We present a mother and daughter with clinical and radiological findings consistent with the diagnosis of campomelic dysplasia. Milder tibial bowing and significant shortening of the phalangeal bones of both hands and feet may distinguish this from the classical autosomal recessive form of the disease.

The hardening which accompanies the plastic deformation of metals and all other crystalline materials is proposed to arise because the dislocations arrange themselves into gradually densifying networks, i.e. shorten in length, and therefore resist critical bowing-out, and hence further deformation, with increasing stress.

"Toddler's fracture" can be difficult to diagnose but should be suspected whenever a child presents to the accident and emergency department with a limp or fails to bear weight on the leg. Irritable hip and subacute osteomyelitis must feature in the differential diagnosis. The history may or may not include an obvious traumatic episode. Rather than fracture, elastic bowing of the bone and conse...

The transient behavior of a virtual bowed string is measured under different conditions of bow-force and bowvelocity onset. The results are compared with the constant-force, constant-velocity case, and with published physical measurements made using a bowing machine. Issues related to “playability” of virtual bowed-string instruments are discussed.

We discuss two prototype pedagogical applications that allow the study of string instrument bowing gesture using different motion capture technologies. Data exchange between the two applications is achieved using the Sound Description Interchange (SDIF) format which has, until now, been used primarily as a format for storing audio analysis data. We describe our method of storing motionand analy...
