Evaluation of supraspinatus muscle-to-fat infiltration for rotator cuff tear patients using dual-energy computed tomography by Naoki Takatori, MD, PhD, Yoshiyasu Uchiyama, MD, PhD, Takeshi Imai, MD, PhD, Masahiko Watanabe, MD, PhD

“…Three orthopedic surgeons evaluated fatty infiltration of the Ssp using the Goutallier classification of MRI, and three orthopedic surgeons measured attenuation (in Hounsfield units) for the same slice using dual-energy CT. We evaluated the following: 1) interobserver reliability of the Goutallier classification, 2) correlations between intramuscular muscle-to-fat ratio and tear size in the rotator cuff or Goutallier classification, and 3) the spectrum curve of attenuation for each energy level of the Goutallier stage. …”

A Seismic Landslide Hazard Assessment in Small Areas Based on Multilevel Physical and Mechanical Parameters: A Case Study of the Upper Yangzi River by Yunxin Zhan, Zhi Song, Dan Li, Lian Xue, Tianju Huang

“…In this work, regional seismic landslide data were obtained via a field survey, remote sensing interpretation, and data collection, and a multilevel physical and mechanical parameter system for seismic landslide hazard assessment was established; this system included a landslide inventory, loose accumulation layers, and geological units, enabling higher accuracy in the data. The Newmark displacement model with a modified correlation coefficient was used to assess the regional seismic landslide hazard in four scenarios (<i>a</i> = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) to study the influence of the landslide hazard at different peak ground accelerations. …”
