Tendon lesions are among the most frequent musculoskeletal pathologies. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to regulate angiogenesis. VEGF-111, a biologically active and proteolysis-resistant splice variant of this family, was recently identified. This study aimed at evaluating whether VEGF-111 could have therapeutic interest in tendon Surgical section one Achilles rats performed before local injection either saline or VEGF-111. After 5, 15 30 days, tendons 10 both groups were...

The architectural potential of tensegrity structures is proven. Yet, paradoxically, very few real construction projects have been built around the world. main reasons are complex processes, lack design and optimization guidelines, excessive self-weight due to prestress needed guarantee stiffness dynamic behavior. Hence, optimizing a key aspect when designing footbridge. Previous research has demonstrated validity methodology, based on morphological indicators, that identifies geometry with...
SUMMARY Probabilistic theories aim at describing the properties of systems subjected to random excitations by means statistical characteristics such as probability density function ψ (pdf). The time evolution pdf response a randomly excited deterministic system is commonly described with transient Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov (FPK) equation. FPK equation conservation hypothetical or abstract fluid, which models transport probability. This paper presents generalized formalism for resolution using...
Summary This paper presents a novel dynamical model to analyze the long‐term response of percussive drilling system. departs from existing approaches that usually consider single activation and bit/rock interaction cycle for analysis process performance. The proposed integrates axial dynamics an elastic piston drill bit, motion‐dependent pressure law drive piston, generalized representative dynamic indentation taking place at interface. It applies down‐the‐hole as well top‐hole, with minor...
This paper considers the problem of a beam with small bending stiffness, within framework nonlinear model that includes both classical cable and linear as limiting cases. problem, treated perturbation catenary solution, is solved multiple scales method. The resulting expressions deflection internal forces, well those obtained more commonly applied matched asymptotics method, are compared numerical results. comparison indicates better accuracy can be achieved approach, for similar...
A new simple relation for the estimation of modal correlation coefficients is presented. It obtained from decomposition covariances responses into background and resonant contributions, as it commonly done variances. Thanks to appropriate assumptions, are estimated weighted sums two limit values, corresponding respectively. The weighting expressed functions background-to-resonant ratios, which makes proposed formulation convenient easily accessible. simplicity mathematical facilitates...
