Abstract Objective To provide guidelines for surgery and reduce the incidence of fracture, this study analyzed relationship between femoral fracture related factors in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) lateral decubitus position. Method A retrospective series 273 consecutive patients who underwent THA with DAA position was analyzed. Each performed by same surgeon a con...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plants in open, uncrowded habitats typically have relatively short stems with many branches, whereas plants in crowded habitats grow taller and more slender at the expense of mechanical stability. There seems to be a trade-off between height growth and mechanical stability, and this study addresses how stand density influences stem extension and consequently plant safety mar...

BackgroundHumeral stem designs for total shoulder arthroplasty have varied over the years, with a recent trend toward shorter stems. The purpose of this study was to examine impact humeral component length on ability restore native head anatomy.MethodsWe performed retrospective review including patients who underwent primary osteoarthritis between 2007 and 2017 complete operative reports adequa...

Estimation of vegetation water content (VWC) by optical remote sensing improves soil moisture retrievals from passive microwave radiometry. For a variety of vegetation types, the largest unknown for predicting VWC is stem water content, which is assumed to be allometrically related to the water content of the plant canopy. For maize and soybean, measured stem water contents were highly correlat...

The study highlights a new method for the delineation of tree crowns and the detection of stem positions of single trees from dense airborne LIDAR data. At first, we combine a method for surface reconstruction, which robustly interpolates the canopy height model (CHM) from the LIDAR data, with a watershed algorithm. Stem positions of the tallest trees in the tree segments are subsequently deriv...

Eighty-four mature Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst), silver fir (Abies alba Mill) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees were winched over to determine the maximum resistive turning moment (M(a)) of the root-soil system, the root-soil plate geometry, the azimuthal orientation of root growth, and the occurrence of root rot. The calculation of M(a), based on digital image tracking of stem...

peanut shelles as a waste of cultivated peanuts are produced in a considerable amount in guilan province, iran, that its compost can be used as an available resource in replacement of peat as growth medium of ornamental plants.this experiment was carried out to determine the possibility using of peanut shells compost as an appropriate medium of dracaena. the control treatment was a medium of pe...

Temperature changes occur in nature faster than other stressors. Plants due to inability to move and change their position, are exposed to extensive variations in daily or seasonal temperature, and therefore, should quickly and effectively adapt to temperature stress. In order to study the effects of heat stress on physiological traits of forage maize hybrids, a factorial split plot experiment ...
