The effect of electrically active VGa–ON threading edge dislocations on drift and Hall mobilities in n-type epitaxial wurtzite WZ GaN is investigated theoretically. The charge distribution along the dislocation core is first obtained by means of a density-functional theory atomistic calculation; the two N atoms near the missing Ga atom at the dislocation core are found to be electron acceptors....

During an eight month prospective study, 8240 newborns were examined for detection of congenital dislocation of the hip from Oct. 23, 1991 to June 22, 1992. On fIrst examination we found 1302 neonates (158/1000 live births) to have abnormal hips 1063 (81.6%) were prone to subluxation (subluxatable), 218 (16.81 %) prone to dislocation (dislocatable), 17 (1.3%) were dislocated and 4 (0.3%) w...

The problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. By using the Fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionally graded strip containing a screw dislocation. The stress components reveal the familiar Cauchy singularity at the location of dislocation. The solution is em...

  Congenital dislocation of the knee (CDK) is a rare disorder. We report the case of a 7-year-old girl with bilateral knee stiffness, marked anterior bowing of both legs, and inability to walk without aid. Radiologic investigation revealed bilateral knee joint dislocation accompanied by severe anterior bowing of both tibia proximally and posterior bowing of both femur distally, demonstrating ...

In 1994, a register for cerebral palsy and a health-care programme were started in southern Sweden with the aim of preventing dislocation of the hip in children with cerebral palsy. It involved all children with cerebral palsy born in 1992 or later. None of the 206 affected children born between 1992 and 1997 has developed a dislocation following the introduction of the prevention programme. An...

Case History associated with poor outcome because as the time interval between dislocation and reduction increases, incidence of Traumatic dislocation of hip in children is a rare entity complications like avascular necrosis of femoral head, accounting for less than 5% of pediatric dislocation and redislocation, heterotopic ossification and chondrolysis neglected post traumatic dislocation of h...

  this is a report of 2 very rare cases of Radio-ulnar dislocation-translocation in children from Kerman SHahid Bahonar haspital.this type of dislocation is very rare and only ten have been reported in the literature including  our report of two cases.in this type of dislocation the location of proximal ends of radius & ulna are altered,so that the capitellum articulates with the olecranon and...

This case is a 19-year-old soldier who suffered a combined elbow dislocation and posterior Monteggia fracture and dislocation (type II). The ulna fracture was managed by ORIF. The elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction and immobilization in 900 flexion. The posteriorly dislocated radial head was kept reduced by a transarticular pin. After 6 months elbow and forearm motion was restric...

This thesis consists of two parts. The first part explores a 2-d edge dislocation model to demonstrate characteristics of Field Dislocation Mechanics (FDM) in modeling single and collective behavior of individual dislocations. The second work explores the possibility of modelling adiabatic shear bands propagation within the timespace averaged framework of Mesoscopic Field Dislocation Mechanics ...

Mechanical obstacles may infrequently impede closed reduction of anterior shoulder dislocation. Imaging techniques such as arthrography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) complement conventional radiography by allowing identification of obstacles to reduction. We present a case of irreducible anterior glenohumeral dislocation resulting from an initial anterior disloc...
