Material-form relationships on talus slopes in southwestern British Columbia

Evans, Stephen G. January 1976 (has links)
Talus slopes were investigated in a process-material-response framework. The work was concerned with clarifying concepts and terminology concerning slopes of granular materials and interpreting talus slope angles in the light of this clarification; verifying this interpretation in a field investigation; and seeking statistical relationships between talus slope angle and material properties. Field investigations were carried out in South West British Columbia. Slopes were investigated in the southern Coast Mountains and. in the Similkameen Valley. Theoretical concepts relating to slopes in granular material were discussed. Two angles of repose were distinguished; a peak angle of accumulation (α[sub c]) defined as the steepest angle attainable by a mass of granular material, and a lower angle, the angle of repose (α[sub r]) to which the material slides after failure. α[sub c] and α[sub r] were related to concepts of shear resistance and the angle of internal friction (0); α[sub c] was linked to 0 and α[sub r] was thought to correspond to the residual angle of internal friction for a given material. α[sub c] and α[sub r] were related through a regression equation of the form; α[sub c] = -3.29 + 1.273 (α[sub r]) These concepts were examined with reference to talus slope form and some of the contradictions in the literature were presented. The characteristic and limiting slope angles noted in review were found to correspond to α[sub r] and α[sub c] respectively for talus material. This correspondence gave rise to the supply induced transformation hypothesis which appeared to provide a suitable transformation model for rock-fall talus. The relationship between material properties and slope angle was examined using parametric multivariate statistics. Significant correlations, at the 99% level, were obtained between segment angle and size (inverse) and segment angle and sorting (direct). At the 95% level significant correlations were found between segment angle and sphericity (inverse) and Zingg's Flatness Ratio (direct). In multiple regression analysis only 37.11% of the variation in slope angle was accounted for by material properties (sorting and the variance in Zingg's Elongation Ratio) at the 95% level of significance. Shape factors contribute very little to the explained variance whilst fabric related variables contribute nothing. Implications of these results for talus slope development were discussed. Rockfall talus slopes subject to supply-induced transformation processes are thought to have a distinctive morphology which may be an explanation for the typical profile concavity noted on such slopes. Determinants on the frequency of talus slides were examined. The problem of the basal layer cannot be ignored in a consideration of talus slope development models. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate

Medicinteknisk produktutveckling : Fixeringsteknik för talonaviculär artrodes

Philip, Bengtsson, Ludvig, Persson January 2016 (has links)
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to develop a fixation technique for talonavicular arthrodesis. A talonavicular arthrodesis is a problematic arthrodesis of the foot and is done when the patient is suffering from pain in the joint. There are two difficulties with this operation. At first, the operation is problematic in that it is difficult to reach the talus and navicular bones. The bones are positioned deep within the foot and surrounded by many other bones and tendons. This makes it difficult to fixate the bones. This problem indirectly causes the other problem. The fact that it is difficult to fixate the bones results in no direct method to perform the operation. Different surgeons have different solutions to fixate the bones which makes the operation vary in results depending on the surgeon who performs the operation. This thesis is a start-up of the project to solve the problem with a talonavicular arthrodesis. Therefore, the aim of the thesis is to investigate whether it is possible to find a standardized method of the operation and reach a final concept that could solve the problems with the operation. The method chosen for this project has been shaped by the standard EN ISO 13485:2016, which deals with quality management systems and requirements for regulatory purposes for medical devices. Behind the thesis is a case study carried out in parallel with a literature study which is the basis for this thesis The product development has been characterized by the regulatory requirements, as the medical device industry requires. The project began with a project planning which was then followed by a problem understanding phase. When the problem understanding phase was completed a concept development phase began that led to concept evaluation. The result of this project is a final concept. The concept is a staple designed with a strong focus on stress distribution in the joint surface and the limitations of accessibility to the joint. The concept is designed to standardize the fixation on talonavicular arthrodesis. The conclusion of the project is that the concept is considered interesting to go on with. However, a deeper understanding of quality assurance has been obtained during the project. The understanding has contributed to the realization that further validation and verification is required in order to realize the concept into a real product. Recommendations to proceed with the project is to do more tests and creating a quality assurance system that meets the requirements of the “Medical product agency”.

Ontogeny of bipedalism : pedal mechanics and trabecular bone morphology

Zeininger, Angel Diane 21 February 2014 (has links)
A unique pattern of pedal loading from heel-strike at touchdown to hallucal propulsion at toe-off is a distinct feature of mature human bipedalism, however, its first appearance in the fossil record is debated. The main goal of this dissertation is to identify anatomical correlates to a modern human heel-strike, rigid foot, and propulsive hallucal toe-off. First, a biomechanical analysis of toddler walking is used as a 'natural experiment' to investigate the influence of non heel-strike (NHS, n = 11) and immature heel-strike (IHS, n = 7) on the location of the center of pressure and orientation of the ground reaction force resultant in relation to specific foot bones during stance phase. With an expanded knowledge of foot bone loading in toddlers, a microarchitectural approach is used to test the influence of a heel-strike, rigid foot, and propulsive hallucal toe-off on trabecular bone fabric properties in an ontogenetic series of human and African ape (chimpanzee, bonobo, and gorilla) calcanei, tali, first metatarsal heads and hallucal distal phalanges. This dissertation presents the first ontogenetic analysis of pedal trabecular bone in primates. Heel-strike and toe-off are developmentally independent from one another. Although most toddlers lack a hallucal toe-off, NHS and IHS apply equally high propulsive forces when the entire width of their forefoot is in contact with the ground. Biomechanical and fossil evidence suggest that a generalized active propulsion may have preceded the evolution of a propulsive hallucal toe-off. Although pedal trabecular fabric properties are more complex than predicted, trabecular correlates to heel-strike and hallucal toe-off are identified within adult human foot bones. Compared to toddlers and African apes, adult humans have a unique combination of relatively thick trabecular struts and an anteroplantar to posterodorsal primary trabecular orientation in the plantar aspect of the calcaneal tuber. In the calcaneal tendon volume of interest, adult humans have a unique anteroplantar to posterodorsal primary trabecular orientation associated with a propulsive hallucal toe-off. This dissertation provides the comparative context necessary to begin assessing the evolution and developmental timing of foot function and specific bipedal gait events in juvenile and adult fossil hominins. / text

Klinische und pedobarographische Ergebnisse nach operativ versorgten Talusfrakturen / Clinical, radiological and pedobarographic results after the operative treatment of talar fractures

Kröger, Nils January 2021 (has links) (PDF)
We conducted a single-center-study at the Department of Trauma, Hand, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Julius-Maximilians-University of Wuerzburg with 20 patients after the operative treatment of talar fractures between 2007-2015. Inclusion criteria were a singular, unilateral fracture, no psychiatric comorbidities and >17 years of age. Included were patients with talar neck and body fractures. All patients were treated with screw osteosynthesis. Clinical scores were compiled and the range of motion as well as the pedobarographical performance of each patient was measured. The range of motion of the injured side were significally reduced and correlated with the clinical scores. A higher degree of arthrosis and joint incongruity correlated with poor performance and scores. The degree of the injury correlated with the range of motion as well as the clinical outcome. No significant changes in gait could be found with the pedobarography / Es wurden insgesamt 20 Patienten in dieser retrospektiven single-center Studie untersucht. Diese wurden zwischen von 2007 bis 2015 in der Klinik und Poliklinik für Unfall-, Hand-, Plastische und Wiederherstellungschirurgie der Universitätsklinik Würzburg operativ behandelt. Die Gesamtanzahl der Talusfrakturen in dem genannten Zeitraum betrug n = 91. Die Patientenanzahl, die den genannten Einschlusskriterien wie Alter > 17 Jahre, singuläre Fraktur und keine psychiatrischen Begleiterkrankungen entsprachen, betrug n = 25. Der Nachuntersuchungszeitraum betrug im Mittel 252 Wochen (63 Monate), die Nachuntersuchungsquote beträgt 80%. Die Unfallhergänge waren meist Hochrasanztraumata mit PKW oder Motorrad bzw. Stürze aus großer Höhe (Fallschirmsprung, Baugerüste). Die klinischen Ergebnisse der Patienten wurden anhand von Bewegungsumfang sowie von AOFAS, VAS und MFS als Scores ermittelt. Bei den pedobarographischen Untersuchungen wurden die Kraftmaxima, Spitzendrücke, Kontaktzeiten und Kontaktflächen für den gesamten Fuß, Ferse, Mittelfuß, MFK1, MFK2, MFK3, MFK4, MFK5, Großzehe, zweite Zehe und die Zehen 3, 4, 5 festgestellt. Radiologisch wurde anhand von Röntgen-Aufnahmen der Arthrosegrad und per CT-Aufnahmen die Stufenbildung am Gelenk untersucht. Hiernach erfolgte die statistische Auswertung mittels IBM SPSS Statistics Version 23 für Mac OS. Das Patientenkollektiv bestand aus 16 Männern und vier Frauen mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 30,7 Jahren. Elf der 20 Patienten erlitten eine Talusfraktur nach Hawkins (Drei Typ I, vier Typ II, drei Typ III und eine Fraktur vom Typ IV (in der Modifikation von Canale & Kelly). Neun Patienten erlitten eine Talusfraktur nach Marti & Weber (sechs vom Typ I und drei vom Typ II). Von den 20 Frakturen waren 19 geschlossen und eine offen. Diese offene Fraktur entsprach Grad II nach Gustilo & Anderson. Die durchschnittliche Zeit bis zur OP betrug 4,75 Tage, die durchschnittliche OP-Dauer 119 Minuten (38-255 Minuten) und die durchschnittliche Verweildauer im Krankenhaus insgesamt durchschnittlich 13,2 Tage. Dabei gab es keine Korrelation zwischen Schwere des Traumas und der Dauer des Krankenhausaufenthaltes. Überwiegend wurden die Patienten mittels offener Schraubenosteosynthese versorgt, einmal zusätzlich mit einer Platte und zweimal perkutan. Nach der operativen Versorgung wurde größtenteils eine Teilbelastung von 10-20 kg für 6-12 Wochen angeordnet. Zwei Patienten erlitten eine avaskuläre Talusnekrose (beide Typ Hawkins III). Die Bewegungsumfänge waren im Vergleich zur gesunden Seite auf der verunfallten Seite sowohl im OSG (ROM: 54° ± 13° vs. 39° ± 14°) als auch im USG (ROM: 28° ± 10° vs. 14° ± 10°) insgesamt signifikant eingeschränkt. Es zeigten sich in dieser Studie Score-Ergebnisse beim AOFAS von 66 ± 22 Punkten, beim MFS von 79 ± 17 Punkten und beim VAS von 63 ± 23 Punkten. Hierbei korrelierten die Bewegungsumfänge signifikant mit den Ergebnissen bei den einzelnen Befragungen. Die radiologischen Kontrollen erfolgten im Mittel 640 Tage postoperativ mittels Röntgenaufnahme und oder Computertomographie. Hierbei zeigte sich, dass alle Patienten der Studie von einer Arthrose im verunfallten Fuß betroffen waren (Zehn Patienten Grad I, fünf Patienten Grad II, vier Patienten Grad III und ein Patient Grad IV). Zudem ließen sich in der CT bei mehreren Patienten Stufenbildungen am Gelenk nachweisen (Elf Patienten < 1 mm, sieben Patienten zwischen 1-3 mm und zwei Patienten > 3 mm). Hier zeigte sich, dass je höher Stufe und Arthrosegrad sind, desto schlechter waren die Score-Ergebnisse und der Bewegungsumfang. Dagegen zeigte sich keine Korrelation zwischen der Zeit bis zur OP und der Auswirkung auf die postoperativen Ergebnisse. Zudem gab es keine Korrelation zwischen der Schwere der Verletzung nach Hawkins und der Dauer des Krankenhausaufenthaltes. Es zeigte sich aber, dass Patienten mit postoperativen Komplikationen vielfach eine deutlich verlängerte OP-Zeit aufwiesen und dass das Auftreten von postoperativen Komplikationen zu reduziertem Bewegungsumfang und klinischem Outcome führte. Allerdings zeigten sich in der Pedobarographie der untersuchten Patienten keine signifikanten Alterationen des Gangbildes.

Étude des mécanismes de formation et du comportement des dépôts au pourtour de cellules d’électrolyse d’aluminium

Allard, François January 2014 (has links)
Le Canada est un joueur majeur dans l’industrie de l’aluminium. Pour demeurer compétitif mondialement, le coût de production de l’aluminium doit constamment être réduit. Les cellules d’électrolyse requièrent une grande quantité d’énergie (~13 kWh/kg) pour produire l’aluminium. De plus, l’efficacité du procédé Hall-Héroult est diminuée par la présence de dépôts à l’interface entre l’aluminium et le bloc cathodique. Ces dépôts causent une restriction pour le passage du courant engendrant une augmentation de la perte de potentiel. Les dépôts à la surface du bloc cathodique se divisent en différentes catégories. Il y a le pied de talus qui est situé sous le talus et sur le bloc cathodique. La partie du pied de talus près de la paroi de la cellule d’électrolyse possède une composition chimique similaire au talus. La partie à l’extrémité du pied de talus possède un ratio de cryolite plus élevé que le talus et elle est davantage sursaturée en alumine. L’extrémité du pied de talus peut atteindre jusqu’à 85 % d’Al[indice inférieur 2]O[indice inférieur 3]. Le pied de talus se forme par les pertes de chaleur situées au niveau de la paroi et au fond de la cellule. Il prend de l’expansion lorsque la température locale est inférieure à la température de solidification de la phase Na[indice inférieur 3]AlF[indice inférieur 6] (944 °C à un ratio de cryolite de 2,5). Le ratio de cryolite de l’extrémité du pied de talus augmente puisqu’il y a migration des cations Na[indice supérieur +] vers la cathode. La boue est composée d’un mélange d’Al[indice inférieur 2]O[indice inférieur 3] solide en suspension dans le bain électrolytique liquide. Elle est située, en général, au centre de la cellule d’électrolyse et sur le bloc cathodique. De plus, un film de bain sursaturé en alumine peut se retrouver entre le pied de talus et la boue au centre. Le ratio de cryolite de la boue se situe entre 2,2 et 2,5 et la concentration d’Al[indice inférieur 2]O[indice inférieur 3] varie entre 20 % et 50 %. La température de solidification de la phase Na[indice inférieur 3]AlF[indice inférieur 6] est fortement influencée par l’excès d’AlF[indice inférieur 3] et par la concentration en CaF[indice inférieur 2]. De plus, il y a présence d’une fraction liquide dans les dépôts dès 730 °C compte tenu de la présence de Na[indice inférieur 5]Al[indice inférieur 3]F[indice inférieur 14], Na[indice inférieur 2]Ca[indice inférieur 3]Al[indice inférieur 2]F[indice inférieur 14] et NaCaAlF[indice inférieur 6]. La fraction liquide augmente lorsque le ratio de cryolite diminue. Il y a évaporation de bain acide à partir d’environ 730 °C. Les dépôts dans la cellule d’électrolyse sont donc à l’état solide-liquide dès que la température atteint environ 730 °C.
