hemoglobin is a tetrameric oxygen transport protein in animal bodies. however, there is a paucity of information regarding differences between alpha and beta subunits of hemoglobin in terms of oxygen affinity. the sequential model of koshland, nemthy and filmer (knf model) has attributed similar affinities to both alpha and beta subunits. the main purpose of the present study is to construct a ...

A catalogue of nonlinear vortex structures associated with acoustic-gravity perturbations in the Earth’s atmosphere is presented. Besides the previously known KelvinStewart cat’s eyes, dipolar and tripolar structures, new solutions having the form of a row of counter-rotating vortices, and several weakly two-dimensional vortex chains are given. The existence conditions for these nonlinear struc...

Objective. To compare the technical performance of laminectomy and percutaneous spinal cord stimulation leads with similar contact spacing by computer modeling. Method. Monopolar and tripolar (guarded cathode) stimulation with both lead types in a low-thoracic spine model was simulated using UT-SCS software. Dorsal column and dorsal root fiber thresholds were calculated as well as the area of r...

Metallic endoprostheses are used for oncological reconstruction around the proximal femur and hip joint. Common modes of failure with hemiarthroplasty or standard hip arthroplasty after proximal femoral replacement include dislocation, late hip pain, and infection. The authors reviewed hospital records to identify patients undergoing constrained tripolar hip arthroplasty for oncological reasons...
