Bob's ACL WWWBoard: On-Line Knee-Injury-Article Library The baseline calibration force on the graft was established as the force present on the graft when an anterior force of 67 Newtons (15 pounds) at 30 degrees of knee flexion (Lachman test) was applied to the tibia. The force on the graft, as measured by the buckle transducer, was recalibrated via the screw tensioning device to this baseline force using this same technique (as necessary) after each testing cycle for each knee flexion angle to account for any graft or other tissue creep. Once this load was set, it was allowed to counterbalance with the proximal tibia, as would occur during the fixation of the tibial bone block. factotem.org /library/database/Knee-Articles/LaPrade-AJSM-Jul99.shtml   (3692 words)

In Memoriam: The Royal Greenwich Observatory, 1675-1998 British astronomers can use several world-class telescopes: the 1-metre Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope, the 2.5-metre Isaac Newton Telescope and the 4.2-metre William Herschel Telescope, which together make up the Isaac Newton Group. Following its move to Herstmonceux Castle in Sussex after the Second World War, it became the home of the Isaac Newton Telescope, a 2.5-metre reflector which offered British astronomers access to a very large telescope for the first time. The ORM, situated at an altitude of 2400 metres on the rim of an extinct volcano, is acknowledged to be one of the best optical observatories in the world. www.obliquity.com /astro/rgo.html   (570 words)

SI Derived Units for the Metric Conversion Tables In education, for example, it may be convenient to define electric field strength initially in terms of the force experienced by unit charge and to use the corresponding unit newton per coulomb (N/C) instead of volt per metre (V/m). • Mechanical energy must not be expressed in newton metres (N•m) but only in joules (J). For instance, the quantity force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration (F=m•a) so the definition of the unit of force, the newton (N) is given by 1 N = 1 kg•m/s² www.simetric.co.uk /siderived.htm   (525 words)
