The primary goal of our participation in the Session track is to further evaluate our anchor expansion technique proposed in the previous year [1]. In particular, we aim to test the effectiveness of this approach on a more realistic dataset collected this year. SWIRL 2012 noted that there is still a large gap between the study of users and the study of IR algorithms [2], so the session data col...

A useful and growing web technology is the ability to present dynamically customized web content to users on the fly. Customized content often includes customized links, so a natural question arises: what should the anchor text be for dynamically generated links? This paper addresses the question of how to label dynamically generated links informatively and understandably. Our approach uses heu...

Research was conducted for the development and evaluation of an alternative ground anchorage system for US Army quick deployment structures. The following criteria were required: mechanized anchor installation with manual backup, ability to anchor TEMPER structures with internal pressure of 2.6 psf (124.5 Pa) in 65 mph (29.1 m/s) winds, functionality in all expected deployment soil types, and t...

PURPOSE Suture anchors are used consistently for repairs of soft tissues, especially around the glenohumeral joint. These anchors can be used either arthroscopically or in an open procedure to anatomically restore the labrum and capsular tissues to the glenoid after avulsion injuries (Bankart lesion). The purpose of this study was to analyze the pullout strength of a new knotless suture anchor ...

We compared the pullout strength of a suture-based anchor versus a bioabsorbable anchor in the distal fibula and calcaneus and evaluated the relationship between bone mineral density and peak load to failure. Eight paired cadaveric specimens underwent a modified Broström procedure and Achilles tendon reattachment. The fibula and calcaneus in the paired specimens received either a suture-based a...

PURPOSE To evaluate the load to failure and the mode of failure of a novel suture anchor construct that does not require knots (the "twist-lock" construct) and to compare it with a standard suture anchor construct (Corkscrew; Arthrex, Naples, FL). TYPE OF STUDY Biomechanical single-pull load-to-failure study comparing the twist-lock construct to the Corkscrew suture anchor construct. METHOD...
