The Relationship between Acetabular Osteolytic Lesion Volume and Polyethylene Wear in Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty
Osteolysis has been attributed to polyethylene debris and higher wear rates have been associated with an increased incidence of osteolysis. While several recent studies have used computed tomography to examine...

Auto-Oscillated Vibration of Single Oil Droplets
Quasi periodic oscillation of the interfacial tension or electrochemical potential has sometimes been reported in oil/water/surfacant systems [1–5]. Besides the unique characteristics of these phenomena, periodic...

Electrochemical Modification of Titanium and Silicon Surfaces Using the Scanning Tunneling Microscope
Nanoscale oxide patterns were fabricated electrochemically on surfaces of titanium (Ti) and silicon (Si) using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Oxide patterns were formed arbitrarily along STM tip traces...

Excited State Behaviors of Ruthenium(II) Complexes as Studied by Time Resolved and Temperature and Solvent Dependent Emission Spectra
Ruthenium(II) complexes are widely investigated electron transfer sensitizers (Kalyanasundaram 1982). The main reasons are ; i) the appropriate oxidation and reduction potentials, ii) the long excited state li...

Structure, Possible Function, and Biosynthesis of VPg, the Genome-linked Protein of Poliovirus
Poliovirus has attracted immense medical interest in the first 70 years of this century as it has caused epidemics of the dreaded paralytic disease, poliomyelitis. During this period poliovirus became a protot...
