We assessed 70 hips at an average of 7.1 years after pinning for slipped upper femoral epiphysis to determine the frequency of remodelling, what factors influence it and its effect on the clinical outcome. Remodelling was defined by a new classification of the anterior femoral head-neck profile as seen on the lateral radiograph. Remodelling occurred in 50% of hips with a head-shaft angle of 30 ...

A new genus and species of Discocephalini, Acanthocephalonotum martinsnetoi gen. n. et sp. n. is described from Río Pichileufú, middle Eocene of Patagonia, Argentina at palaeolatitude ~ 46°S. The new species is the first fossil representative of the Discocephalinae. This taxon is extant in equatorial to subtropical America, and some species reach warm temperate latitudes (Buenos Aires province)...

A series of sled tests was performed using the Q3S anthropomorphic test device (ATD) and the ECE R44 sled buck to study CRS and pediatric occupant kinematics in far-side impacts. Using one model of convertible child restraint system (CRS), tests were performed using a 24 km/hr, 20 g pulse to compare ATD and CRS response to lateral loading in both forward-facing (FF) and rearward-facing (RF) con...

The present study was conducted to compare sperm motion characteristics of adult Malpura and Bharat Merino rams by the computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) technique. Malpura is a hardy native sheep breed of the semi-arid tropical environment and Bharat Merino is a crossbred evolved in the same environment by crossing native sheep with exotic rams. Semen was collected from 8 donor rams of each ...

The influence of deep excavation on adjacent pile behaviour is an important issue to ensure its serviceability and stability. In this paper, the effect loaded single in saturated cohesionless soil was investigated by 3D finite element method. After verification model using centrifuge test results found literature, a parametric study conducted varying most factors such as depth, distance from he...

good perception of relation-sheep among plant morphological traits and resistance to fusarium head blight of wheat is quite effective to make a good success in plant breeding project. in this experiment this relation has been checked out. the morphological traits were included plant height, peduncle length and spike density. we used 28 spring wheat genotypes and 2 durum genotypes. there was sig...
