1. Biomechanical and Clinical Aspects on Fixation Techniques in the Cervical Spine
Abstract : The present work is analyzing the general biomechanical aspects of fixation techniques in the upper and lower cervical spine along with clinical implications.The in vitro biomechanical properties of five different posterior atlanto-axial fixation techniques are compared. READ MORE

2. Brash Ice and Level Ice Growth, Effects of Snow
Abstract : Brash ice occurs due to frequent navigation in ice-infested waters, typically along established navigation tracks regularly maintained by icebreakers and harbors. The accumulation and consolidation of brash ice between two ship passages are influenced by meteorological factors including the cumulative freezing air temperatures, and the mechanical processes such as ice-breaking due to ship passages.

3. Numerical modeling of air-fiber flows
Abstract : The dynamics of fiber suspensions are of great importance in applications such as the dry-forming process of pulp mats for use in hygiene products. In this forming process, fibers are transported in flowing air. The fibers interact with the fluid, and may interact with each other and interlock in flocs. READ MORE

4. Assessment of 3D movements in the lumbar and cervical spine with a new CT based method
Abstract : Background: Numerous methods for measuring segmental motion in spine have been described. However, because of the inaccessibility of the spine and the complexity of segmental movements, most of the noninvasive methods in use today have low accuracy or are unable to detect movements in all three cardinal axes.

5. The value of artificial disc replacement in cervical radiculopathy
Abstract : Background; Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is a motion-preserving implant and a further development of existing surgical implants for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy. Theoretically, an artificial disc could decrease stress on adjacent segment and thereby prevent rapid progression of degenerative changes in surrounding segments. READ MORE
