The increasing anthropogenic impact on landscapes globally has increased interest in assessing landscape naturalness. This study assessed the changes land cover Lithuania and identified most common reasons for land-use change. Coordination of Environment Information (CORINE) land-cover data were used to assess naturalness from 1995 2018. Land-cover types ranked according hemeroby index, ranging...

In 1934, fractures of the middle and distal third of the radius associated with instability of the distal radial ulnar joint (DRUJ) were described by Galeazzi. This type of lesion is characterized by its unstable nature and the need for open reduction and internal fixation to achieve a satisfactory functional outcome. A high index of suspicion should be maintained by the surgeon, and a thorough...

BACKGROUND The assessment and classification of trochlear dysplasia in pediatric patients has yet to be well documented or validated. PURPOSE To examine several different measurements/classifications of trochlear dysplasia in skeletally immature patients to assess inter- and intraobserver reliability and to determine which best correlates with patellar instability. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study...

Voltage instability is one phenomenon that could happen in power system due to its stressed condition. The result would be the occurrence of voltage collapse which leads to total blackout to the whole system. Therefore voltage collapse prediction is important in power system planning and operation. Line outage in power system could also lead to the event of voltage collapse which implies the co...

The surgical treatment of recurrent posterior shoulder instability via a posterior approach has had a variable degree of success reported in the literature with recurrence rates ranging between 8% and 45%. The purpose of this study was to review the results of posterior capsulorrhaphy in a consecutive series of patients with recurrent posterior instability. Seventeen consecutive patients underw...
