Semester/session grade-point average and cumulative grade-point average are calculated to represent numerically a student's quality of performance. These averages are used to determine if a student qualifies for certain academic actions (e.g., Dean's List, academic warning/drop, entrance to and changes in college/major, and graduation) and programs (e.g., student aid and study abroad). Grades and Grade-Point Equivalents. Semester/Session Grade-Point Average.
Another example of an amphiarthrosis is the pubic symphysis of the pelvis. This is a cartilaginous joint in which the pubic regions of the right and left hip bones are strongly anchored to each other by fibrocartilage. This joint normally has very little mobility.
Stress fractures, which are caused by repetitive trauma to the hip bone over time, are most often seen in long-distance runners. Avascular necrosis can be defined as the death of bone due to a lack of adequate blood flow. When this occurs in the hip it is usually in the ball of the joint, called the femoral head. It causes a dull ache or throbbing in the hip, groin or buttock and pain when walking or moving the hips from side to side.
