With the complex of the tunnel construction, tunnel construction become more and more difficult, in order to ensure the safety of tunnel construction, the paper introduced a kind of tunnel construction monitoring system based on sensor. The system achieves the real-time monitoring of tunnel construction environment including temperature and humidity, gas concentration, dust concentration, locat...

Tophaceous gout is a recognized cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. Of 2649 carpal tunnel releases, 15 hands in 13 patients were identified with tophaceous gout in the carpal tunnel. The incidence of tophaceous gout in the carpal tunnel was 0.6%. Twelve of 13 patients were male, and 8 of 10 patients with a history of gout developed carpal tunnel syndrome despite adequate medical treatment. Thus, c...

Carpal tunnel syndrome is diagnosed by clinical symptoms, Tinel's sign, Phalen's test and electromyography. Carpal tunnel pressure measurement can also aid in the precise identification of excessive pressure sites that indicate locations for release. In this study, pressure measurements made during endoscopic carpal tunnel release at 5 points were significantly higher anywhere in the carpal tun...

A FOUNDATION FOR TUNNEL-COMPLEX PROTOCOLS Alwyn E. Goodloe Carl A. Gunter Tunnel-complex protocols construct different tunnel topologies by directing tunnelestablishment protocols to set up pair-wise tunnels between different nodes, where the resulting tunnel complex satisfies some security requirement such as negotiating a defense in depth. Such protocols ease the burden on network managers de...

Performance-based wind design (PBWD) allowing inelastic behavior under extreme load has only been recently considered for of high-rise buildings. Unlike performance-based seismic design, there are few guidelines and research on design. Time-history loads PBWD rely tunnel tests. However, conducting tests preliminary structural concepts may not be practical due to changes in cost. To address thes...

Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a controversial procedure used in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Although endoscopic carpal tunnel release is associated with less incisional pain and faster recovery time than the open carpal tunnel release, opponents of endoscopic carpal tunnel release suggest that its benefits are outweighed by its higher complication rates from median nerve tran...

qomroud water conveyance tunnel (lot 1&2) with the length of 16 kilometers is considered as one of the greatest development and national projects in iran. since about 2 kilometers of tunnel pass through alluvium and the rest of the tunnel pass through various types of geological units, and due to the complexity of geological condition and variety of effective criteria, suitable selection of...

Excavation of shallow tunnels such as subways in urban areas plays a significant role as a life line and investigation of the soil behavior against tunnel construction is one of the vital subjects studied in the geotechnical scope. Nowadays, urban tunnels are mostly drilled by T.B.Ms and changing the applied forces to tunnel lining is one of the most risky matters while drilling tunnels by thes...
