Background The use of 3-dimensional highly porous acetabular cups is increasing. Their
structure and mechanical properties mimic those of natural bone; therefore, they should …

The permeabilities of oxygen through the molten Fe2O3-CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 and CaF2-CaO-SiO2-Al2O3
systems were measured by means of an experimental procedure which was …

Lumbar spondylolysis usually occurs as a stress fracture in the pars interarticularis of the
vertebra. It is a prevalent sports-related disorder and a common cause of low back pain. We …

The effects of an electric field on the flow patterns and defect dynamics of two-dimensional
active nematic liquid crystals are numerically investigated. We found that field-induced …

Background: Nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) is a term used to describe low back pain
of unknown origin with no identifiable generators. Over a decade ago, it was reported to …

Fe, Oa-CaO-Si02-AI, Oa and CaF,-CaO-SiO,-AI, O a systems were measured by means of
the experimental procedure which has been developed by the authors. The permeabilities …

An experimental procedure to determine the permeability of dissolved oxygen gas in liquid
slag has been developed using an oxygen concentration cell. A small amount of oxygen gas …

Coupling between flow and orientation is a central issue in understanding the collective
dynamics of active biofilaments and cells. Active stressess generated by motor activity destroy (…

In this paper, we present an approach to the selection of principal colors for the class of logo
images. The approach is using multiple objectives that can be assigned to a color set, …

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) can
be a mild, persisting infection. Although heterotopic ossification (HO) is common following …
