Background: Open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is commonly utilized to correct genu varum.To decrease various complications of OWHTO, some modifications are needed.Methods: In a parallel randomized controlled clinical trial, 42 patients were divided into two groups: conventional OWHTO (control group) and OWHTO with the cut in the sagittal pla
Analysing the impact of COVID-19 risk perceptions on route choice behaviour in train networks
Introduction Unlike previous pandemics, COVID-19 has sustained over a relatively longer period with cyclical infection waves and numerous variants.Public transport ridership has been hit particularly hard.To restore travellers’ confidence it is critical to assess their risk determinants and trade-offs.Methods To this end, we survey train travelle
Investigation of Asymmetric Twin-Rudder Load Behaviour Through Free-Running Model Tests
During tight manoeuvres, twin-screw ships equipped with two rudders located in the propeller slip stream experience a fairly large imbalance in the hydrodynamic loads on the propeller and rudders.To investigate the phenomenon of rudder asymmetric load in some depth, manoeuvring experiments based on a free-running model were Champagne Flutes set up
