Biomechanical consequences of epiphytism in intertidal macroalgae.
Epiphytic algae grow on other algae rather than hard substrata, perhaps circumventing competition for space in marine ecosystems. Aquatic epiphytes are widely thought to negatively affect host fitness; it is also possible that epiphytes benefit from associating with hosts. This study explored the biomechanical costs and benefits of the epiphytic association between the intertidal brown algal ep...
متن کاملA biomechanical analysis of applied pinch force during periodontal scaling.
One of the factors associated with the high prevalence of upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, among dental practitioners is the repeated high pinch force applied during periodontal scaling. The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between the pinch force applied during periodontal scaling and the forces generated at the tip of the tool. A l...

متن کاملBiomechanical consequences of branching in flexible wave-swept macroalgae.
Wave-swept macroalgae present an excellent system for studying the effects of chronic physical stress on the morphological evolution of plants. Wave-induced water velocities impose great drag forces, leading to a morphological tradeoff between light interception and drag reduction/tolerance. What are the hydrodynamic consequences of morphological diversification, such as increased branching? Dr...
متن کاملBiomechanical Consequences of Coracoclavicular Reconstruction Techniques on Clavicle Strength
BACKGROUND Lateral clavicle fractures have been reported after coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstructions with bone tunnels through the clavicle. PURPOSE To biomechanically compare clavicle strength following 2 common CC reconstruction techniques with different bone tunnel diameters. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Testing was performed on 2 groups of matched-pair ca...
