Exo-hydrogenated Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
An extensive first-principles study of fully exo-hydrogenated zigzag (n,0)
and armchair (n,n) single wall carbon nanotubes (CH), polyhedral
molecules including cubane, dodecahedrane, and CH points to
crucial differences in the electronic and atomic structures relevant to
hydrogen storage and device applications. CH's are estimated to be
stable up to the radius of a (8,8) nanotube, with binding energies proportional
to 1/R. Attaching a single hydrogen to any nanotube is always exothermic.
Hydrogenation of zigzag nanotubes is found to be more likely than armchair
nanotubes with similar radius. Our findings may have important implications for
selective functionalization and finding a way of separating similar radius
nanotubes from each other.Comment: 5 pages, 4 postscript figures, Revtex file, To be appear in Physical

Arthroscopic Hip Capsule Reconstruction for Anterior Hip Capsule Insufficiency in the Revision Setting
Iatrogenic hip instability is increasingly recognized as a cause of persistent pain and disability after hip arthroscopy. Many authors currently advocate capsular repair to reduce postoperative instability. However, anatomic deficiencies in the anterosuperior capsule can prevent a functional capsular repair, particularly in the revision setting. Capsular reconstruction has been shown to restore biomechanical stabilization in cadaveric models and improve short-term patient outcomes in patients with primary hip arthroscopy failure. Arthroscopic hip capsular reconstruction is technically challenging, largely owing to complex suture management and difficulties with graft placement and sizing. This article describes the capsular reconstruction technique, detailing the technical aspects of anterosuperior capsular defect identification; capsular preparation; suture management; and dermal allograft sizing, preparation, and positioning
