Due to the fact that forest ecosystems can potentially mitigate the impact of climate change, the carbon balance of managed forests has caught the attention of a large scientific community. Some authors conclude that extending rotation lengths would actually favour the climate change mitigation effect since more carbon would be stored in the biomass on the average. However, when the occurrence ...

BACKGROUND A common disadvantage of reverse shoulder arthroplasty is limitation of the range of arm rotation. Several changes to the prosthesis design and implantation technique have been suggested to improve rotation range of motion (ROM). HYPOTHESIS Glenoid component design and degree of humeral component retroversion influence rotation ROM after reverse shoulder arthroplasty. MATERIAL AN...

We address the synthesis of serial chain spatial mechanisms with revolute joints in which the rotations about the joints are coupled via cables and pulleys. Such coupled serial chain mechanisms o er a middle ground between the more versatile and compact serial chains and the simpler closed chains by combining some of the advantages of both types of systems. In particular, we focus on the synthe...

Abstract The paper deals with a sequencing and routing problem originated by real-world application context. consists in defining the best sequence of locations to visit within warehouse for storage and/or retrieval given set items during specified time horizon, where storage/retrieval location an item is given. Picking put-away are simultaneously addressed, also considering some specific requi...

The authors performed a retrospective review of pelvic rotation in 59 children with cerebral palsy who underwent lower extremity surgery and pre- and postoperative gait analysis. Two groups were studied: a femoral derotation osteotomy (FDRO) group and a soft tissue surgery only (no FDRO) group. Both groups exhibited abnormal pelvic rotation preoperatively and normalization of this abnormal pelv...
