Defects in the superior margin of ribs, of an erosive nature, appear to be uncommon, the chief causes being poliomyelitis (Bernstein, Loeser, and Manning, 1958), hyperparathyroidism (Noetzli and Steinbach, 1962), rheumatoid arthritis (Alpert and Feldman, 1964), scleroderma (Keats, 1967); other rarer causes have been summarized by Boone, Swenson, and Felson (1964), Gayler and Donner (1967), and ...

The incidence of erosive arthropathy of the sternoclavicular joints in 25 consecutive cases of polymyalgia rheumatica was studied by means of sternoclavicular tomography. Definite erosions were found in 11 patients. Erosions were most likely to be found in patients whose symptoms had been present for more than 6 months.

A flume study was conducted using a soil, yard waste compost, and an erosion control compost to investigate the response to concentrated flow and determine if the shear stress model could be used to describe the response. Yard waste compost (YWC) and the bare Cecil soil (CS) control responded to concentrated laboratory runoff similarly in rill formation, and the shear stress model was useful in...

The higher rate of slope erosion in the Himalayan basins is contributing to rapid change landform mountainous terrain, which has caused sedimentation, and inundation downstream. Tamakoshi basin a trans-boundary river that originates from Tibet flows through Dolakha Ramechap districts before joining Sapta Koshi river. Few studies exist Nepal attempting quantify susceptibility. However, they are ...

Soil erosion is a globally challenging issue that hinders agricultural productivity by enhancing land degradation and loss to the top fertile soil. Although it global issue, its effect adverse on farmers dwell in developing countries. Hence, providing information soil crucial plan implement appropriate water conservation measures. Accordingly, estimation models were developed grouped as empiric...

Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease typically characterized by arthritis and psoriasis variably associated with other extra-articular manifestations. PsA has been considered a milder and less disabling disease compared with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), even if some studies showed that PsA had joint erosions and damage. In addition, about 20-40% of PsA patients have axial s...

this study is considering a micropolar fluid flow over a porous stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation and uniform magnetic field. the effects of local variation in thermal conductivity of micropolar fluid on heat transfer rate from the sheet are investigated; besides, the impacts of radiation, magnetic field and porous sheet on variations of thermal boundary layer thickness are ...

After more than a century since its birth, Quantum Theory still eludes our under1 standing. If asked to describe it, we have to resort to abstract and ad hoc principles about 2 complex Hilbert spaces. How is it possible that a fundamental physical theory cannot be de3 scribed using the ordinary language of Physics? Here we offer a contribution to the problem, 4 providing a short non-technical p...
