Aim: Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus (OLT) is a common pathology in orthopedic injuries. Recently arthroscopic microfracture treatment is widely used as a simple technique with clinically satisfactory outcomes. The present study aimed to reveal the outcomes of arthroscopic OLT treatment and determine the appropriate patient group. Material and Methods: 21 patients who underwent arthroscopic ...

Abstract Nowadays, inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research related to noncontact positioning and transport of free-standing cryogenic targets is playing an increasingly important role in this field. The operational principle behind these technologies the magnetic acceleration levitating target carrier (or sabot) made from Type-II, high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs). physics interaction...

Abstract It is now recognized that high-temperature superconducting (HTS) technology has a significant potential for future magnetic levitation (Maglev) transit system applications due to the advantages of self-stable levitation, being free electric power and drag vehicle motion, simplicity. This article provides characterization method experimental transport Maglev module developed at Universi...

The transit industry is facing declining ridership and increasing costs with no apparent end in sight. This paper takes the view that totally new solutions are needed. The approach is to examine the equation for total cost of a transit system per passenger-mile to determine how to configure a new system to minimize this quantity. Term-by-term analysis leads to derivation of a consistent set of ...

New transportation systems have always attracted attention of both transportation experts and general public: the first railway in England, first automobile and streetcar in Germany, first airplane in the United States all of these inventions attracted excitement, curiosity, enthusiasm and skepticism. With time, many inventions fulfilled or exceeded expectations: they have been developed into m...
