Automatic rib labeling and anatomical centerline extraction are common prerequisites for various clinical applications. Prior studies either use in-house datasets that are inaccessible to communities, or focus on rib segmentation that neglects the clinical ...
Chondrocytes within articular cartilage possess the capacity to perceive and react to signals generated by the typical load-bearing actions of daily life, such as walking or running. Articular cartilage is predominantly oriented toward compression-based fu ...
Articular cartilage presents a mechanically sensitive tissue. Chondrocytes, the sole cell type residing in the tissue, perceive and react to physical cues as signals that significantly modulate their behavior. Hyaline cartilage is a connective tissue with ...
While alterations in spinal kinematics have been repeatedly observed in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), their exact nature is still unknown. Specifically, there is a need for comprehensive assessments of multisegment spinal angles during daily- ...
We study a problem motivated by cognitive radio in which the primary is a packet system that employs ARQ feedback. A secondary system is allowed to transmit in the same frequency band provided it ensures that the primary attains a specified target rate. Th ...

Myotomes of adult teleost have a folded shape often referred to as chevron shape. The chevron shape has been proposed to be optimal for the alternating body bending during swimming. Much less is known about which processes underly the ontogenetic developme ...
Patterning of the vertebrate skeleton requires the coordinated activity of Hox genes. In particular, Hox10 proteins are essential to set the transition from thoracic to lumbar vertebrae because of their rib-repressing activity. In snakes, however, the thor ...
The forms of U-shaped UHPFRC beams have not been investigated for the highway footbridge. Compared with the traditional section forms, the U-shaped UHPFRC beams can reduce the material consumption under the condition of providing the same bearing capacity. ...
The tetrapod vertebral column has become increasingly complex during evolution as an adaptation to a terrestrial life. At the same time, the evolution of the vertebral formula became subject to developmental constraints acting on the size of the cervical a ...
The present contribution is devoted to the aero-thermal experimental study of a trapezoidal cross-section model, reproducing a trailing edge cooling cavity with one rib-roughened wall and slots along two opposite walls. Four rib geometries are compared to ...
