Tribochemical Characterization and Tribocorrosive Behavior of CoCrMo Alloys: A Review by Toh, Wei Quan, Tan, Xipeng, Bhowmik, Ayan, Liu, Erjia, Tor, Shu Beng

“…However, poor design and machinability as well as unsatisfactory surface finish subjected the all-metal joint replacement to being superseded by a polyethylene bearing. Continued improvement in manufacturing techniques together with the reality that polyethylene wear debris can cause hazardous reactions in the human body has brought about the revival of metal-on-metal (MOM) hip joints in recent years. …”

Development of image-based method for the quantitative assessment of cartilage damage from CT as a biomarker in osteoarthritis by Zheng, J-Q

“…</p> <p>The next phase included segmenting the cartilage from aligned CT volumes, utilizing a deep learning segmentation method, the Gate Attention-U-net, for enhanced precision and versatility in cartilage segmentation, achieving an 88% DSC and 9um ASD in the tibia's weight-bearing area.</p> <p>After extracting cartilage shape, we compared the thickness and remaining volume of tibial cartilage in the weight-bearing area with a prior semi-manual method, observing a Pearson correlation coefficient (R value) exceeding 0.8 with the semi-manual method (p&lt;0.0001) and a correlation with OA scores from histological images (p&lt;0.05). …”

Experimental study on effects of multi-column removal affecting behaviour of RC frames to mitigate progressive collapse by Ye, Da Wei

“…Various studies were conducted in the last decade with majority focusing on instances whereby only a single load bearing member, such as a column, was removed. However, in most real life accidental situations (terrorist attack/ vehicular impact) involving progressive collapse, they will often result in heavy initial impact that will lead to multi-column loss in a RC structure. …”
