Tapering is a common morphological modification to ensure the stability of civil structures, especially as more and high-rise buildings push skyline modern cities. However, aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, fluid-structure-interaction tapering remain far from been fully understood. Through wind tunnel tests, present work offers some notable observations on effects tapering, specifically considering...

conclusions the treatment reported for reattachment of the tooth fractures and post and core techniques are reasonably easy while providing immediate and lasting results in patients’ regaining of social confidence and functionality. introduction the fracture of front teeth is one of the routine presentations of traumatic injuries. the treatment of a fractured tooth involving the pulp includes r...

OBJECTIVES To report visual acuity (VA) measured by Teller Acuity Cards (TACs) and a new Light Perception/Projection (LPP) Scale in infants with regressed or treated stage 3, 4, or 5 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and to compare VA in eyes that underwent successful vitreoretinal surgery for stage 5 ROP with eyes with persistent retinal detachment. METHODS Nineteen infants (35 eyes) underwe...

INTRODUCTION The medial and lateral canthal ligaments represent fibrous condensations of tissue anchoring the tarsal plates to the medial and lateral orbital rims. The medial canthal ligament extends anteriorly to the anterior lacrimal crest, posteriorly to the posterior lacrimal crest, and superiorly along the frontal process of the maxilla and the frontal bone. The medial canthal ligament’s m...

The tail (caudal fin) is one of the most prominent characteristics of fishes, and the analysis of the flow pattern it creates is fundamental to understanding how its motion generates locomotor forces. A mechanism that is known to greatly enhance locomotor forces in insect and bird flight is the leading edge vortex (LEV) reattachment, i.e. a vortex (separation bubble) that stays attached at the ...

Background Since 1998, we treated 25 wrists with foveal detachment of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) by our original reattachment technique using a half-slip of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon with a very small titanium interference screw. We examine the clinical outcome of this procedure with a minimum of 2 years follow-up. Patients and Methods There were 25 wrists of 24 ...
