Substructure coupling or component-mode synthesis may be employed in the solution of dynamics problems for complex structures. Although numerous substructure-coupling methods have been devised, little attention has devoted to employing attachment modes. In present paper various mode sets (normal modes, constraint modes) are defined. A generalized procedure is described. Those which employ modes described detail. One these shown lead results (e.g., system natural frequencies) comparable...
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), a highly vocal New World primate species, has emerged in recent years as promising animal model for studying brain mechanisms underlying perception, production, and cognition. present study provides quantitative acoustic analysis of large number vocalizations produced by marmosets social environment within captive colony. Previous classifications the repertoire were mostly based on qualitative observations. In variety from individually identified...
Purpose : We conducted a clinical study to evaluate the effects of neurotization, especially comparing total contralateral C7 (CC7) root transfer hemi‐CC7 transfer, on avulsion brachial plexus injuries (BPI). Methods Forty patients who received neurotization for BPI were enrolled in this prospective study. Group 1 ( n = 20) hand function, while group 2 total‐CC7 transfer. Additional included spinal accessory, phrenic, and intercostal nerve shoulder elbow function. The results evaluated with...
The use of an mesial‐occlusal‐distal (MOD) restoration in repairing a large carious lesion depends on many factors. Biomechanical performance is one the most important. It has been recognized that resistance to failure not solely biological concern (e.g. toxicity), but cavity shape, dimensions, and state stress must all be taken into account. In present study, newly developed auto‐mesh program was used generate 30 three‐dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models simulating biomechanics for...
Abstract Objectives: Three‐dimensional finite element (FE) models of splinted prosthetic crowns were studied and stress analyses evaluated with different types implant support, including standard, wide or two implant(s) for partial, posterior edentulous restorations. Material methods: The FE constructed based on a cadaver mandible containing the 2nd premolar 1st molar. these teeth modeled as connected disconnected to mimic non‐splinted designs, respectively. One standard was placed at...
Background: Dynamic tape is one of the options for supporting foot arch in management arch-related disorders. However, its mechanical effects on remain unclear, particularly under cyclic loading. This study aims to investigate initial dynamic taping maintaining height loading among university students. Methods: Thirty-three asymptomatic participants were enrolled this study. The was applied with lower provide support, and other remained untaped as a control. without pre-tension simply laid...
Abstract Motivation Single-cell RNA-seq normalization is an essential step to correct unwanted biases caused by sequencing depth, capture efficiency, dropout, and other technical factors. Existing methods primarily reduce arising from depth modeling count-depth relationship and/or assuming a specific distribution for read counts. However, these may lead over or under-correction due presence of beyond the restrictive assumption on models distributions. Results We present scKWARN, Kernel...
Endodontically treated teeth are usually weak and need prosthodontic restorations. The selection design of endodontic posts associated with the biomechanical behavior teeth. This study analyzed stress in endodontically using finite element method. model a restored tooth consists post, core, crown, dentin, periodontal ligament, cortical bone, cancellous gingiva. post is given various parameters: three diameters (1.3, 1.8, 2.3 mm), four lengths (9.7, 12.7, 15.7, 18.7 shapes (cylindrical,...
Background and objectives: Vertebral compression fracture is a major health care problem worldwide due to its direct indirect negative influence on health-related quality of life increased costs. Although percutaneous surgical intervention with balloon kyphoplasty or metal expansion, the SpineJack, along bone cement augmentation has been shown efficiently restore fix lost vertebral height, 21–30% body height loss reported in literature. Furthermore, effect approaches biomechanical responses...
In the present study, neuroprotective potential of magnolol against ischemia-reperfusion brain injury was examined via in vivo and vitro experiments. Magnolol exhibited strong radical scavenging antioxidant activity, significantly inhibited production interleukin‑6, tumor necrosis factor‑a nitrite/nitrate (NOX) lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV2 RAW 264.7 cells when applied at concentrations 10 50 µM, respectively. (100 µM) also attenuated oxygen‑glucose deprivation‑induced damage neonatal...
Purpose: Clinical and biomechanical studies have reported that using supportive screws a wire instead of the common Kirschner wires for modified tension band wiring improves stability fractured patellae. However, effect screw proximity on fixation patella remains unclear. Therefore numerical study was conducted to examine effects responses in simulated patellar fracture fixed two parallel cannulated anterior wiring. Methods: A model with transverse loads simulating tendon forces applied were...
The aim of this study was to examine the resin bond strength on enamel treated with different fluoridated bleaching agents. Forty‐eight bovine incisors were divided into four groups receive treatments, over a 14‐d period, as follows: no treatment; 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) bleaching; CP containing 0.11% fluoride; and 0.37% fluoride. Immediately, 7 14 d after bleaching, surfaces respectively bonded composite sectioned create resin–enamel beams. These beams subjected microtensile (μTBS)...
The chin bar of a motorcycle helmet protects the rider from facial and head injuries. To evaluate protective performance bars against injuries impacts, an explicit finite element method was used to simulate Snell Memorial Foundation test proposed drop test. maximum acceleration Head Injury Criterion (HIC) were employed assess impact-absorbing capability bar. results showed that approach should be more practical than test, provided information for improving design protect shell stiffness...
Epidemiological studies indicate a strong relationship between dietary Mg intake and the incidence of sudden cardiac death. The mechanism by which leads to an increased cardiovascular disease is unknown but may involve alteration electrolyte balance. In present study, tissue levels myocardial pathology were investigated in adult hamsters fed diet containing no added Mg. Control animals same supplemented with or standard laboratory chow. Hamsters killed after 4, 8, 12, 18 days on test diet,...
