Pyrocarbon hemiarthroplasty and the shoulder: biomechanical and clinical results of an emerging treatment option [PDF]
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow, 2023 While shoulder hemiarthroplasty is still used to treat young patients with shoulder pathology, the use of this procedure has substantially declined in recent years due to its significant complication profile.

Stable $π$-radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) adsorbed at the elbows of $22\times\sqrt{3}$ reconstructed Au(111) [PDF]
Surface Science 700, 121676 (2020), 2021 Stable organic radicals serve as model systems for investigating metal-free magnetic phenomena at (sub)nanometer length scales. We have investigated at the single-molecule level the stable $\pi$-radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) adsorbed at the elbow sites of the $22\times\sqrt{3}$ reconstructed Au(111) surface.

Universal and Automatic Elbow Detection for Learning the Effective Number of Components in Model Selection Problems [PDF]
Digital Signal Processing, Volume 140, 2023, 104103, 2023 We design a Universal Automatic Elbow Detector (UAED) for deciding the effective number of components in model selection problems. The relationship with the information criteria widely employed in the literature is also discussed. The proposed UAED does not require the knowledge of a likelihood function and can be easily applied in diverse applications,

Spectral information criterion for automatic elbow detection [PDF]
Expert Systems with Applications, Volume 231, 30 November 2023,
120705, 2023 We introduce a generalized information criterion that contains other well-known information criteria, such as Bayesian information Criterion (BIC) and Akaike information criterion (AIC), as special cases. Furthermore, the proposed spectral information criterion (SIC) is also more general than the other information criteria, e.g., since the knowledge of

Stop using the elbow criterion for k-means and how to choose the number of clusters instead [PDF]
, 2022 A major challenge when using k-means clustering often is how to choose the parameter k, the number of clusters. In this letter, we want to point out that it is very easy to draw poor conclusions from a common heuristic, the "elbow method". Better alternatives have been known in literature for a long time, and we want to draw attention to some of these ...
