CONTEXT There exists controversy on the ability of a single or double anterior cruciate ligament graft technique to restore anterior cruciate ligament function. This article examines the published experimental and clinical data supporting these surgical procedures in the ability to restore knee stability. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION An analysis of anterior cruciate ligament function and single- and ...

In this study, we characterized the rotational efficiency of the photo-driven Archimedes screw. The micron-sized Archimedes screws were fabricated using the two-photon polymerization technique. Free-floating screws trapped by optical tweezers align in the laser irradiation direction and rotate spontaneously. The influences of the screw pitch and the number of screw blades have been investigated...

This paper discusses the effective length factor of columns in Khorjini frames. In order to find this factor, a proper approximated method is proposed. In addition, accurate analysis is performed and the results are compared with those from the proposed technique. The comparison demonstrates the accuracy of presented FORMULATIONS. The proposed method is similar to Julian and Lawrence's, which i...

This paper evaluates the secure level of authenticated encryption Ascon against cube-like method. Ascon submitted by Dobraunig et al. is one of 16 survivors of the 3rd round CAESAR competition. The cube-like method is first used by Dinur et al. to analyze Keccak keyed modes. At CT-RSA 2015, Dobraunig et al. applied this method to 5/6-round reduced Ascon, whose structure is similar to Keccak key...

Thermometry of an oxy-acetylene flame using multiplex Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing (DFWM) of C2 is demonstrated. More than 100 rotational transitions in the d3Hg ~ a3H,, (0, 0) Swan band of C2 could be recorded simultaneously by use of a pulsed, broad bandwidth "modeless" laser. Temperatures were inferred by fitting temperature-dependent synthetic spectra of singleor multiple-shot averaged spect...

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) involving the anomalous coronary artery is challenging with respect to difficulty in achieving stable catheterization. Rotational atherectomy (RA) can facilitate severely calcified lesions to improve stent delivery and stent expansion; however, its utility in tortuous and angulated coronary arteries is limited with difficulty in delivery of the RA burr. ...

I am developing a new program to use microwave and millimeter-wave rotational spectroscopy to probe stable and reactive species relevant to combustion chemistry, and to use this capability to study reaction dynamics and kinetics. Rotational spectroscopy is known for its unsurpassed resolution and precision in determining molecular structure. The program will be based on chirped-pulse Fourier tr...

In this study, we tried to understand the difference in mechanical properties (elastic modulus, E & hardness, H) values of CIGS compound semiconductors measured using Berkovich indenter and sharper cube corner conical indenter. Adopted continuous stiffness measurement technique characterize it along with indentation depth. The depth was up 1000 nm, H w ere obtained according projected conta...
