Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the flexion point's location of the ilio-femoral arterial axis and its angulation.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-seven dynamic digital subtraction angiographies were analyzed and were included in the current study. Different lengths were measured, based on specific anatomical landmarks: the origin of the external iliac artery, the inguinal ligament and the bifurcation of the femoral artery. These lengths were measured in extension and during flexion of the hip in order to determine the flexion point of the artery.

Results: In extension, some physiological angulations of the external iliac artery were measured. During flexion of the hip joint, the distance from the kink point to the bifurcation of the common iliac artery was respectively 82 ± 21 mm (range 48-116) on the right side and 95 ± 20 mm (range 59-132) on the left side. The distance from the kink point to the inguinal ligament was respectively 38 ± 40 mm (range 12-138) on the right side and 26 ± 23 mm (range 8-136) on the left side. The distance from the kink point to the bifurcation of the femoral artery was respectively 45 ± 29 mm (range 15-107) on the right side and 27 ± 12 mm (range 10-66) on the left side. During flexion, the angulation of the flexion point of the ilio-femoral axis was 114 ± 18° (range 81-136°).

Conclusions: The flexion point was located cranially to the inguinal ligament and below the departure of the external iliac artery.

This research used a modified and extended auxiliary mapping method to examine the optical soliton solutions of the truncated time M-fractional paraxial wave equation. We employed the truncated time M-fractional derivative to eliminate the fractional order in the governing model. The few optical wave examples of the paraxial wave condition can assume an insignificant part in depicting the elements of optical soliton arrangements in optics and photonics for the investigation of different actual cycles, including the engendering of light through optical frameworks like focal points, mirrors, and fiber optics.

This study explores the Ivancevic Option Pricing Model, a nonlinear wave-based alternative to the Black-Scholes model, using adaptive nonlinear Schrödingerr equations to describe the option-pricing wave function influenced by stock price and time. Our focus is on a comprehensive analysis of this equation from multiple perspectives, including the study of soliton dynamics, chaotic patterns, wave structures, Poincaré maps, bifurcation diagrams, multistability, Lyapunov exponents, and an in-depth evaluation of the model's sensitivity. To begin, a wave transformation is applied to convert the partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation, from which soliton solutions are derived using the [Formula: see text] method.

Since Jane Goodall's famous observations of stick tool use by chimpanzees, animal tool use has been observed in numerous species, including many primates, dolphins, and birds. Some animals, such as New Caledonian crows, even craft tools. Elephants frequently use tools and also modify them.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates defects in carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) after low-velocity impacts using X-ray techniques, noting that practical monitoring in the field is challenging.
  • - The research identifies and categorizes defects ranging from 1 nm to 1 mm, correlating these with material properties like fiber orientation and density, using machine learning to analyze the data.
  • - Three damage domains are found: severe damage with visible dents, intact areas with no defects, and transition zones with detectable defects, highlighting the relationship between parameters from different measurement techniques.
