The first aim of this study was an approach to quantify the 3D kinematics of the glenohumeral joint referred to the joint surfaces.
The failure of the autogenous weld joint was located at the weld centre regardless of the test temperature, recorded the lowest hardness in the weld joint (refer to Fig. 7).
Its clinical presentation is dominated by pain in the area surrounding the joint and often in areas distant to the affected joint (referred pain/secondary hyperalgesia) [ 2- 6].
Although pain symptoms in knee OA patients are mostly associated with the area surrounding the affected joint, referred pain and tenderness also occur, implying that mechanisms of central sensitisation contribute to the pain experience [ 2- 6].
The faults and joints referred to above are brittle structures that form as discrete fractures within otherwise undeformed rocks in cool upper levels of the crust.
Two of the joints, referred to as "as-built", were designed and detailed for gravity load in accordance with local design and construction practices.
The other two joints, referred to as "earthquake-resistant", were also designed assuming gravity load but their reinforcement detailing were improved to satisfy part of the ACI 318-08 requirements and ACI-ASCE 352-02 recommendations for seismic-resistant structures.
In order to perform this analysis, we have developed a nonlinear circuit model that is able to estimate, both in stationary conditions and in transient ones, temperature profiles inside MV joints, referring to different environmental conditions and with current flowing both in the core conductor and in the metallic shield.
It is conceivable that elevated systemic or local inflammation in the synovial joints, which is frequently observed in aged and OA joints (referred to as "inflammaging" of the joints, Berenbaum 2012), further contribute to the disruption of the cartilage clock.
'Joint activity' refers to swollen joints or tender joints, as appropriate.
Complete joint remission refers to the situation with no joint activity by the 32-joint count (32JC-), while incomplete remission refers to patients with no joint activity by the 28, but active joints by the 32-joint scale (28JC-/32JC+ 28JC-/32JC+
