Posterolateral corner reconstruction using hamstrings grafts—A comparative biomechanical study of three techniques

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare three posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction techniques—the popliteofibular loop (PFLoop), the modified LaPrade (LP) and modified Arciero (AR) techniques—in restoring knee laxity in varus (VR), external tibial rotation (ER) and posterior tibial translation (PTT). Methods Nine cadaveric knees were subjected to 8Nm VR, 5Nm

A Simple, Inexpensive Spinning-Drop Interfacial Tensiometer [PDF]

, 1978
A spinning-drop interfacial tensiometer was designed, built, and tested. The device is very simple, inexpensive to build, and easy to operate compared with other spinningdrop tensiometers. The tensiometer measures the interfacial tension of liquid-liquid

Development of a Commercial Tensiometer for Triaxial Testing of Unsaturated Soils

, 2006
A new suction probe, the WF-DU tensiometer, has been developed by Wykeham Farrance in collaboration with Durham University. The performance of the new suction probe is assessed in terms of the minimum negative value of pressure that can be measured by ...

Knee joint line obliquity alters lateral meniscal root tension, tibiofemoral subluxation and compartment‐specific contact pressures

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The objective was to measure effects of joint line obliquity (JLO) on meniscus posterior root tension, tibiofemoral subluxation and contact pressures. It was hypothesised that a medial JLO would increase medial meniscal (MM) root tension, medial tibiofemoral subluxation and medial compartment contact pressure, and vice versa for ...

The Airplane Tensiometer [PDF]

, 1920
Certain parts of an airplane are subjected not only to the stresses imposed by the aerodynamic or flying load, but also to the initial stresses, caused by the tension in the stay and drift wires. Report describes a tensiometer that measures such stresses

Nitrogen doses and water balance components at phenological stages of corn Doses de nitrogênio e componentes do balanço hídrico em fases fenológicas do milho

Scientia Agricola, 2009
Determining the intensity of the water balance components in the control volume of a soil, and consequently defining the most likely periods of occurrence of a water deficit in a crop, is an exercise that requires knowledge about soil, climate and plant ...

Soil water retention measurements using a combined tensiometer-coiled time domain reflectometry probe

, 2002
The objective of the presented study was to develop a single probe that can be used to determine soil water retention curves in both laboratory and field conditions, by including a coiled time domain reflectometry (TDR) probe around the porous cup of a ...

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...
