## Abstract A controversy has developed around the question as to whether bone density values from the distal radius can be used to accurately predict risk of future fractures. To address this question, two separate studies were undertaken: (a) Bone density was measured in 460 healthy ambulatory wo

The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of the choice of "plasticity theory-inspired" SMA model in the prediction of the shape of phase transformation domains. In this field a comparison is made between Huber-Von Mises based model and an another integrating the asymmetry between tension and c
Crack propagation in rocks is simulated by using a displacement substitution method based on a mixed mode fracture criterion. The main advantage of this model is that it can distinguish between mode I and mode II stress intensity factors simultaneously. A typical finite element program is used to co
The lack of quantitative analysis and general scientific rigour in environmental impact assessment (EIA) is well documented. While reasons for this may include political and economic factors, the lack of high-level statistical knowledge and skills in environmental consultancies probably contributes
Many fractures occur in individuals without osteoporosis defined by areal bone mineral density (aBMD). Inclusion of other aspects of skeletal strength may be useful in identifying at-risk subjects. We used surrogate measures of bone strength at the radius and tibia measured by peripheral quantitativ
## Abstract Research has shown that there is a dramatic increase in the fractional area of calcified fibrocartilage from tendon and capsular insertions on the human femoral neck (Vajda and Bloebaum, 1999; Shea et al., 2001b). Additional information regarding the properties of the proximal femur's c
