hip-and-gable

Examples of hip-and-gable in the following topics:

• Japanese Architecture in the Momoyama Period

  • The ornate castle architecture and interiors of the Momoyama period were a reflection of both a feudal lord's power and a new aesthetic sense.
  • It was marked by the rule of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, men who built castles as symbols of their power: Nobunaga in Azuchi, the seat of his government, and Hideyoshi in Momoyama.
  • The dark interiors of castles were often decorated by artists, and the spaces were separated using sliding fusuma panels and byōbu folding screens.
  • Fusuma (vertical rectangular panels that can slide from side to side) and byōbu (folding screens) became highly decorated with paintings, and often an interior room with shelving and an alcove (tokonoma) was used to display art work (typically a hanging scroll).
  • The sanctuary and worship hall are both built with a hip-and-gable roof, to which a simple gabled roof of the ishi-no-ma connects.

• Architecture during the Tang Dynasty

  • Chinese culture flourished and further matured during the Tang era; it is considered the greatest age for Chinese poetry, and architecture advanced greatly during this time.
  • From the Tang Dynasty (618–907) onwards, brick and stone architecture gradually became more common and replaced wooden edifices.
  • These above-ground earthen mounds and pyramids had subterranean shaft-and-vault structures that were lined with brick walls since at least the Warring States (481–221 BCE) period.
  • The roof is supported by twelve pillars that are implanted directly into a brick foundation, and the hip-gable roof is supported by brackets.
  • These main intersecting roads formed 108 rectangular wards with walls and four gates each, and each ward was filled with multiple city blocks.

• Hip Fracture

  • A hip fracture is a femoral fracture that occurs in the proximal end of the femur (the long bone running through the thigh) near the hip.
  • Hip fractures are often due to osteoporosis.
  • The classic clinical presentation of a hip fracture is an elderly patient who has sustained a low-energy fall and now has pain and is unable to bear weight.
  • In some hip fractures, the doctor completely removes the head and neck of the femur and replaces it with a prosthetic implant.
  • Patients with hip fractures are at high risk for future fractures, including hip, wrist, shoulder, and spine.

• Muscles that Cause Movement at the Hip Joint

  • Actions - Lateral rotation and abduction of the thigh at the hip.
  • Actions - Lateral rotation and abduction of the thigh at the hip.
  • Crossing both the hip and knee joints, it can induce movement at both the hip and knee.
  • Actions: Adduction and flexing at the thigh at the hip joint.
  • Actions: Extends and laterally rotates at the hip.

• Ischium

  • The ischium forms the lower and posterior portion of the hip bones of the pelvis.
  • The ischium forms the lower and back part of the hip bone .
  • Situated below the ilium and behind the pubis, the superior portion of this bone forms approximately one third of the acetabulum, which articulates with the femoral head to form the hip joint.
  • The ischium is divisible into three portions; the body, and the superior and inferior rami.
  • Left hip joint, opened by removing the floor of the acetabulum from within the pelvis.

• Arthroplasty

  • Hip fractures from falls are common among the elderly.
  • Partial arthroplasty (replacing the hip socket and femur head and neck) may be done to relieve pain and improve mobility.
  • For example, a hip joint that is affected by osteoarthritis may be replaced entirely (total hip arthroplasty) with a prosthetic hip.
  • This would involve replacing both the acetabulum (hip socket) and the head and neck of the femur.
  • These include ceramics and all-metal implants (as opposed to the original metal-on-plastic).

• Pulled Groin

  • A pulled groin muscle usually refers to a painful injury sustained by straining the hip adductor muscles.
  • A pulled groin muscle usually refers to a painful injury sustained by straining the hip adductor muscles.
  • These hip adductor muscles that make up the groin consist of the adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus .
  • Groin pulls are a common sports injury, especially in ice hockey and soccer.
  • Treating a groin pull is relatively simple, and includes resting the muscle (and refraining from any activity that aggravates the injury), applying ice or heat as needed, gentle stretching of the area, and if needed, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to help relieve the pain.

• Pubis

  • The pubis is the lowest and most anterior portion of the hip bones of the pelvis.
  • The pubic bone forms the anterior region of the pelvis and contributes to the acetabulum, which articulates with the femoral head to form the hip joint.
  • The pubic bone articulates with the ilium and the ischium on each hip.
  • The pubic bone is divisible into a body, a superior ramus, and an inferior ramus .
  • It passes laterally and downward from the medial end of the superior ramus, and becomes narrower as it descends and joins with the inferior ramus of the ischium below the obturator foramen.

• Thai Buddhist Architecture

  • Although wat architecture has seen many changes in Thailand in the course of history, and there are many differences in layout and style, most monasteries adhere to the same principles.
  • In central Thai temples, the lower tiers telescope just a short distance beyond the top roof at the gable ends.
  • Roofs of Thai temples are typically decorated with finials attached to the bargeboard, the long, thin panel on the edge of the roof at the gable ends.
  • The most common finial is called the lamyong, sculpted in a serpentine shape and resembling the feathers of Garuda, a mythical bird-like creature from Hindu and Buddhist mythology.
  • Temples may also be decorated with sculptures and paintings of other mythical beings from Hindu and Buddhist iconography, including the many-armed gods Vishnu and Shiva, the elephant god Ganesh, the naga or serpent deity, and the ghost-banishing giant Yaksha.

• Femur (The Thigh)

  • The femur—the bone of the upper leg—is the longest bone in the human body and one of the strongest.
  • The femur or thigh bone is found in the upper leg and is the longest bone in the body.
  • The femur articulates proximally with the acetabulum of the pelvis to form the hip joint, and distally with the tibia and patella to form the knee joint.
  • The femoral head projects medially and superiorly and articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis to form the hip joint.
  • It is narrower than the head to permit a greater range of movement at the hip joint.
