INTRODUCTION: The triquetrum-hamate (TqH) joint has classically been described as a saddle joint with the hamate (HAM) having a helicoidal or screw shape into which the triquetrum (TRQ) rotates. The kinematics of the TqH joint lacks consensus, however, as some believe the TRQ follows a path on an oval surface. A complete understanding of the normal kinematics of the TqH joint is needed for the ...

V. Marušić, I. Samardžić, I. Opačak. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Slavonski Brod University of Osijek, Croatia. The research investigated properties of aluminum bronze welded to structural steel St 52-3 N. Surface material CuAl-A3 was welded in one and two layers. There were dimension, metallographic examination of structures and hardness measured before and after heat treatment and aft...

To counteract rigidification by standardization, we need: (1) employees' self-generating experimentation without punishment for failures; (2) letting "the nail which sticks out" grow instead of hammering it down; (3) examining crazy ideas seriously; (4) cultivation craftsmen's pride filling the requirements like robots; (5) spontaneous change-generating quick interaction among heterogeneous emp...

Impact of fishing methods and gears used on fish faunal diversity in spring-fed torrential river Relli in Darjeeling hill area of West Bengal was investigated in the present study. The fish species available in the river provide nutrition and recreation (rarely income generating) fora large number of people residing along the river bank and nearby villages and towns. The fishing methods observe...
