The superiority of the convergence behavior of effective rotational Hamiltonians expressed in terms of Pade approximants over more conventional power series Hamiltonians is well known. For diatomics it is suggested that the failure of the conventional expansions is due to singularities in the complex Jplane. This theory is supported by numerical calculations on rotationally excited Ha with both...

Current methods of order tracking, such as synchronous resampling, Gabor filtering, and Vold-Kalman filtering have undesirable traits. Each method has two or more of the following deficiencies: requires measurement or estimate of rotational speed over time, failure to isolate the contribution of crossing orders in the vicinity of the crossing time, large computational expense, end effects. In t...

PURPOSE Intrafraction rotation of more than 45° and 25° has been observed for lung and prostate tumors, respectively. Such rotation is not routinely adapted to during current radiotherapy, which may compromise tumor dose coverage. The aim of the study was to investigate the geometric and dosimetric performance of an electromagnetically guided real-time dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) tracki...

Traumatic infant shaking has been associated with the shaken baby syndrome (SBS) diagnosis without verification of the operative mechanisms of injury. Intensities for SBS have been expressed only in qualitative, unsubstantiated terms usually referring to acceleration/deceleration rotational injury and relating to falls from great heights onto hard surfaces or from severe motor vehicle crashes. ...

We have compared different types of intertrochanteric osteotomy for avascular necrosis of the hip and evaluated their performance in the light of improving outcome after total hip arthroplasty (THA). During a period of 14 years we performed 63 flexion osteotomies (partly combined with varus or valgus displacement), 29 rotational osteotomies, 13 varus osteotomies, eight medialising osteotomies a...

This paper aims to characterise the mechanical behaviour of folded timber sandwich structures developed using integral rotational press-fit (RPF) joints. Six arches are tested failure, under three load cases designed induce different sagging and hogging conditions at internal Experimental testing showed failures occurring joint locations with maximum moment, two failure types observed as FRP te...

background: evaluating the landmarks for rotation of the distal femur is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. although the posterior femoral condyle axis is a good landmark for surgeons, the surgical transepicondylar axis may be a better option with the help of preoperative ct scanning. the purpose of this study was to ascertain relationships among the axes’ guiding distal femur rotational alig...
