When reverse hybrid total hip arthroplasty (cemented thick all poly acetabular cup and uncemented hydroxyapatite coated femoral stem) was initiated in Turkey by this author in 1989, there was too much negative criticism.[1,2] The reason for preferring this option was earlier personal experience and the literature data.[3,4] Currently, to the author’s knowledge, there is no other orthopedic surg...

in this work, an inverse finite element formulation was modified for considering material anisotropy in obtaining blank shape and forming severity of deep drawn orthotropic parts. in this procedure, geometry of final part and thickness of initial blank sheet were known. after applying ideal forming formulations between material points of initial blank and final shape, an equation system was obt...

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty, introduced by Grammont et al. [1] in 1987, is commonly associated with scapular notching, [2] an impingement of the humeral cup against the scapula’s inferior border. Although the clinical significance of notching has been debated, 2 studies reported less successful clinical outcomes in its presence [2,3]. A laboratory study showed that a varus humeral neck-shaft ...

We give a method to obtain a 3D CSG model from a 2D engineering wireframe sketch which depicts a polyhedral shape. The method finds a CSG feature tree compatible with a reverse design history of a 2D line-drawing obtained by vectorising the sketch. The process used seeks the CSG feature tree recursively, combining all design or manufacturing features embedded in the sketch, proceeding in revers...

abstract background: premature neonates’ feeding is of great importance due to its effective role in their growth. these neonates should reach an independent oral nutrition stage before being discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit. therefore, the researcher decided to conduct a study on the effect of palady and cup feeding on premature neonates’ weight gain and their reaching full ora...

Undesired wall thickness distribution and flanging cracking easily occur in reverse drawing–flanging combined processes of steel spokes when improper process parameters are used. Thus, based on GRA (grey relational analysis) and FEM (finite element method), a GRA model for a reverse drawing–flanging combined process for high strength steel B550CL spoke was established and validated. The results...

Three soccer World Cups were analysed with the aim of identifying the match statistics which best discriminated between winning, drawing and losing teams. The analysis was based on 177 matches played during the three most recent World Cup tournaments: Korea/Japan 2002 (59), Germany 2006 (59) and South Africa 2010 (59). Two categories of variables were studied: 1) those related to attacking play...

Program understanding can be enhanced using reverse engineering technologies. The understanding process is heavily dependent on both individuals and their speci c cognitive abilities, and on the set of facilities provided by the program understanding environment. Unfortunately, most reverse engineering tools provide a xed palette of extraction, selection, and organization techniques. This paper...

GENIUS is a graphical software tool for visualizing genetic networks composed by a high number of genes. It accepts as input a matrix summarizing gene relationships inferred by means of reverse engineering methods. GENIUS offers two visualization modalities (the Agorà style and the TouchGraph style), that can be exploited in a complementary way. It is thus possible to obtain a clear and easily ...
