Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
Total Hip Arthroplasty, THA, is a commonly available surgical procedure which is capable of providing a once arthritis stricken patient with a new range of motion they could not have benefited from before the procedure. In the past decades since the introduction of the first Total Artificial Hip, TAH, the design of the hip has progressed from glass, wood and ivory to more sophisticated materials such as titanium and cobalt-chrome alloys which are commonly used today. However, there is still room for improvement in the areas of mechanical properties, fixation and biocompatibility to name a few. This project involves the development of a novel, mechanically alloyed Titanium Aluminide for the purpose of human implant applications; the aims being improved properties including a lower elastic modulus and higher damping capacity for optimal performance, function and longevity. In this work the mechanically alloyed powder was characterized as a function of milling times and annealing temperatures using a Transmission Electron Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope, and X-Ray Diffractometer. The data will be utilized in future work to optimize values of milling parameters to achieve amorphization or produce microcrystallites and fine crystal structures.
