Meso and micro pore structure test of Jingyang shallow loess by Xiaorui FENG, Xinghua ZHU, Hengfei SUN, Liang JU, Ruixiang WEN, Yongjiu XIAO

“…The results show that Jingyang shallow loess can be divided into three layers according to its pore structure characteristics: ① 1−2 m as the first layer, 3−4 m as the second layer, and 5 m as the third layer；② The diameter of more than 95% of the total pores are less than 1.0 mm, which mainly are spherical and columnar closed pores; ③ while more than 65% of the total pore are larger than 0.8 mm, and most of them are branched and columnar connected pores；④ With depth increasing, the pore connectivity gradually decreases, and the deformation and failure of macropores play a key role in the stability of loess structure；⑤ In the mercury intrusion test, intragranular pores are bounded by 0.2 μm. …”

Correction of Excessive Tibial Plateau Angle and Limb Shortening in a Juvenile Dog Using a Hinged Circular Fixator Construct and Distraction Osteogenesis by Daniel D. Lewis, Stanley E. Kim, Justin Shmalberg, Sandra L. MacArthur

“…Premature closure of the caudal aspect of the proximal tibial physis, secondary to the proximal physeal fracture, resulted in an excessively high tibial plateau angle (TPA) of 50° with a limb length discrepancy of 13% by 24 weeks of age. The deformity was addressed by performing a proximal tibial osteotomy and subsequent distraction osteogenesis to reduce the TPA while concurrently lengthening the crus. …”
