The aim of this study was to review the clinical outcome and complications in patients who underwent distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) fusion in extension using an axial screw with variable thread pitch (Mini Acutrak screw Acumed, LLC, Hillsboro, OR, USA). Thirty-eight cases of DIPJ or thumb IPJ were performed and assessed through patient satisfaction (hand function and pain) and radiographs....

Every running thread has its own thread context that consists of values of the fields of the target thread object. To consider the thread context in understanding the behaviors of concurrently running threads, we propose a thread-sensitive interprocedural analysis for multithreaded Java applications. Our thread-sensitive analysis exploits thread-context information, instead of the conventional ...

because of fluctuation in leg tension, pitch motion is very effective fatigue and life safety of leg elements in tension leg structures (tlss). in this paper an exact solution for pitch vibration of a tls interacting with ocean wave is presented. the legs of tlp are considered as elastic springs. the flow is assumed to be irrotational and single-valued velocity potentials are defined. the effec...
