Bowed tendon SDFT or DDFT in a hindleg. When the SDFT is damaged, there is a thickening of the tendon, giving it a bowed appearance when the leg is viewed from the side. Bows usually occur in the middle of the tendon region, although they may also be seen in the upper third, right below the knee or hock (high bows), and lower third, just above the fetlock (low bows). Excessive strain on a tendon can damage its collagen fibers. This is most commonly seen in performance horses that gallop or jump, who usually strain a tendon as a result of fetlock
Inelastic mean free path beam has traveled through the solid. The parameter formula_4, termed the inelastic mean free path (IMFP), is defined as the distance an electron beam can travel before its intensity decays to formula_5 of its initial value. The inelastic mean free path of electrons can roughly be described by a universal curve, which is the same for all materials. Inelastic mean free path The inelastic mean free path (IMFP) is an index of how far an electron on average travels through a solid before losing energy. If a monochromatic primary beam of electrons is incident on a solid surface, the majority
