abstract   background: tibial torsion is one of the torsion density which rotating in the longitudes axis of the leg. to measure this deformity, different methods such as radiographic or clinical methods were presented and introduced. methods: in this quasi-experimental study, 30 male athletes were selected randomly. their tibial torsion angle was measured using ct scan, lavand, lokomso, foot p...

Title of Dissertation: CFD Based Unsteady Aerodynamic Modeling for Rotor Aeroelastic Analysis Jayanarayanan Sitaraman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2003 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor James D. Baeder Department of Aerospace Engineering A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is developed for 3-D rotor unsteady aerodynamic load prediction. It is then coupled to a rotor structural a...

Introduction Cable stayed bridges are a feasible choice for middle length spans and can be also an alternative to suspension bridges in the range of 1000 m spans. In the last three years, cable stayed bridges having more than 1 km span have been built in China (Sutong Bridge, 1088 m and Stonecutters Bridge, 1018 km). The increasing in length implies higher aeroelastic interaction with wind acti...

Macroscopic, microscopic, and mesoscopic lumped-parameter models of shape memory alloy wires subjected to axial loads and new flutter prediction methods of a steady and a non-steady aeroelastic system will be presented with some comparison to previous studies.

the testicular torsion which is typically seen in prepuberty is very rare in the early neonatal period; prenatal diagnosis is difficult. herein, we report a five day-old male neonate with swelling and erythema of the right scrotum.  following doppler ultrasound suggestive of testicular torsion, surgical exploration was undertaken. there was gangrene of the right testis with discoloration and ne...

anandamide is an endogenous ligand for cannabinoid receptors and has endothelial protective effect against ischemic preconditioning. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cannabinoids on reperfusion injury due to testicular torsion-detorsion (t/d). a total of 36 adult male sprague-dawley rats were divided into 6 groups. testicular ischemia was achieved by twisting the righ...

The Pazy wing aeroelastic benchmark is a highly flexible wind tunnel model investigated in the Large Deflection Working Group as part of Third Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop. Due to design model, very large elastic deformations order 50% span are generated at highest dynamic pressures and angles attack tunnel. This paper presents static coupling simulations stability analyses for selected onfl...

isolated fallopian tube torsion is rare and often difficult to diagnose. definitive diagnosis is always made at laparoscopic or via laparotomy exploration performed for suspected ovarian torsion. early diagnosis and conservative laparoscopic treatment especially in a reproductive age woman is warranted as a means of preserving fallopian tube integrity and maintaining fertility. here, we describ...
