Upper extremities

Figure A1.12 shows the phase diagram for ice. (The pressures are so large that steam appears only at the extreme upper left.) There are eight different solid phases of ice, each with a different crystal structure. 

For after all, Mendeleyev s table has a pretty odd periodicity. The 1869 version has several unevenly sized blocks. In today s version (Fig. 8) these blocks are still there. They split apart the first row, containing just hydrogen and helium, so that hydrogen is at the extreme upper left and helium at the extreme upper right. ... 

Of the fast neutrons produced in fission, some of them will be moderated to thermal energies and will induce other fission reactions while others will be lost. The ratio of the number of neutrons in the next generation to that in the previous generation is called the multiplication factor k. If the value of k is less than 1, then the reactor is subcritical and the fission process is not self-sustaining. If the value of k is greater than 1, then the number of fissions will accelerate with time and the reactor is supercritical. The goal of reactor operation is to maintain the system in a critical state with k exactly equal to 1. The extreme upper limit for the multiplication factor would correspond to the mean number of neutrons per fission ( 2.5 for 235U(n,f)) if each neutron produces a secondary fission. 

Ordinal data tend not to form normal distributions. For a start, it is often recorded on scales with a very limited number of possible values. Scales of four, five or six points are frequently seen. In such cases, it is impossible for the data to form the sort of smooth, bell-shaped distribution that constitutes a true normal distribution. However, then the problem is further exacerbated. Although there is no necessary reason for it, anybody who has worked with real-world, ordinal data knows that it is frequently hideously non-normal. Offered a scale of possible scores, people will quite frequently do bizarre things like only using the extreme upper and lower values but not the middle ones, or else they will produce a completely flat distribution, with no peak frequencies anywhere. No amount of mathematical transformation is going to convert that sort of mess into anything remotely resembling a normal distribution.

On these circuits, there are lower points, and among them there is a point which is the first one on the left. We shall call it the extremal lower point. In the same way, the extremal upper point will be the upper point on the left. 

In fact, let us consider a cycle with N links and a cycle with M links. Let us set these cycles on the lattice in such a way that the extremal lower point of the first one is exactly above the extremal upper point of the second one (see Fig. 3.3). We can open the cycles by removing, from each of them, the horizontal links which...

For the temperature component of the modeling framework, the initial temperature is set to be the ambient temperature (300 K). Thermal boundary conditions on the tooling surfaces are considered in the forms of a specified boundary temperature or heat flux. The temperatures of the two extreme upper and lower surfaces of the external spacers are assumed to be constant of 300 K. Heat loss due to radiation is considered at the lateral surfaces to be / = — Wq), where/is the heat flux...

This Handbook is organized into three main sections. The first section, which consists of three chapters, reviews the basic scientific, engineering, and clinical foundations for UHMWPE. For example, in Chapter 2, we explain how UHMWPE must be formed into bulk components from the resin powder using extrusion or compression molding techniques. In Chapter 3, we review the techniques associated with sterilization and packaging of UHMWPE implants. Chapters 5-12 cover the basic clinical applications of UHMWPE in the lower extremities, upper extremities, and the spine.
