The Measurement of Normal Talus in Korean Cadaver

Abstract

Purpose:To investigate the measured values of the talus in Koreans. Materials and Methods:We measured 88 tali from 44 cadavers that have been donated between December 2012 and December 2015. Of the cadavers, 27 were male and 17 were female. Their mean age was 73 years. The length and width of the talus were measured using a digital goniometer and vernier caliper. Conclusion:This paper, to the best of our knowledge, is the first study to measure the talus in Koreans. There were differences by gender and ethnicity in the in measured talus values. The measurements were smaller than European-Americans and greater than Japanese.

Chemical Effect on Surface Plasmon Damping in One‐Dimensional Single Gold Microrods

“…The AuMRs with high scattering and absorption cross sections exhibit unique sizeand shape-dependent optical properties. 8 The large scattering and absorption cross sections of AuMRs result from the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which is the collective oscillation of the conduction band electrons with the incident light. 8 Furthermore, AuMRs show multipolar LSPR peaks caused by phase retardation of the applied field inside the microrod.…”
