Thoracic myelopathy due to ossified hypertrophied ligamentum flavum

Calcification of ligamentum flavum is a rare disease that was found to occur almost exclusively in Japanese population. However the disease is now being increasingly recognized as a cause of thoracic myeloradiculopathy in Indian Population. We report a case of thoracic myelopathy at multiple levels due to ossified and hypertrophied ligamentum flavum

Failure of Offshore Concrete Piles During Construction

Two offshore piles of 1000 mm diameter with 1 m socketing into rock in 15 m water depth have failed during construction. The analysis of failure considering wave and current forces, structural and foundation capacities and vibration measurement on freshly concreted and well set piles is discussed

Thallium(III) salts in heterocyclic synthesis: Synthesis of 3-aryl-9-methyl-1, 2, 4-triazolo[4, 3-<i>a</i>]quinolines

262-265Oxidation of arenecarbaldehyde 4-methylquinolin-2-yl hydrazones 2a-h with thallium(III) acetate in ace tic acid, thallium(III) acetate and thallium(III) nitrate in acetonitrile or methanol in the presence of perchloric acid, p-toluene sulphonic acid etc. afford 3-aryl-9-me thyl-1, 2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolines 3a-h by intramolecular oxidative cyclization in high yield. The probable mechanism for this transformation is also proposed
