of dislocations, namely the a0/2〈111〉{110} screw, a0/2〈111〉{110} and a0〈100〉{001} edge dislocations. The results show that the dislocation bias is higher for the a0/2〈111〉 edge dislocation than for the a0〈100〉 edge dislocation, even though the latter possesses a larger Burgers vecto...

The main study objective was to determine if experienced emergency physicians can accurately identify a subgroup of patients with anterior shoulder dislocation for whom prereduction radiographs do not alter patient management. Our prospective study evaluated 97 patients who presented to 2 ski-hill clinics and to our rural emergency department with possible shoulder dislocation between November ...

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation has not previously been reported as a complication of beta-blocker toxicity. We are reporting two cases of TMJ dislocation resulted from acute severe intoxication with pure propranolol (PPL) for the first time. Bilateral TMJ dislocation happened in two patients who were admitted to intensive care unit with diagnosis of severe acute PPL toxicity. Clinica...

Dutch uses a variety of strategies to dislocate (or seemingly dislocate) elements from the main proposition. Next to potentially sentence-internal dislocations such as appositions and parentheses, the following types of peripheral dislocation exist: contrastive left-dislocation (CLD), hanging topic left-dislocation (HTLD), backgrounding right-dislocation (BRD), and afterthoughts (AFT); these ar...

We have studied fracture-dislocation of the fifth lumbar vertebra in seven patients and reviewed 50 previously reported cases. Based on this information, we have classified the injury into five types: type 1, unilateral lumbosacral facet-dislocation with or without facet fracture; type 2, bilateral lumbosacral facet-dislocation with or without facet fracture; type 3, unilateral lumbosacral face...

A (microscopic) static elastoplastic field theory of dislocations with moment and force stresses is considered. The relationship between the moment stress and the Nye tensor is used for the dislocation Lagrangian. We discuss the stress field of an infinitely long screw dislocation in a cylinder, a dipole of screw dislocations and a coaxial screw dislocation in a finite cylinder. The stress fiel...

Anterior hip dislocation is much less frequent when compared with posterior dislocation of the hip joint, with open dislocation being still rarer. We report a case of an open anterior hip dislocation in a 23-year-old male who presented to us in the emergency department, and also present a review of the literature.
