Abstract Creep response for isotropic axisymmetric rotating disc made of a particle-reinforced FGM has been investigated in the present study. The result obtained for non linear variation of particle distribution along the radial distance of the disc are compared with that of discs containing the same amount of particle distributed uniformly or linearly along the radial distance. The disc under...

BACKGROUND Lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) reconstruction requires proper understanding and identification of anatomic structures about the lateral elbow. The insertion site of the LUCL is based on the supinator tubercle. PURPOSE To characterize the supinator tubercle relative to other surrounding anatomic landmarks. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS Computed tom...

We analyzed T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging data of 100 cognitively normal elderly controls (NC), 127 cognitively normal Parkinson's disease (PD; PDCN) and 31 PD-associated mild cognitive impairment (PDMCI) subjects from the Norwegian ParkWest study. Using automated segmentation methods, followed by the radial distance technique and multiple linear regression we studied the effect ...

A nonlocal model for heat transfer with phonons and electrons is applied to infer the steady-state radial temperature profile in a circular layer surrounding an inner hot component. Such a profile, following by the numerical solution of the heat equation, predicts that the temperature behaves in an anomalous way, since for radial distances from the heat source smaller than the mean-free path of...

INTRODUCTION The median and radial nerves are two important neural structures found in the cubital fossa. The trajectory and landmarks used to identify their location are important when procedures are done in this area. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten fresh-frozen cadavers were dissected (20 upper limbs) and measurements were taken from the medial epicondyle to the median and radial nerves as well ...

PURPOSE Report on the anatomic qualification of the snuffbox radial artery (SBRA) and proximal radial artery (PRA) for pAVF.
 METHODS Retrospective analysis of upper extremity mapping in 64 limbs in 55 dialysis patients was performed. The radial artery was assessed for diameter, patency, flow and proximity to the adjacent vein to SBRA and PRA. Sites qualified for pAVF on a binary basis when t...
