conclusions bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is very rare. the excessive traction force during closed reduction may lead to nerve palsy. clear documentation of neurovascular status and adequate imaging before and after a reduction should be performed. introduction unilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is one of the most common problems encountered in orthopedic practice. however, simu...

This paper studies the effect of word frequency and neighbourhood density on lexical tone merge in Dalian Mandarin. Monosyllabic words with two lexical falling tones (i.e. Tone1 and Tone 4) are produced by 60 native speakers from two different generations (middle-aged vs. young). The stimuli consist of three conditions: high neighbourhood density with high word frequency (HDHF), high neighbourh...

We have calculated the cosmic ray (CR) acceleration at young remnants from Type Ia supernovae expanding into a uniform interstellar medium (ISM). Adopting quasi-parallel magnetic fields, gasdynamic equations and the diffusion convection equation for the particle distribution function are solved in a comoving spherical grid which expands with the shock. Bohm-type diffusion due to self-excited Al...

Energetic proton acceleration from concave targets, the fronts of which were irradiated with 40 fs laser pulses with an intensity of 10 W/cm, has been studied as a function of the depth of the concave shape. Three kinds of targets, a triangular concave target, a circular concave target and a parabolic concave target are considered. When the depth of the concave shape was varied, the peak proton...

Abstract Income comparisons are important for individual well-being. We examine the shape of relationship between relative income and life satisfaction, test empirically if features value function prospect theory carry over to experienced utility. draw on a unique panel dataset middle-income country that allows us work with an endogenous reference income, which differs individuals same observab...

Heavy metal is one of the major problems due to its accumulation from soil food chain, wherein dumpsites are primary sources heavy pollution. This study aimed determine presence metals in Santa Rita, Western Samar dumpsite and quantify them obtain knowledge on possible high contamination that may affect surrounding areas. focused concentrations Cd, Ni, Pb. Eighteen (18) samples were acquired wi...

We prove fluctuation bounds for the particle current in totally asymmetric zero range processes in one dimension with nondecreasing, concave jump rates whose slope decays exponentially. Fluctuations in the characteristic directions have order of magnitude t. This is in agreement with the expectation that these systems lie in the same KPZ universality class as the asymmetric simple exclusion pro...

Background: Identifying the predisposing factors of neck and shoulder complaints and finding solutions to avoid them could improve the occupational health condition of the nurses. In this study, we aimed at determining the role of psychological and physical occupational factors in developing neck and shoulder complaints among the participants.   Methods: This analytic cross-sectional st...

introduction: assessing quality of life for patients with shoulder instability may be essential because of the negative impacts of the disease on patient’s life. the aim of the present study, therefore,  was  to  assess  the  internal  validity  and  consistency,  test-retest  reliability,  and convergent validity of the persian version of the oxford shoulder instability score (osis). material ...

A novel laser crystal of Er3+:Yb3+:GdMgB₅O10 with dimension of 26 × 16 × 12 mm³ was grown successfully from K₂Mo₃O10 flux by the top seeded solution growth method. The thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity were measured to calculate the thermal conductivity of the crystal. The absorption and fluorescence properties of the crystal at room temperature were investigated in detail. The Jud...
