"Combination -Interval Cycles in Igor Stravinsky's ""Canticum Sacrum"""
… Igor Stravinsky's serial practice in Canticum Sacrum (1955), specifically the relationship between the two twelve-tone series employed in the middle three movements. Two disparate investigations eventually led to the formulation of a pair of ""ladder of thirds"" combination-interval cycles. The …

The Sanctity of the State under Frederick Barbarossa (1152 - 1190): Saint Charlemagne and the sacrum imperium
… showing how scholars gradually came to consider sacrum imperium, the phrase from which the title Holy Roman Empire evolved, as the motto of Frederick and Rainald’s imperial ideology. In the postwar period the translation of the bodies of the Three Kings from Milan to Cologne in 1164 by Rainald of …

The influence of developmental patterns on vertebrate evolution, with the evolution of the sacrum and pelvis as a case study
… pelvic girdle (ilia, ischia, and pubes) and the sacrum (vertebrae articulated with the ilia via sacral ribs) is in some aspects highly conserved through amniote evolution: all terrestrial amniotes with functional hindlimbs retain the same bones of the pelvic girdle in roughly the same …

Computationally Efficient Finite Element Models of the Lumbar Spine for the Evaluation of Spine Mechanics and Device Performance
… efficient L4-L5 FSU model and a L1-Sacrum multi-segment model were developed and validated. The FSU is a functional spine unit consisting of two adjacent vertebral bodies, in this case L4 and L5. The multi-segment model consists of all lumbar vertebrae and the sacrum. The models are …

An Investigation of the Mechanical Implications of Sacroplasty Using Finite Element Models Based on Tomographic Image Data
… without cement. The results indicate that the sacrum has a 3D multi-axial state of strain. While compressive strains were the largest, tensile and shear strains were significant as well. It was found that a homogeneous model can account for around 80% of the variation in strain seen in a …

Functional morphology of mammalian sacra and caudal vertebrae : implications for tail loss and positional behaviors in extinct primates
… between trabecular structure in the proximal sacrum and positional behaviors among living primates is somewhat unclear. Some trabecular parameters in the distal sacrum appear to have a relationship with tail length. Results support the functional links between previously and newly defined …

Automatic Segmentation of Pressure Images Acquired in a Clinical Setting
… accuracy depended on the body site, with the sacrum, left trochanter, and right trochanter achieving an accuracy of 87-93%. This project reliably segments pressure images into high-risk regions of interest.

Assessing and Reporting Normative Data and Correlations in Adolescent Non-Professional Dancers
… strength and endurance of the hip flexor, sacrum imbalance, and postural stability were analyzed for each dancer. Main Outcome Measure: There were no significant relationships between measures of strength and flexibility. Holley Protocols for measures of balance, strength, flexibility, and …

Sonority and Linear Structure in Three Early Works of Olivier Messiaen
… early works of Olivier Messiaen: the motet <em>O sacrum convivium</em> (1937), "La colombe" from the eight piano preludes (1928-9), and the closing passage of "La fiancée perdue" from the song cycle <em>Trois méodies</em> (1930). All three works exhibit varying degrees of tonal behavior in …

Biomechanical Responses of Small Female Human Surrogates during Frontal Sled Tests using a Realistic Vehicle Environment
… orientations of the head, T1, T8, L2, and the sacrum. Three-axis accelerometer arrays were also mounted on the head, chest (T8), and the sacrum for all surrogates. The sternum chest potentiometer and Infra-Red Telescoping Rods for the Assessment of Chest Compression (IR-TRACC) were used to …

Quantifying Structural Changes with the Application of Osteopathic Manual Medicine (OMM) in Tegucigalpa, Honduras
… test found that, when manipulated, those with sacrum dysfunction have an association with a positive improvement in postural sway (TIC 1 & 2) (p<.05). Also, the multivariable logistic regression model found that individuals who had no initial change in postural sway (TIC 1 & 2) were more likely …

A descriptive study on three Icelandic horses measuring differences in vertical asymmetry during trot in a straight line and in a circle between two saddle placements using an objective gait analysis system
… collected and measured at the head, withers, and sacrum. Additionally, subjective feedback from the rider on the perceived balance, comfort, and overall rideability of the horses was gathered to complement the objective data. Overall, the objective data indicated better symmetry in P1 compared to …

An investigation into interface pressure (ip) risk of healthy volunteers on modern medical imaging and radiotherapy tables
… significant differences in the mean IP for head, sacrum, and heels across the three surfaces (p≤0.001). Results indicated high IP values for head (75.9±6.9mmHg) on the radiotherapy table. This high IP could induce tissue breakdown, thereby increasing the risk of developing PUs in at risk …

Effects of various loads and speeds on the mechanical energy of climbing and climbing mechanics
… trunk and the horizontal distance between the sacrum and ankle markers in the sagittal plane and mechanical energy values were affected by an increase in loads and speeds. There were numerous correlations among the kinematic parameters; however, linear relationships between load and/or speed …

Management of civilian penetrating rectal injuries in an urban trauma centre
… 6 (48.08%) had associated bony injuries: sacrum (22), iliac (9), pubic rami (5), coccyx (1), acetabulum (3), femur (6), vertebral fractures (3) and pelvic joints (5). Eight (7.69%) patients had an associated vascular injury [iliac veins (4), iliac arteries (4)]. Two extraperitoneal rectal …
