Esta, no entanto, tem a sua consulta minimizada devido a duas ordens de dificuldades: o—alto custo, aliado ao fato de se tratar de Obra importada, torna-a inacessível à grande maioria dos alunos dos cursos de História; e, em segundo lugar, a desatualização quanto aos "teóricos" da História surgidos na década de 60, particularmente na historiografia francesa, os quais compõem o quadro das principais discussões metodológicas da História em nossos dias. Aliás, cumpre notar que é bastante significativo o fato de que a presente coletânea seja lançada simultaneamente à tradução brasileira do excelente Faire de l'Histoire, o que, no mínimo, evidencia a certeza de que a ciência histórica no Brasil esteja, gradativamente, libertando-se das peias do amadorismo, face à demanda de um público carente de formulações teórico-metodológicas mais sólidas e expressivas.

Resenha do livro: História de Palestina, dos primórdios aos nossos dias
Authors: Etchebehere Junior Lincoln
Published: January 2018

(primeiro parágrafo do texto)O autor se propõe a nos dar uma História da Palestina desde a proto-história até nossos dias, isto é, 1970. A maior parte do livro porém é dedicada à questão do Oriente Médio, à luta entre palestinos e israelis, conforme denominação do autor que são os "cidadãos do Estado de Israel, na sua grande maioria, de religião judaica". Da proto-história até a ocupação britânica, após a Primeira Grande Guerra Mundial (1914/8) temos 228 páginas. As restantes, iniciandô-se no capítulo XI Pax Britannica,  procura explicar as origens dos conflitos árabe-israelense e relatos sobre os mesmos até 1970. Como o próprio autor escreve. Os três últimos capítulos deste livro foram escritos antes dos demais, havendo sido concluidos em agosto de 1969. Os acontecimentos dramáticos do ano de 1970, sobretudo a guerra fratricida de setembro, na Jordânia, exigem uma complementação. Complementação, bem entendido, e não emenda, visto que os prognósticos do capítulo XIII foram confirmados pelos acontecimentos", há parece-me, uma preocupação maior com o conflito árabe-israelense, buscando suas origens e prováveis soluções.

Resenha do livro: 'Histoire de la sexualité. I - La volonté de savoir'
Authors: Silva Maria Beatriz Nizza da
Published: January 2018

(primeiro parágrafo do texto)O primeiro de uma série anunciada de 6 volumes (seguir-se-ão La chair et le corps, La croisade des enfants, La femme, la mère et l'hystérique, Les pervers, Population et rates), este tomo apresenta-se como uma introdução às análises que se vão suceder. Como geralmente acontece nas obras de Michel Foucault, começa-se por apresentar as teses vigentes, aquelas que gozam de maior prestígio que parecem mais firmemente estabelecidas, para em seguida o autor desmoronar esse saber adquirido. Neste caso, a tese gloriosa seria a seguinte: a uma sexualidade livre até ao século XVII seguir-se-ia uma sexualidade reprimida, muda, hipócrita, enfim "vitoriana". Este discurso sobre a moderna repressão do sexo apresenta-se solidamente enraizado, tanto mais que uma caução política protege: "Fazendo surgir a época da repressão no século XVII, depois de algumas centenas de anos de ar livre e de livre expressão, fazem-na coincidir com o desenvolvimento do capitalismo: estaria indissociavelmente ligada à ordem burguesa" (p. 12). Porquê? Os defensores dessa tese não têm a menor dificuldade em explicá-la: se o sexo é reprimido com tanto rigor, é porque é incompatível com uma forma de trabalho geral e intensa. Numa época em que se explora sistematicamente a força de trabalho, poder-se-ia tolerar que ela se desperdiçasse em prazeres, excetuados aqueles, e mesmo assim reduzidos ao mínimo, que lhe permitem reproduzir-se? A causa do sexo e da sua liberdade assume assim as honras de uma causa política. "A idéia do sexo reprimido não é portanto apenas uma questão de teoria". É também uma atitude política de combate à "hipócrita burguesia".
Double Object Constructions and Prepositional Dative Constructions Are Distinct: A Reply to Ormazabal and Romero 2012
Authors: Bruening Benjamin
Published: January 2018

Ormazabal and Romero (2012) take issue with the arguments in Bruening 2010b that certain instances of prepositional dative constructions are really double object constructions. I show that their criticisms, when examined closely, actually support this claim. I also show that their alternative explanation for the facts is not successful. I also expand on the arguments from Bruening 2010b , and further argue that double object constructions must be distinct syntactically and semantically from prepositional dative constructions. The two cannot be derived from the same source.

An Enhancement of Cloud Based Sentiment Analysis and BDAAs Using SVM Based Lexicon Dictionary and Adaptive Resource Scheduling
Authors: Radha S. , Babu C. Nelson Kennedy
Published: January 2018

At present, the cloud computing is emerging technology to run the large set of data capably, and due to fast data growth, processing of large scale data is becoming a main point of information method and customers can estimate the quality of brands of products employing the information
given by new digital marketing channels in social media. Thus, every enterprise requires finding and analyzing a big amount of digital data in order to develop their reputation among the customers. Therefore, in this paper, SLA (Service Level Agreement) based BDAAs (Big Data Analytic Applications)
using Adaptive Resource Scheduling and big data with cloud based sentiment analysis is proposed to provide the deep web mining, QoS and to analyze the customer behaviors about the product. In this process, the spatio-temporal compression technique can be applied to data compression for reduction
of big data. The data is classified in to positive, negative or neutral by employing the SVM with lexicon dictionary based on the customers' behaviors about brand or products. In cloud computing environment, complex to the reduction of resources cost and fluctuation of resource requirements
with BDAAs. As a result, it is needed to have a common Analytics as a Service (AaaS) platform that provides a BDAAs to customers in different fields as unpreserved services in a simple to utilize a way with lower cost. Therefore, SLA based BDAAs is developed to utilize the adaptive resource
scheduling depending on the customer behaviors and it can provide visualization and data integrity. Our method can give privacy of cloud owner's information with help of data integrity and authentication process. Experimental results of proposed system shows that the sentiment analysis method
for online product using cloud based big data is able to classify the opinions of customers accurately and effective of the algorithm in guarantee of SLA.
High Loading Dose of Atorvastatin for the Prevention of Serum Creatinine and Cystatin C-Based Contrast-Induced Nephropathy Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Authors: Fu Naikuan , Liang Min , Yang Shicheng
Published: January 2018

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of high-dose atorvastatin on the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous intervention and observe the incidence of cystatin C (CyC)-based CIN. A total of 496 patients with ACS were randomly assigned to either the control group (247 patients receiving conventional dose atorvastatin 10 mg daily from 1 day before to 3 days after contrast administration) or the high-dose atorvastatin group (249 patients receiving atorvastatin 40 mg daily for the same perioperative period). The baseline characteristics of the 2 groups were similar. The primary end point of serum creatinine (SCr)-based CIN occurred in 31 patients in the control group and 16 patients in the high-dose atorvastatin group (12.6% vs 6.4%; P = .02). Cystatin C–based CIN developed in 90 patients in the control group and 46 patients in the high-dose atorvastatin group (36.4% vs 18.5%; P < .001). A multivariable analysis revealed that high-dose atorvastatin was independently associated with a decreased risk of CIN. Our study demonstrated that prophylactic treatment with high-dose atorvastatin reduced the risk of both SCr and CyC-based CIN and suggested that CyC was a more reliable marker for early diagnosis of CIN compared with SCr.
Analytical Methods to Distinguish the Positive and Negative Spectra of Mineral and Environmental Elements Using Deep Ablation Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
Authors: Kim Dongyoung , Yang Jun-Ho , Choi Soojin , Yoh Jack J.
Published: January 2018

Environments affect mineral surfaces, and the surface contamination or alteration can provide potential information to understanding their regional environments. However, when investigating mineral surfaces, mineral and environmental elements appear mixed in data. This makes it difficult to determine their atomic compositions independently. In this research, we developed four analytical methods to distinguish mineral and environmental elements into positive and negative spectra based on depth profiling data using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The principle of the methods is to utilize how intensity varied with depth for creating a new spectrum. The methods were applied to five mineral samples exposed to four environmental conditions including seawater, crude oil, sulfuric acid, and air as control. The proposed methods are then validated by applying the resultant spectra to principal component analysis and data were classified by the environmental conditions and atomic compositions of mineral. By applying the methods, the atomic information of minerals and environmental conditions were successfully inferred in the resultant spectrum.
Seeds of peace? Land reform and civil war recurrence following negotiated settlements
Authors: Keels Eric , Mason T David
Published: January 2018

Land reform has been depicted by some as an effective element of counterinsurgency strategy in nations experiencing peasant-based civil conflict. While some studies have argued that land reform reduces civilian support for insurgency, other research has demonstrated that these reforms are often undermined by brutal state repression. The study of land reform has also been driven largely by qualitative case study research, which has limited what we know about the cross-national efficacy of these reforms. This study contributes to the current literature by looking at the efficacy of land reform as part of the post-civil war peace process. Specifically, we examine whether land reform provisions included in comprehensive peace agreements reduce the risk of renewed civil war. Measuring the risk of civil war recurrence in all comprehensive peace agreements from 1989–2012, we find that the inclusion of land reform provisions in the post-war peace process substantially reduces the risk of renewed fighting.

Using the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) 7 Nonverbal Battery to Identify the Gifted/Talented: An Investigation of Demographic Effects and Norming Plans
Authors: Carman Carol A. , Walther Christine A. P. , Bartsch Robert A.
Published: January 2018

The nonverbal battery of the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) is one of the two most common nonverbal measures used in gifted identification, yet the relationships between demographic variables and CogAT7 performance has not yet been fully examined. Additionally, the effect of using the CogAT7 nonverbal battery on the identification of diverse demographic groups based on various norming, cutoff, and modifier plans has only just begun to be explored. In this study, we analyzed the CogAT7 nonverbal battery scores of kindergartners from a very large urban school district with a high minority, low socioeconomic status, and high English language learner population to determine the relationships between demographic variables and CogAT performance. The results suggest relationships between CogAT scores and multiple demographic variables, similar to other nonverbal instruments. We also examined the effects of various norming practices, including school-level and group-specific norming, on identification using the CogAT7 nonverbal battery.
Making the Cut in Gifted Selection: Score Combination Rules and Their Impact on Program Diversity
Authors: Lakin Joni M.
Published: January 2018

The recommendation of using “multiple measures” is common in policy guidelines for gifted and talented assessment systems. However, the integration of multiple test scores in a system that uses cut-scores requires choosing between different methods of combining quantitative scores. Past research has indicated that OR combination rules (where any one score must meet the cutoff) have been shown to identify the largest number of students compared with AND (where all scores must meet cutoff) and AVERAGE (where the numerical average is used) rules. We extended this work to a real data set (Grades K to 5 from the CogAT 7 national standardization data) and found that the different combination rules led to differences in the number and diversity of students identified. However, we found these diversity differences were due mainly to the identified pool size and not to the effects of the particular combination rule. This has important implications for practice.
Gender and highbrow cultural participation in Europe: The effect of societal gender equality and development
Authors: Lagaert Susan , Roose Henk
Published: January 2018

Existing individual-level research links women’s higher participation in high-status cultural activities to their position in work and family spheres. This article studies how cross-national variation in women’s and men’s cultural participation relates to societal care- and work-related gender equality and development. Multilevel analyses on Eurobarometer data (2013) indicate that male engagement in the feminine domain of care and societal development stimulates frequent participation in highbrow culture, but more for men than for women, thus partly explaining gender gap variation in highbrow cultural participation across European Union countries. We conclude that men play an important but underestimated role in the explanation of the gender gap.
Interactive educational tool for the design of compensators using frequency response analysis
Authors: Yadav Drishti , Patel RN
Published: January 2018

This article provides a didactic platform that is developed to improve the teaching as well as learning of “design of compensators” in control systems engineering. The educational tool comprises a graphical user interface in MATLAB. The graphical user interface permits an individual to investigate various parameters involved in the design of the required compensator, which includes percentage overshoot, peak time, and velocity error constant and observe the results dynamically as the parameters change. The approach used in this article for the design of compensators is based on the frequency response analysis. One can obtain various plots including unit step response plot, Bode plot, and root locus plot for uncompensated and compensated systems to have a better understanding of the designed compensator.
Novelty and Usefulness Trade-Off: Cultural Cognitive Differences and Creative Idea Evaluation
Authors: McCarthy Marina , Chen Chao C. , McNamee Robert C.
Published: January 2018

Creativity and innovation have become critical organizational capabilities in today’s global environment, and leveraging creative potential of employees across various cultural contexts has become increasingly important. Although recognized among researchers, cross-cultural differences in creativity are not yet well understood. We contribute to this line of research by constructing a theoretical model that focuses on cultural differences in cognition (i.e., holistic vs. analytic thinking) that affect the evaluation of creative ideas. The cultural cognition perspective allows us to theorize about the interrelationship between an idea’s novelty and its usefulness. We propose that to the extent there is a trade-off between an idea’s novelty and usefulness, cultural differences in cognition will systematically influence the trade-off relationship such that Easterners will perceive a stronger trade-off between novelty and usefulness as compared with their Western counterparts. Such effects of cultural cognition, however, can be reduced by contextual factors of multicultural exposure, cognitive team diversity, and organizational climate for innovation. Our cultural cognition perspective complements the extant cultural value and social norms perspectives on cross-cultural differences in creativity and innovation.
Global-, Regional-, and Country-Level Economic Impacts of Dental Diseases in 2015
Authors: Righolt A.J. , Jevdjevic M. , Marcenes W. , Listl S.
Published: January 2018

Up-to-date information about the economic impact of dental diseases is essential for health care decision makers when seeking to make rational use of available resources. The purpose of this study was to provide up-to-date estimates for dental expenditures (direct costs) and productivity losses (indirect costs) due to dental diseases on the global, regional, and country level. Direct costs of dental diseases were estimated using a previously established systematic approach; indirect costs were estimated using an approach developed by the World Health Organization Commission on Macroeconomics and Health and factoring in 2015 values for gross domestic product and disability-adjusted life years from the Global Burden of Disease Study. The estimated direct costs of dental diseases amounted to $356.80 billion and indirect costs were estimated at $187.61 billion, totaling worldwide costs due to dental diseases of $544.41 billion in 2015. After adjustment for purchasing power parity, the highest levels of per capita dental expenditures were found for High-Income North America, Australasia, Western Europe, High-Income Asia Pacific, and East Asia; the highest levels of per capita productivity losses were found for Western Europe, Australasia, High-Income North America, High-Income Asia Pacific, and Central Europe. Severe tooth loss was found to imply 67% of global productivity losses due to dental diseases, followed by severe periodontitis (21%) and untreated caries (12%). From an economic perspective, improvements in population oral health may be highly beneficial and could contribute to further increases in people’s well-being given available resources.
Assembling gentrification in Istanbul: The Cihangir neighbourhood of Beyoğlu
Authors: Yetiskul Emine , Demirel Sule
Published: January 2018

This paper aims to contribute to the gentrification literature through the potentials of assemblage thinking. We focus on gentrification in Istanbul, which represents the characteristics of both the Global South and North, and use assemblages to link together gentrification and the temporal scales of Istanbul’s urbanisation as well as geographical scales of gentrification around the world. Approaching gentrification as a continual process of transformation and emergence, we intend to illuminate how assemblages of gentrification in a historical inner-city neighbourhood, Cihangir, can be produced and reproduced in the trajectory of this neighbourhood. In so doing, we reveal and explore the role of the state in seemingly market-led gentrification and draw attention to the generative potentiality in the local resistance to the recent state-led gentrification of Cihangir.
The Complexities of Family Caregiving at Work: A Mixed-Methods Study
Authors: Gaugler Joseph E. , Pestka Deborah L. , Davila Heather , Sales Rebecca , Owen Greg , Baumgartner Sarah A. , Shook Rocky , Cunningham Jane , Kenney Maureen
Published: January 2018

The current project examined the impact of caregiving and caregiving–work conflict on employees’ well-being. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design (QUAN→qual) was utilized, and a total of 880 employees from a large health-care plan employer completed an online survey. Forty-five caregivers who completed the survey also participated in one of the five focus groups held 1 to 2 months later. Employed caregivers were significantly ( p < .05) more likely to indicate poorer physical and mental health than noncaregivers; among caregivers ( n = 370), caregiving–work conflict emerged as the most significant predictor of well-being and fully mediated the empirical relationship between burden and well-being. The focus group findings complemented the quantitative results; many of the challenges employed caregivers experience stem from their ability or inability to effectively balance their employment and caregiving roles. The results suggest the need to focus on caregiving–work conflict when constructing new or translating existing evidence-based caregiver interventions.

This study examined associations between parents’ and young adults’ communication competence in the contexts of face-to-face (FtF) and technologically mediated communication (TMC). We investigated the role of family communication patterns in parental socialization of communication competence. In our investigation, we focused on two distinct aspects of communication competence: effectiveness and appropriateness. Analyzing self-report data of 104 parent-child dyads, we found that parents’ self-reported FtF communication appropriateness was directly associated with children’s self-reported FtF and TMC appropriateness. Children’s reports of conversation orientation were positively associated with their self-reported FtF and TMC effectiveness. Additionally, parents’ reports of conformity orientation were positively linked to children’s self-reported FtF communication appropriateness. These findings suggest that parental influences may manifest through different mechanisms for children’s communication effectiveness and appropriateness. Further, parents and family communication play important roles in children’s development of communication competence not only in FtF interactions, but also in TMC interactions.

This study is among the first examining lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) service members in the United States following the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy repeal. Higher levels of outness predict better mental health among general LGB populations. The military environment, like other traditional/conservative settings, may alter this relation; however, no data are available on outness among LGB service members in the United States. We examined 236 service members’ level of outness and satisfaction with outness in relation to depression and anxiety symptoms. Results revealed greater level of outness was related to higher satisfaction with outness, with each variable related to better mental health. Importantly, satisfaction fully mediated the relation between level of outness and mental health, indicating satisfaction to be a more salient predictor than level alone. Findings relevant to military policy makers and health-care providers are discussed along with recommendations for advancement of research into outness among LGB people.
The use of temporal factors for improved CO2 emissions accounting in buildings
Authors: Evans Barny , Sidat Sabbir
Published: January 2018

This paper is an investigation into the issues around how we calculate CO2 emissions in the built environment. At present, in Building Regulations and GHG Protocol calculations used for buildings and corporate CO2 emissions calculations, it is standard to use a single number for the CO2 emission factor of each source. This paper considers how energy demand, particularly electricity at different times of the day, season and even year can differ in terms of its CO2 emissions. This paper models three different building types (retail, office and home) using standard software to estimate a profile of energy demand. It then considers how CO2 emissions calculations differ between using the single standard emissions factor and using an hourly emissions factor based on real electrical grid generation over a year. The paper also examines the impact of considering lifetime emissions factors rather than one-year factors using UK government projections. The results show that there is a significant difference to the analysis of benefit in terms of CO2 emissions from different measures – both intra- and inter-year – due to the varying CO2 emissions intensity, even when they deliver the same amount of net energy saving. Other factors not considered in this paper, such as impact on peak generation and air quality, are likely to be important when considering whole-system impacts. In line with this, it is recommended that moves are made to incorporate intra- and inter-year emissions factor changes in methodologies for calculating CO2 emissions. (This is particularly important as demand side response and energy storage, although generally accepted as important in the decarbonisation of the energy system at present will show as an increase in CO2 emissions when using a single number.) Further work quantifying the impact on air quality and peak generation capacity should also be considered.

Practical application: This paper aims to help practitioners to understand the performance gap between how systems need to be designed in order to meet regulations compared to how buildings perform in reality – both today and in the future. In particular, it considers the use of ‘real-time’ carbon factors in order to attain long-term CO2 reductions. This methodology enables decision makers to understand the impacts of different energy reduction technologies, considering each of their unique characteristics and usage profiles. If implemented, the result is a simple-to-use dataset which can be embedded into the software packages already available onto the market which mirrors the complexity of the electricity grid that is under-represented through the use of a static carbon figure.
Entrepreneurship and financial inclusion through the lens of instrumental freedoms
Authors: Kimmitt Jonathan , Muñoz Pablo
Published: January 2018

This article investigates the interrelated nature of instrumental freedoms and how they combine to engender financial inclusion among low-income entrepreneurs. Drawing from Sen’s capabilities approach, we emphasize a need for understanding the freedoms associated with institutional arrangements and the complex causal processes that lead to financial inclusion among micro-entrepreneurs. We perform a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis of 19 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The findings indicate four causal combinations for financial inclusion. Our findings indicate that no single instrumental freedom is necessary for financial inclusion; it does not necessarily depend on the provision of microfinance and that political freedom is an important peripheral condition for inclusion. This allows us to question some of the assumptions about how microfinance operates amid a set of complex institutional instrumental freedoms.
Founding logics, technology validation, and the path to commercialization
Authors: Ciuchta Michael P , Miner Anne S , Kim June-Young , O’Toole Jay
Published: January 2018

Considerable research has demonstrated that small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who obtain institutionalized third-party endorsements experience higher performance. In this study, we develop an important boundary condition around this process. Drawing on institutional logics, we introduce the novel concept of founding logics. We then develop and test a theory in which founding logics play a role in both an SME’s decision to seek a third-party endorsement for the firm’s technology and then the likelihood that the SME will generate revenues based on the technology receiving the endorsement. Notably, our theory and results suggest that a founding logic that may compel an SME to seek technology validation can also impede the SME’s ultimate commercialization ability.
Triple-split-bolus versus single-bolus CT in abdominal trauma patients: a comparative study
Authors: Godt Johannes Clemens , Eken Torsten , Schulz Anselm , Johansen Cathrine K , Aarsnes Anette , Dormagen Johann Baptist
Published: January 2018

Background

Split-bolus computed tomography (CT) is a recent development in trauma imaging. Instead of multiple scans in different contrast phases after a single contrast bolus, split-bolus protocols consist of one single scan of the thorax and abdomen after two or three contrast injections at different points of time.

Purpose

To evaluate and compare image quality and injury findings of a new triple-split-bolus CT (TS-CT) protocol of thorax and abdomen with those of a portal venous phase CT (PV-CT) in the same patient group.

Material and Methods

Trauma patients in 2009–2012 who underwent both the TS-CT initially and a PV-CT during the next six weeks were included. The TS-CT examination was performed as one CT run after application of three contrast boluses (total 175 mL) to enhance renal pelvis and urinary tract, the abdominal organs, and the large arterial vessels. The PV-CT had a fixed delay of 85 s. We measured attenuation in Hounsfield units (HU), evaluated possible organ injury and assessed image quality on a 5-point scale.

Results

Thirty-five patients were included. Attenuation measurements of major abdominal vessels, organs, and renal pelvis were significantly higher with the TS-CT protocol. Performance in organ injury diagnosis and image quality was equal in both protocols.

Conclusion

The overall performance of the TS-CT protocol is similar to the standard PV-CT. Excellent visualization of the arterial tree and the collecting system may eliminate the need for separate scans.

Objective

The aim of this study was to determine whether an expanded newborn screening programme, which is not yet available in Slovenia, would have detected the first two patients with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency in the country. Two novel ACADM mutations are also described.

Methods

Both patients were diagnosed clinically; follow-up involved analysis of organic acids in urine, acylcarnitines in dried blood spots, and genetic analysis of ACADM. Cut-off values of acylcarnitines in newborns were established using analysis of 10,000 newborns in a pilot screening study.

Results

In both patients, analysis of the organic acids in urine showed a possible β-oxidation defect, while the specific elevation of acylcarnitines confirmed MCAD deficiency. Subsequent genetic analysis confirmed the diagnosis; both patients were compound heterozygotes, each with one novel mutation (c.861 + 2T > C and c.527_533del). The results from a retrospective analysis of newborn screening cards clearly showed major elevations of MCAD-specific acylcarnitines in the patients.

Conclusions

An expanded newborn screening programme would be beneficial because it would have detected MCAD deficiency in both patients before the development of clinical signs. Our study also provides one of the first descriptions of ACADM mutations in Southeast Europe.
The influence of fiber migration on the mechanical properties of yarns with hierarchical helical structures
Authors: Zheng Shimin , Liu Dabiao , He Yuming
Published: January 2018

An analytical method is presented for studying the influence of fiber migration on the mechanical properties of a yarn with two-level helical structures. The theory of ideal migration is applied to the seven-ply yarn, which results in the exchange of the interior structure of the yarn. A bottom-up method for analyzing the internal forces and stresses of the yarn under axial tension and torsion is developed. The influence of fiber migration is demonstrated by making contrast between the mechanical responses of carbon nanotube yarns with and without fiber migration. The numerical results show that there is a periodical non-monotonic variation in both the internal forces and the stresses with the length of yarn. A stress concentration is revealed around the half-cycle migration point and the one-cycle migration point. It is shown that the chirality, initial helix angle, and the fiber migration pattern can be used to control the mechanical performance of yarns.

Published: January 2018

Background:

The J-bone graft is presumably representative of iliac crest bone grafts in general and allows anatomic glenoid reconstruction in cases of bone defects due to recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations. As a side effect, these grafts have been observed to be covered by some soft, cartilage-like tissue when arthroscopy has been indicated after such procedures.

Purpose:

To evaluate the soft tissue covering of J-bone grafts by use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histological analysis.

Study Design:

Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Methods:

Patients underwent MRI at 1 year after the J-bone graft procedures. Radiological data were digitally processed and evaluated by segmentation of axial images. Independent from the MRI analysis, 2 biopsy specimens of J-bone grafts were harvested for descriptive histological analysis.

Results:

Segmentation of the images revealed that all grafts were covered by soft tissue. This layer had an average thickness of 0.87 mm compared with 1.96 mm at the adjacent native glenoid. Of the 2 biopsy specimens, one exhibited evident hyaline-like cartilage and the other presented patches of chondrocytes embedded in a glycosaminoglycan-rich extracellular matrix.

Conclusion:

J-bone grafts are covered by soft tissue that can differentiate into fibrous and potentially hyaline cartilage. This feature may prove beneficial for delaying the onset of dislocation arthropathy of the shoulder.
