Co-published with the Arthroscopy Association of North America, The Foot and Ankle: AANA Advanced Arthroscopic Surgical Techniques is a comprehensive technique-based book that presents the latest diagnostic and reconstructive techniques in arthroscopic surgery for the foot and ankle. The Foot and Ankle: AANA Advanced Arthroscopic Surgical Techniques is authored by premier arthroscopic surgeons Drs. James W. Stone, John G. Kennedy, and Mark Glazebook, and their international list of expert contributors. This comprehensive resource includes preferred physical examination testing and diagnostic imaging choices in pre-operative planning and patient selection, state-of-the-art step-by-step description of the procedures, detailed surgical equipment lists to perform each procedure, clear and precise indications for surgery and the thoughtful rationale behind stated contraindications, controversial indications, post-operative protocols, and potential complications. The written text is supported by numerous color images and a website with invaluable, narrated video clips depicting disease-specific arthroscopic techniques specific to the foot and ankle. Features inside The Foot and Ankle: AANA Advanced Arthroscopic Surgical Techniques Narrated video accompanies all surgical techniques, focusing on the stepwise approach to each operation Consistent organization throughout the book results in a bulleted and user-friendly interface for a quick reference or prolonged study Top 5 Technical Pearls for each procedure to enhance outcomes and to avoid common pitfalls and complications High-quality artwork and figures to compliment clinical images Equipment and surgical technique checklists for quick reference prior to surgery Each expert contributor was chosen for his or her expertise for a specific topic related to The Foot and Ankle, so the reader benefits by the highest quality and treatment recommendations to provide state-of-the-art care to his or her patient. Some chapter topics include: -Reconstruction Using Allograft and Autograft -Lateral Approach to Subtalar Arthroscopy -Achilles Tendinopathy -Chondral Defects of the First MTP Joint -Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation

Aileron and elevator stick forces and rudder pedal forces for the Bell XP-83 (project MX-511) airplane in spins have been calculated. The hinge-moment characteristics of the 0.14-scale models of the control surfaces of the XP-83 airplane in attitudes simulating spins, as determined in the Langley 4- by 6foot tunnel and steady-spin data obtained on a 1/24-scale model of the subject airplane in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel, have been used in calculations.

An analytical study of the short-time response characteristics to longitudinal control moments of a swept-wing airplane of low aspect ratio having no horizontal tail has indicated that difficulty reported in landings aboard an aircraft carrier may have been the result of a relatively larger time lag in the response of the airplane in changing its flight-path angle than exists on more conventional type airplanes. It has been reasoned that reduction of the airplane''s static longitudinal stability might improve the response characteristics. Accordingly, an analytical study of the effect of reducing the static stability by a practical center-of-gravity shift has been made.

The effects of extended use of AN/PVS-5 night vision goggles (NVG) were investigated by observing 10 NVG helicopter instructor pilots during two 6-hour missions. Each mission consisted of three 2-hour flights during which pilot control inputs and aircraft status variables were recorded in flight. Questionnaires were completed before the first mission and after the NVG mission. In order to examine for a carryover effect, subjects were flown in a crossover design in which half of the aviators flew NVG on the first mission, the other half on the second. Only the out-of-ground-effect hover showed a statistically significant carryover effect; that is, subjects who flew naked eye before NVG demonstrated a greater absolute difference in hover flight performance variability than those who flew naked eye after NVG flight. In the traffic pattern (final approach segment), there was a statistically significant difference between the visual conditions only. The postflight questionnaire responses revealed a concern over what was described as a lack of concentration and a decline of mental alertness. Some physiological stress reactions were reported. None of the three maneuvers analyzed revealed a significant effect on performance across flights.

Well R-14 is located in Ten Site Canyon and was completed at a depth of 1316 ft below ground surface (bgs) in August 2002 within unassigned pumiceous deposits located below the Puye Formation (fanglomerate). The well was constructed with two screens positioned below the regional water table. Individual static depths measured for each isolated screen after the Westbay{trademark} transducer monitoring system was installed in mid-December 2002 were nearly identical at 1177 ft bgs, suggesting only horizontal subsurface flow at this time, location, and depth. Screen 1 straddles the geologic contact between the Puye fanglomerate and unassigned pumiceous deposits. Screen 2 is located about 50 ft deeper than screen 1 and is only within the unassigned pumiceous deposits. Constant-rate, straddle-packer, injection tests were conducted at screen 2, including two short tests and one long test. The short tests were 1 minute each but at different injection rates. These short tests were used to select an appropriate injection rate for the long test. We analyzed both injection and recovery data from the long test using the Theis, Theis recovery, Theis residual-recovery, and specific capacity techniques. The Theis injection, Theis recovery, and specific capacity methods correct for partial screen penetration; however, the Theis residual-recovery method does not. The long test at screen 2 involved injection at a rate of 10.1 gallons per minute (gpm) for 68 minutes and recovery for the next 85 minutes. The Theis analysis for screen 2 gave the best fit to residual recovery data. These results suggest that the 158-ft thick deposits opposite screen 2 have a transmissivity (T) equal to or greater than 143 ft{sup 2}/day, and correspond to a horizontal hydraulic conductivity (K) of at least 0.9 ft/day. The specific capacity method yielded a T value equal to or greater than 177 ft{sup 2}/day, and a horizontal K of at least 1.1 ft/day. Results from the injection and recovery phases of the test at screen 2 were similar to those from the residual-recovery portion of the test, but were lower by a factor of about two. The response to injection was typical for a partially penetrating well screen in a very thick aquifer.
