The L-shaped laterally graded multilayer mirror is a vital part of the ultrahigh-energy and momentum-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering spectrometer at the National Synchrotron Light Source II. This mirror was designed and implemented as a two-dimensional collimating optic for the analyzer system. Its performance was characterized using a secondary large-divergence source at the 30-ID beamline of the Advanced Photon Source, which yielded an integrated reflectivity of 47% and a collimated beam divergence of 78 µrad with a source size of 10 µm. Numerical simulations of the mirror performance in tandem with the analyzer crystal optics provided details on the acceptance sample volume in forward scattering and defined the technical requirements on the mirror stability and positioning precision. It was shown that the mirror spatial and angular stability must be in the range <8.4 µm and <21.4 µrad, respectively, for reliable operation of the analyzer.

Understanding the reciprocal interaction between root development and coadapted beneficial microbes in response to elevated CO (eCO) will facilitate the identification of nutrient-efficient cultivars for sustainable agriculture. Here, systematic morphological, anatomical, chemical and gene expression assays performed under low-nitrogen conditions revealed that eCO drove the development of the endodermal barrier with respect to L-/S-shaped lateral roots (LRs) in rice. Next, we applied metabolome and endodermal-cell-specific RNA sequencing and showed that rice adapts to eCO by spatially recruiting diazotrophs via flavonoid secretion in L-shaped LRs.

Background: Lateral intra-articular varus osteotomy is an L-shaped osteotomy of the lateral tibial condyle to correct mild knee valgus and lateral plateau malunion of the proximal tibia. In order to minimize injury, it was modified to preserve the posterolateral cortex and the upper tibiofibular joint. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of modified lateral intra-articular varus osteotomy by comparing the biomechanical strength with lateral intra-articular varus osteotomy.

Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the potential relationship between shoulder anatomical parameters and the shape of rotator cuff tears (L-shaped, U-shaped, and crescent-shaped).
Materials And Methods: The study included 160 (n:160) patients. Patients were divided into four groups: crescent type, u type and L type tears and control group.

Chiba osteotomy is an effective technique for advanced knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The principle of the osteotomy is to correct both varus deformity and intra-articular joint congruity through an L-shaped osteotomy from the medial tibial condyle to the lateral intercondylar eminence. Previous studies have demonstrated that Chiba osteotomy is an effective method for alignment correction surgery for severe knee osteoarthritis.

Avulsions of the retrospinal surface are rare injuries resulting from high-energy trauma. Displacement of this fracture frequently indicates a surgical treatment to restore posterior cruciate ligament function. Several approaches have been proposed in the literature, either open or arthroscopic, which can be tricky due to the fracture's proximity to the popliteal vascular-nervous elements.
