The powder process is dynamic at the microscale level. Due to the capillary effect, the viscous attraction of the liquid phase between particles alters the strength and stability of wet granular materials. In this paper, experiments on the rupture behavior of the funicular liquid bridge between three rigid spheres have been presented. The results show that the peak force and rupture distance of the funicular liquid bridges are affected by the size and relative position of the spheres, volume and viscosity of the liquid, and separation rate; the coalescence of the liquid bridges causes a decrease in peak force and an increase in rupture distance, and the rupture distance shows a nonmonotonic functional correlation with the separation rate. Finally, an empirical equation of the correlation between the rupture distance and liquid volume is proposed, whose rationality is verified by comparing it with the results of the existing models.

Aftershocks can cause additional damage or even lead to the collapse of structures already weakened by a mainshock. Scarcity of in-situ recorded aftershock accelerograms heightens the need to develop synthetic aftershock ground motions. These synthesized motions are crucial for assessing the cumulative seismic demand on structures subjected to mainshock-aftershock sequences.

Background: Chorioamnionitis is recognized as a major consequence of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), and a frequent cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The association between fetal heart rate (FHR) and chorioamnionitis remains unclear.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of FHR in a PPROM population at the approach of delivery according to the presence or absence of chorioamnionitis.
Background: Short-term follow-up studies have reported favorable clinical outcomes after arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) for irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Purpose: To assess whether these positive outcomes are maintained long-term and whether cuff tear arthropathy worsens over time after fascia lata autograft SCR.
Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Purpose: Asymmetric anterior closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (ACWHTO) allows correction of both excessive posterior tibial slope (PTS) and varus deformity. However, the complexity of this surgery requires a high degree of accuracy, which is less likely to be achieved with standard instrumentations. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of 3D patient-specific cutting guides (PSCGs) to provide the accurate planned correction in the frontal and sagittal planes.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with rectal perforation during various surgical interventions for presacral cysts.
Methods: This retrospective study included 73 participants from 2013 to 2023 who met the inclusion criteria. Participants underwent surgical treatments through transabdominal, perineal, or combined approaches.
