Transfemoral sockets were originally constructed from wood or hard plastic laminates (Radcliffe, 1955). More recently, thermoplastics and acrylic resins with carbon fiber or other woven materials have been used (Ng, 2002). Although these materials achieve suitable load transmission between the residual limb and the prosthesis, their rigidity prevent the sockets from dynamically conforming to ch...

there are various parameters that affect stability and expansion of failure zones in under pressure tunnels. among the important parameters that affect failure zones around the tunnels are cohesion and internal friction angle of the rock mass. in addition, the cross sectional shape is the considerable point in failure distribution around the tunnels. the stress analysis method is one of the app...

During the period 1938-70 there were 303 patients at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, diagnosed as suffering from Crohn's disease. Of these, 82 have been excluded, leaving 221 with a firm diagnosis. These patients have been divided into 'new cases', in which the disease was diagnosed at the Radcliffe Infirmary, and 'referred cases' in which the diagnosis was already made at the time of referral...

Recently Cutler and Radcliffe proved that the graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $r$ having cliques is a disjoint union of $\lfloor n/(r+1)\rfloor$ size $r+1$ together clique remainder vertices. It very natural also to consider this question when limiting resource edges rather than In paper we prove among graphs $m$ $r$, has least two $\bigl\lfloor m \bigm/\binom{r+1}{2} \bigr\rf...

Let G be a random graph on the vertex set {1, 2, . . . , n} such that edges in G are determined by independent random indicator variables, while the probabilities pij for {i, j} being an edge in G are not assumed to be equal. Spectra of the adjacency matrix and the normalized Laplacian matrix of G are recently studied by Oliveira and Chung-Radcliffe. Let A be the adjacency matrix of G, Ā = E(A)...

The patallar-tendon-bearing supracondy­ lar, suprapatellar air cushion (PTS-AC) below-knee (BK) prosthesis is a special modi­ fication of the supracondylar, suprapatellar suspension and the air cusion socket. The air cushion principle in combination with the patella tendon-bearing (PTB) prosthesis was introduced by Lyquist, Wilson, and Radcliffe (Fig. 1), (2) in 1965. It requires more accurate ...

We present a connection between two seemingly disparate fields: VC-theory and graph theory. This connection yields natural correspondences between fundamental concepts in VC-theory, such as shattering and VC-dimension, and well-studied concepts of graph theory related to connectivity, combinatorial optimization, forbidden subgraphs, and others. In one direction, we use this connection to derive...

The Radcliffe Wave (RW) is a recently discovered sinusoidal vertical feature of dense gas in the proximity Sun. In disk plane, it aligned with Local Arm. However, origin its undulation still unknown. This study constrains kinematics RW, using young stars and open clusters as tracers, explores possibility this oscillation being part more extended mode. We median velocity trends along RW extend f...
