After unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA), osteoarthritis (OA) in the non-operated knee often progresses. The altered gait mechanics exhibited by patients after TKA increase the loading on the non-operated knee and predispose it to disease progression. Therefore, our objective was to examine the potentially detrimental changes in frontal plane kinetics and kinematics during walking in pati...

Barrier algorithms are central to the performance of numerous algorithms on scalable, high-performance architectures. Numerous barrier algorithms have been suggested and studied for Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architectures, but less work has been done for Cache Only Memory Access (COMA) or attraction memory 2] architectures such as the KSR-1. In this paper, we present two new barrier algo...

Bandwidth-latency models are a group of performance models for parallel programs that focus on modeling the communication between the processes in terms of network bandwidth and latency, allowing quite precise performance estimations. While originally developed for distributed-memory architectures, these models also apply to machines with non-uniform memory access (NUMA), like the modern multi-...

it is difficult to develop an algorithm which is able to generate the appropriate mesh around the interfaces in bimaterials. in this study, a corresponding algorithm is proposed for this class of unified structures made from different materials with arbitrary shapes. the non-uniform mesh is generated adaptively based on advancing front technique available in abaqus software. implementing severa...

A unified analysis is presented for the elastic response of a pressurized cylindrically anisotropic hollow disk under assumed conditions of plane stress, or a hollow cylinder under plane strain conditions, and a spherically anisotropic hollow sphere, made of material which is nonuniform in the radial direction according to the power law relationship. The solution for a cylinder under generalize...

low molecular weight heparin-modified isoliquiritigenin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticle (lmwh-isl-sln) was developed for injective application. the morphological observation, particle diameter and zeta potential of lmwh-isl-sln were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (tem) and a malvern zetasizer. its entrapment efficiency (ee) and drug loading (dl) were determined by ultracen...
