Deterministic lateral displacement arrays have shown great promise for size-based particle analysis and purification in medicine and biology. Here, we demonstrate that the use of an array of triangular rather than circular posts significantly enhances the performance of these devices by reducing clogging, lowering hydrostatic pressure requirements, and increasing the range of displacement chara...

concrete filled steel tube columns (cfst) are a kind of composite columns according to advantages of cfst relative to reinforced concrete and steel columns. use of these materials is common in recent years especially in high building, unnecessary of molding, high ductility, proportionate resistance with low volume, economical, low deformation relative to steel columns are among advantages. in t...

A carbon black transference technique was used to determine the contact area in twenty-three dissected tibiotalar articulations, with the talus in neutral position and displaced one, two, four, and six millimeters laterally. The greatest reduction in contact area occurred during the initial one millimeter of lateral displacement, the average reduction being 42 per cent. With further lateral dis...

PURPOSE This study aimed to elucidate the degree of biceps anchor displacement that occurs when specific zones of the superior labrum are detached from the glenoid. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS Twelve cadaveric scapulae with intact labrums were prepared by removing the surrounding musculature with the labrum, biceps anchor, and biceps tendon carefully preserved. Pulley...

New comb drives using high stiffness ratio springs are designed and modeled to provide capabilities of large static displacement and continuous motion for applications, such as micro XY stage, two dimensional lens scanner, variable optical attenuator, and optical switch, etc. The maximum static displacement of conventional comb drive is constrained by the side sticking effect of comb finger ele...

Background: Ankle arthrodesis is the gold standard and most commonly used method for the treatment of post-traumatic ankle arthritis. Aims: This study is to investigate the biomechanical safety and stability of four ankle fusion models through three-dimensional finite element analysis. Methods: Four ankle fusion models were established, including anterior plate ankle fusion model, lateral plate...

The prevalences of displacement and deformity of the medial and lateral fabellae in dogs were investigated. This was a retrospective epidemiologic study. Radiographs of canine stifle joints (1022 limbs, 534 dogs) were obtained. The images were taken at the Nihon University Animal Medical Center and three private animal hospitals from January 2003 to July 2012. The position and morphology of the...

Nakayama and Tyler (1981) disentangled the use of pure motion (speed) information from spatial displacement information for the detection of lateral motion. They showed that when positional cues were removed the contribution of motion or spatial information was dependent on the temporal frequency: for temporal frequencies lower than 1Hz the mechanism used to detect motion relied on speed inform...

The objectives of this study were to figure out the prevalence of sideways disc displacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in symptom-free volunteers and to compare signal. The study was based on bilateral Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of 112 joints in 56 symptom-free volunteers. Sideways displacements were identified as medial disc displacement (MDD) and lateral disc displacement (LDD...

In this study, the combination of Phenergan C17H2ON2S, in which two aromatic rings are present, are attached to the rings at carbon position 5 and 13 halogens, and the changes in the asymmetric parameter, the convex constants, and the chemical displacement of the lateral carbon atoms are calculated. It shows that with the change of halogen based on the electrone...
