Hip instability was increased in proportion to the severity of acetabular dysplasia. A 3D MRI voxel-based registration technique can show in vivo morphology and kinematics of the native hip without exposure to radioactivity.
The proposed method for measuring articular cartilage using a 3D-digitizer and 3D-CT was accurate and reproducible. In the elderly individuals, acetabular articular cartilage tended to be thicker in the superolateral area and there was the thinnest category (0-0.5 mm) on the posteroinferior lunate surface of the acetabulum. The contour generated along 480 Hounsfield units (HU) was closest to the subchondral bone contour in the elderly hip.
The articular cartilage thickness was distributed in the elderly hindfoot. The subchondral bone plate density was significantly correlated with the anatomic cartilage thickness.
We first achieved ultra-low NiGe specific contact resistivities (ρ c 's) of 2.3x10 -9 Ωcm 2 and 1.9x10 -8 Ωcm 2 , which were both reduced from the best values ever reported by one order of magnitude, for Ge P-and N-MOS, respectively. The keys to the excellent performance were carrier activation enhancement (CAE) techniques using Ge pre-amorphization implant (PAI) or laser anneal (LA) followed by an in-situ contact process. Impact of ultra-low ρ c 's on saturation drive current (Id sat ) was also simulated for ITRS 2015 HP nFinFET.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
