Stem cross-sectional areas were checked for accuracy and precision of area measurements in healthy and Armillaria ostoyae (Romagn.) Herink infected 18-year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco). Ten trees were randomly selected in each combination of two size classes and four infection classes, and stem disks were taken at the soil line (0 m) and at 1.3 m. Disks were marked at the longest radius, 90° to the longest radius, the shortest radius, and at radii determined by the sum of the largest diameter and the diameter at 90° divided by four. These radii were used to calculate cross-sectional area, then these calculated areas were compared with the corresponding digitized areas. Cross-sectional areas calculated from radial measurements were generally not within 5% of digitized areas. Radii were also drawn on the disks corresponding to the positions at which healthy and infected roots arose from the root collar below. For 0-m disks, the stem radii over healthy roots averaged 7 mm longer than over infected roots. At 1.3 m, the stem radii over healthy roots were 4 mm longer, but this was reduced with increasing infection of the root system. Offset piths and irregular shapes formed because of radial reduction over infected roots, and corresponding radial expansion over healthy roots affected the accuracy of disk area estimation.

Area Growth

Shrubs and hardwoods in five plantations of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in southwestern Oregon were treated to obtain four or five levels of competition; cover ranged from 0 (complete control) to 100% (no treatment). On four of the five plantations, Douglas-fir seedlings significantly increased bud production on the leader in the first growing season after treatment. Buds were more responsive to level of competition than were leader length or growth in stem diameter, for which significant differences were not usually observed until the second growing season after treatment. Bud number on the leader apparently is a good indicator of seedling vigor. Leader, stem diameter, and stem cross-sectional area growth in the 2nd and 3rd years after treatment were positively correlated with the number of buds produced on the leader in the first growing season following treatment.

Volume Response

Consideration is given to the distribution of growth increment at 6 points up the stem of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco) 5 years after fertilization. The fully stocked stand, near Port Alberni, B.C., was 49 years old with heights and diameters reaching 100 ft and 20 in. respectively when fertilized with 220 and 440 lb/acre of urea. No change of consequence occurred in tree form in the codominant and intermediate crown classes as a result of the volume response which was still evident, although greatly diminished, after 5 years. In dominant trees, however, cross-sectional area growth in the central third of the stem was less than the controls even though other parts of the bole showed a positive response which lasted until the 4th year. The net volume response was negligible. The estimation of volume response to fertilization in dominant trees from breast-height measurements should possibly be approached with caution.

Post Operative Complications

SummaryDuring a triple pelvic osteotomy, rotation of the free acetabular segment causes the pubic remnant on the acetabulum to rotate into the pelvic canal. The resulting narrowing may cause complications by impingement on the organs within the pelvic canal. Triple pelvic osteotomies were performed on ten cadaver pelves with pubic remnants equal to 0, 25, and 50% of the hemi-pubic length and angles of acetabular rotation of 20, 30, and 40 degrees. All combinations of pubic remnant lengths and angles of acetabular rotation caused a significant reduction in pelvic canal-width and cross-sectional area, when compared to the inact pelvis. Zero, 25, and 50% pubic remnants result in 15, 35, and 50% reductions in pelvic canal width respectively. Overrotation of the acetabulum should be avoided and the pubic remnant on the acetabular segment should be minimized to reduce postoperative complications due to pelvic canal narrowing.When performing triple pelvic osteotomies, the length of the pubic remnant on the acetabular segment and the angle of acetabular rotation both significantly narrow the pelvic canal. To reduce post-operative complications, due to narrowing of the pelvic canal, overrotation of the acetabulum should be avoided and the length of the pubic remnant should be minimized.

Crosssectional Area

The paper presents solutions to the direct and inverse problems on longitudinal vibrations of a rod with a variable cross-sectional area. The law of variation of the cross-sectional area is modeled as an exponential function of a polynomial of degree n . The method for reconstructing this function is based on representing the fundamental system of solutions of the direct problem in the form of a Maclaurin series in the variables x and λ. Examples of solutions for various section functions and various boundary conditions are given. It is shown that to recover n unknown coefficients of a polynomial, n eigenvalues are required, and the solution is dual. An unambiguous solution was obtained only for the case of elastic fixation at one of the rod’s ends. The numerical estimation of the method error was made using input data noise. It is shown that the error in finding the variable crosssectional area is less than 1% with the error in the eigenvalues of longitudinal vibrations not exceeding 0.0001.

The study analyzed the functional parameters of nasal breathing, linear parameters of the nasal aperture, nasal cavity and nasopharynx, volumetric parameters of the upper airways in patients with II and III skeletal class of jaw anomalies before and after orthognathic surgery. The respiratory function of the nose was assessed using a rhinomanometric complex. According to rhinoresistometry data, nasal resistance and hydraulic diameter were assessed. According to the data of acoustic rhinometry, the minimum cross-sectional area along the internal valve, the minimum cross-sectional area on the head of the inferior turbinate and nasal septum and related parameters were estimated. According to the CBCT data, the state of the nasal septum, the inferior turbinates, the nasal aperture, the state of the nasal cavity, and the linear values of the upper respiratory tract (nasopharynx) were analyzed. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the classification of the patency of the nasal passages by
