Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

Long‐term results of the Musset surgical technique in the treatment of recto‐vaginal fistulas
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Recto‐vaginal fistulas (RVF) are a rare pathology, mostly affecting developing countries. They are mainly obstetrical (88% of cases) and have an incidence of 0.5%. Musset's surgical technique in the management of RVF has been the subject of few studies and there is little data in the literature concerning the evaluation of its long ...

Gait alterations increase friction of degenerated articular cartilage: A tribological study
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose To investigate the effect of gait alterations associated with osteoarthritis (OA) on the frictional properties of porcine articular cartilage (AC) in intact and degenerative conditions. Methods Forty‐eight cylindrical AC samples were harvested from 12 porcine femur condyles and equally divided between four groups with n = 12 samples ...
