Ligament Influence on Joint Gap: Limitations of Gap-Based Balancing in TKA

by

According to recent biomechanical research, soft tissue balancing determines total knee arthroplasty stability, yet the underlying mechanics of intraoperative gap assessment remain largely unclear. A specialized finite element model developed to evaluate these dynamics reveals that collateral ligament release and tightening conditions directly influence joint gap behavior during simulated intraoperative laxity tests. Finite Element Modeling … Read more

Cross-Validation Bias in Predictive Maintenance: A Leakage-Resilient Benchmark

by

Predictive maintenance for urban electric transport fleets operates under severe class imbalance, where equipment failures are rare but individually costly. According to a benchmarking study of thirty classical, boosting, and deep tabular models conducted on an anonymised multi-modal fleet dataset comprising trams, trolleybuses, and electric buses, reported optimization gains are frequently artifacts of cross-validation optimism … Read more

Australians Reject Net Zero Amid Rising Energy Costs

by

A majority of Australians are unwilling to pay any additional costs to support the transition to net zero, with 51.7 per cent of respondents rejecting even a $1 increase to their energy bills. According to polling by Compass Polling for Affordable Energy Australia (AEA), concerns over the rising cost of living have eclipsed support for … Read more

Gabion Scour Mitigation: Effects of Porosity and Tailwater Depth

by

Gabion grade-control structures (GCSs) reduce downstream riverbed scour by up to 38% in depth and 44% in length compared to solid impermeable structures, according to a laboratory study using a recirculating tilting flume. The research indicates that increasing structural porosity—specifically to levels around 0.45—and increasing tailwater depth are the most effective variables for stabilizing channel … Read more
