Stress Distribution within the Rotator Cuff Tendon with a Crescent-shaped and an L-shaped Tears

INTRODUCTION: There are various shapes of full-thickness rotator cuff tears, but they are mainly categorized into two types; crescent-shaped and L-shaped tears. Although it is widely accepted that the tear often propagates with time, the exact propagation pattern in each type of tear is still remains unknown. In the present study, we attempted to clarify the stress distribution in the tendons w...

Unsteady RANS Simulation of High Reynolds Number Trailing Edge Flow

Unsteady vortex shedding at a trailing edge may cause pressure fluctuations and strong tonal noise which can have important consequences to the performance of marine and aeronautical type lifting surfaces. This paper presents data from unsteady RANS simulation of high Reynolds number trailing edge flow. It aims to identify and quantify dominant features of the trailing edge flow field over a tw...

A crescent-shaped ALIX dimer targets ESCRT-III CHMP4 filaments.

ALIX recruits ESCRT-III CHMP4 and is involved in membrane remodeling during endosomal receptor sorting, budding of some enveloped viruses, and cytokinesis. We show that ALIX dimerizes via the middle domain (ALIX(-V)) in solution. Structural modeling based on small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data reveals an elongated crescent-shaped conformation for dimeric ALIX lacking the proline-rich domai...

Stiffness-Strength-Ductility-Design Approaches for Crescent Shaped Braces

It is known that the seismic response of a structural system is highly influenced, in addition to the earthquake input, by the dynamic characteristics of the system itself. This paper presents an approach for the identification of the characteristics of the structural system resisting to horizontal loads which enables to satisfy given seismic performance objectives. This is achieved by consider...
