Measurements of flow past simulated sinusoidal hills were taken in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel (ABLWT) that modeled typical full-scale complex terrain for many wind turbine locations in the Altamont Pass, California, USA. Velocity profiles and speed-up factors for several model hills were determined. All hills modeled had the same height and sinusoidal cross-section, and length-to...

A case is reported in which a simple anterior lamellar repositioning procedure was used successfully to repair an upper lid entropion associated with a horizontal tarsal kink. This obviates the need for the more complex and destructive procedures which have previously been described for the treatment of this condition.

A simple and reliable method of recording medial and lateral plantar nerve sensory action potentials is described. Potentials are recorded with surface electrodes at the ankle using surface electrodes stimulating orthodromically at the sole. The normal values obtained are higher in amplitude than those obtained by the method described by Guiloff and Sherratt and are detectable in older subjects...

Abstract Background Electrodiagnostic tests (EDXTs) have been considered the gold standard method for diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS); however, definitive has not yet discovered. Our aim was to develop new nerve conduction provocative techniques in double and single leg stance as well combined ankle dorsiflexion with foot eversion accompanied by compression suspected TTS. Results Rout...
