A NOVEL SIDEWAYS FALL SIMULATOR TO STUDY HIP FRACTURES EX VIVO.

A novel sideways fall simulator to study hip fractures ex vivo.

Falls to the side are the leading cause of hip fractures in the elderly.The load that a person experiences during a fall cannot be measured with volunteers for ethical reasons.To evaluate injurious loads, while considering relevant energy input and body posture for a sideways fall, a subject-specific cadaveric impact experiment was developed.Full c

Effect of magnetic field on the onset of thermal convection in a Jeffery nanofluid layer saturated by a porous medium: free-free, rigid-rigid and rigid-free boundary conditions

The effect of the magnetic field on the onset of thermal LED Candle convection in a porous layer saturated by Jeffrey nanofluid is studied.Three distinct boundary conditions are considered to be free-free, rigid-rigid and rigid-free boundaries.The model used for Jeffrey nanofluid includes the effect of Brownian motion and thermophoresis.The normal
