Scapho-trapezio-trapezoid arthrodesis was originally performed for the treatment of scapho-lunate instability. However, only a few publications have described this technique for treatment of osteoarthritis of the scapho-trapezio-trapezoid (STT) joint. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the results of triscaphoid arthrodesis for STT osteoarthritis with a long-term follow-up. Thirteen cases ...

Steel thin-walled beams have been widely used in civil engineering as purlins, ceiling beams or wall substructure beams. There are often planar members such as trapezoidal sheeting or sandwich panels used as roof or wall cladding fastened to the steel beams. The planar members also serve as stabilization of thin-walled beams against buckling due to loss of stability. This paper focuses on probl...

fuzzy newton-cotes method for integration of fuzzy functions that was proposed by ahmady in [1]. in this paper we construct error estimate of fuzzy newton-cotes method such as fuzzy trapezoidal rule and fuzzy simpson rule by using taylor's series. the corresponding error terms are proven by two theorems. we prove that the fuzzy trapezoidal rule is accurate for fuzzy polynomial of degree one and...

If In is the approximation of a deenite integral I = Z b a fxdx with step b , a 2 n using the trapezoidal rule respectively Simpson's rule, if C a;b denotes the number of signiicant digits common to a and b, w e show, in this paper, that CI n ;

Every year a large number of bridges flooding in the river just when they most need them there destroy all born. Carried out. In this study, the four fulcrum forms a semi-circular, trapezoidal, rectangular edges rounded rectangle 90 degrees at 70 degrees in Sagittarius with four different discharges depth of constant scouring around the abutment in pure water were examined. For material of flum...

In this paper, considers the usage of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers in decision making. The values and ambiguities of the membership degree and the non-membership degree for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number are defined as well as the value-index and ambiguity-index. The proposed ranking method is easily implemented and has a natural interpretation. 2010 AMS Classification: 47S20, 03E72

In this paper Algorithm is presented to perform critical path method in a fuzzy environment. The trapezoidal fuzzy number given by decision makers or characterized by historical data are utilized to assess the activity time in a project network. The fuzzy shortest path problem thus obtained is compared with conventional method.

How to maximize the efficiency of X-ray Talbot interferometry (XTI) is discussed for X-ray phase imaging. Shape parameters of an amplitude grating used in XTI strongly affect the efficiency. We calculated efficiencies assuming rectangular and trapezoidal patterns for an absorption grating. As a result, a rectangular absorption grating of a duty ratio of 1:1 is optimal. But, a trapezoidal patter...
