The Wroblewski golf ball acetabular cup was introduced by surgeons using the trochanteric osteotomy approach for revision total hip replacement (THR) in order to reduce the rate of dislocation. We have routinely used the Ogee long posterior wall (Ogee LPW) and the Wroblewski angle bore cups in THR. Although the new Wroblewski golf ball cup performed well there was a significant early rate of di...

abstractinduced total pressure by flow, including mean and fluctuating components, around a selected chute block in saf stilling basins downstream of an ogee spillway was studied. several pressure holes were selected on various faces of a selected chute block to get enough information regarding the total pressure field. this paper reports the results of an experimental work and measurement of m...

OGEE is an Online GEne Essentiality database. To enhance our understanding of the essentiality of genes, in OGEE we collected experimentally tested essential and non-essential genes, as well as associated gene properties known to contribute to gene essentiality. We focus on large-scale experiments, and complement our data with text-mining results. We organized tested genes into data sets accord...

Stepped block protection has considerable potential as a low-cost method for the construction of chute spillways and the protection of embankments from erosion by overtopping flow. Stepped spillways are structurally stable, resistant to water loads and significantly increase the rate of energy dissipation on the spillway face thus eliminating or greatly reducing the need for a large energy diss...

In this paper, we use the parallel open source code parallelSPHysics based on the weakly compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (WCSPH) approach to study a spillway flow over stepped stairs. SPH is a robust mesh-free particle modelling technique and has great potential in treating the free surfaces in spillway hydraulics. A laboratory experiment is carried out for the different flow disch...

Current weather indifferent fields of science and engineering research purposes and different applications are studied. One of the applications of climate studies, the study of the flow over the weir dam and lower exhaust tunnel is aimed at preventing the risk of cavitations. Aeration is known as one of the most economical and practical way to deal with cavitations on rapid spill ways. In the s...

The Karahnjukar dam spillway is the spillway for the Halslon reservoir, the main reservoir for the 690 MW Karahnjukar Hydroelectric Project in East Iceland. The spillway consist of a 140 m long overflowing weir with a capacity of 2250 m3/s which discharges into a side channel, followed by a 450 m long chute. The chute terminates at a canyon edge where the jet drops some 100 m into a narrow gorg...

BACKGROUND This biomechanical study examined difference in cement pressures generated by flanged and unflanged acetabular cups in hip arthroplasty. METHOD Using a model acetabulum, cement was inserted and pressurised followed by cup insertion and pressurisation. Pressures were recorded using transducers in the acetabulum. We compared Charnley Ogee (flanged), Exeter contemporary (flanged) and ...

An experimental evaluation was made of the efficacy of an unflanged cup, an ogee-flanged cup and the Exeter pressuriser in the pressurisation of acetabular cement. Only a very modest injection pressure could be generated through an unflanged socket and even this was readily lost as the socket "bottomed out". The ogee-flanged socket gave a consistently high injection pressure which could be main...

OGEE is an Online GEne Essentiality database. Its main purpose is to enhance our understanding of the essentiality of genes. This is achieved by collecting not only experimentally tested essential and non-essential genes, but also associated gene features such as expression profiles, duplication status, conservation across species, evolutionary origins and involvement in embryonic development. ...
