The Talus
… fall. With a cracked cranium and smashed ankle (talus), he stumbles into a small Florida town off the beaten track—home to a mix of retired circus workers. As he recedes into a coma, his fate lies in the hands of Sam, a physician; Jasper, Sam’s smart-ass sidekick; and Agnes, Sam’s ex-wife and …

Talus Features of the Middle Columbia River: Typological and Locational Analyses
The form and function of talus features of the Columbia Plateau are the subject of archaeological investigations and cultural resource evaluation and protection programs. Depressions excavated in talus slopes, most often circular to oval in shape, are called talus pits. Pit features are also …

The role of talus size distribution & the frequency of transport in wide and narrow valleys on bedrock valley widening: Buffalo National River, Arkansas
… Second, the river transports the collapsed talus blocks and moves them from the wall, allowing the river access to the wall again for continued undercutting. If a river at different flow regimes cannot move a talus block, the valley wall is shielded from lateral erosion until the grain size …

The ecology of eastern small-footed bats at Shenandoah National Park
… roosting habitat, emergent rock features and talus slopes. Following initial reports of mortality from the bat epidemic white-nose syndrome, eastern small-footed bats were reviewed for protection under the endangered species act but were rejected due to lack of significant evidence of declines …

The healing of an autogenous osteochondral graft and a full thickness cartilage defect in the canine talus: compared by functional, radiographic and histological assessment
… defect was created on the medial ridge of the talus in twelve skeletally mature dogs. In six dogs the articular surface of the lesion was repaired using an osteochondral graft obtained from the ipsilateral manus. The graft (Digit I, 1st phalanx, distal articular surface and diaphysis) was …

Estabilidade de taludes de solos residuais de granito e de gnaisse
… In Part Two a case history of a landslide on talus material is presented. The "in situ" shear strength, compared to that obtained in laboratory, confirms the need of a thorough knowledge of the sliding mechanism. Owing to the special topographic configuration, high pore pressure developed, by …

A 3D Geometric Morphometric Investigation of Relatedness in the Modern Human, Chimpanzee, and Homo naledi Postcranial Skeleton
… (first metacarpal (Mc1), proximal femur, talus, calcaneus, and navicular) from 187 individuals that were generated from surface scanners or downloaded from MorphoSource.</p><p>This dissertation employed a relatively new 3D geometric morphometric workflow that captures the entire shape of …

Recherche d'indices précurseurs de mouvements de masse par photo-interprétation multidate : exemple de la rivière Yamaska, Québec
… forme des versants et le recul de la position de talus. Mais avant tout, cette technique a permis de relever un indice utile à la prédiction des mouvements de masse: la dépression micro-topographique qui apparaît au sommet du talus avant le déclenchement de ces phénomènes gravitaires. Les données …

Morphology of the Ankle Collateral Ligaments: Functional and Clinical Considerations
… to the anterolateral malleolar line of the talus. The ATFL limits plantarflexion, inversion and talar adduction, and internal rotation. The calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) originated 7.63 mm from the lateral malleolar tip and passed to the calcaneal lateral surface to insert 17.7 mm commonly …

Surface water and groundwater in a changing climate: applications of hydrogeophysics and trend analysis to understand hydrologic systems
… of alpine gravitational slope deposits, such as talus cones and debris fans. These slope deposits are buried beneath thick (5 to 10 m) fine lacustrine sediment, indicating that they were first deposited in proglacial lakes, where their large pore space was infilled slowly with lake sediments over …

Variations in the insertions of the tibialis posterior muscle and the structure of the medial longitudinal arch
… (arch index) and the post-dissection method (talus-first metatarsal angle). The insertion data were then compared to the arch measurements, as well as foot side, age, sex, and population group. There was a weak negative correlation between the talus-first metatarsal angle measurement and the …

Electroanalysis of Cystine and Selenocystine.
… Since the name tellurium had been coined from talus, the Latin word for "earth," Berzelius named his discovery after the Greek word for "moon," selene.

Effect of Fixation Using Locked Compression Plate versus Lag Screws on Biomechanics of Talonavicular Joint: A Human Cadaveric Foot Model
… Three dimensional targets were fixed to the talus and navicular bones and the motion of the targets was tracked using an optoelectrical camera. The motion was analyzed at a point located in the talonavicular joint space. The relative translational and rotational motions between the two bones …

Comparative Digital Examination of the Talocrural (ankle) Joint Provides Insight into Human bipedal locomotion
… the talocrural joint (tibia, fibula, and talus). Using a high resolution 3-dimensional laser scanner (FARO Arm EDGE), digital models of these bones from a sample of humans (N=19), fossil hominins (4.4 million year old Ardipithecus ramidus, 3.2 Ma Australopithecus afarensis, 1.8 Ma Homo …

Design and analysis of spatially-partitioned shared caches
… reducing expensive main memory accesses: Talus eliminates performance cliffs by guaranteeing convex performance, and EVA uses planning theory to derive the optimal replacement metric under uncertainty. These policies improve performance and make qualitative contributions: Talus is cheap to …

Functional morphology of the anthropoid talocrural joint
… of the flexor hallucis longus muscle on the talus, and a more anteriorly oriented posterior talar facet on the calcaneus, have been hypothesized to reflect a greater emphasis on vertical climbing in anthropoids. This research evaluated these features in extant anthropoids, and compared them …

A Glacial Sedimentary System in Northwest Spitzbergen
… lichenometric survey of moraine ridges and pro-talus deposits in and around Signedalen were analysed using discriminant analysis, and compared with Werner's (1988) lichen growth curve in order to establish a chronology of moraine stabilisation. Seismic records of Krossfjorden have revealed …

Development and Application of a BioRobotic Simulation of Stance Phase Gait to Study Foot and Ankle Kinematics
… and rotational data of the calcaneus, talus, and navicular from four cadaver specimens during stance phase gait. Specimens were mounted in the RTP with the tibia upright and foot flat on the baseplate. Passive loading applied a 5N ATL with no AT. Active ATLs were controlled as a …

Dual fuel conversion of a direct-injection diesel engine
Dual fuel pilot-injected diesel natural gas engines offer significant potential to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PK emissions while maintaining diesel-like efficiency. A 1994 Navistar T444E turbocharger V-8 diesel engine was converted to dual fuel diesel and compressed …
