Acupuncture and Dry Needling for Sports Performance and Recovery

Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2022
Abstract Acupuncture and dry needling share many similarities in their proposed mechanisms of action and their sports medicine-related applications. Pain is the most common indication for these needling treatments, but there also are some limited studies on their use for ergogenic purposes.

Performance of conformable, dry EEG sensors

2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2018
We have recently developed a conformable solid state material solution (carbon nanofiber filled polydimethylsilisoxane, CNF-PDMS) for electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes. In this study, we tested the efficacy of electrodes molded from this material to record well studied neural phenomena using a battery of standard laboratory tasks.

PERFORMANCE OF AN AUTOMATIC BALL BALANCER WITH DRY FRICTION

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2005
In many industrial applications imbalance is a major cause for unwanted vibrations. One way to compensate for an unknown imbalance is the implementation of an automatic ball balancer. Oil-lubricated automatic ball balancers are applied in hand-held tools and washers.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF VACUUM MICROWAVE DRYING OF EDAMAME IN DEEP-BED DRYING

The Proceedings of the 5th Asia-Pacific Drying Conference, 2007
The experiments of vacuum-microwave (VMW) drying on edamames in a deep bed was investigated and compared in terms of drying rate, final moisture content, and quality of dried products among the different heights of edamame in a deep bed. The results have shown that there was a moisture gradient from the top to the bottom of the bed during the vacuum ...

Impaired Visual Performance in Patients with Dry Eye

The Ocular Surface, 2011
Patients with dry eye disease (DED) often complain about poor vision, which is not easily quantifiable. This review assesses the current understanding of clinical evaluations of visual function in patients with DED. Several noninvasive techniques for the assessment of visual performance have been utilized in patients with DED, and these are critically ...

Influence of carrier on the performance of dry powder inhalers

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2007
The aim of this work is to study carriers which can become alternatives to monohydrate lactose in dry powder inhalers and to consider particle parameters that influence adhesion between drug and carrier in dry powder inhalers. Different forms of mannitol, lactose and maltitol were mixed with either terbutaline sulphate or formoterol fumarate.

Relationship between drying parameters and drying performance in domestic tumble dryers

Textile Research Journal, 2020
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of drying parameters on drying performance in an air-vented tumble dryer, and to optimize its drying performance by adjusting parameters. The critical drying parameters that influenced specific moisture extraction rate (SMER), final moisture content, evenness of drying, and smoothness appearance ...

Experimental Performance of a Thermoelectric Heat-Pump Drying System for Drying Herbs

Journal of Electronic Materials, 2015
In this study we investigated thermoelectric (TE) heat-pump drying of laurel clock vine leaves, and the effect of drying-air temperature on the characteristics of the leaves. The TE drying system comprised four TE modules each with its own rectangular fin heat sink.

Drying performance of a tumbler dryer with condenser

Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2006
The effects of flow rates of hot air and cooling water on drying percentage and energy efficiency of cotton lint in a cylindrical type drum tumbler dryer (0.54m-ID×0.34m-high) have been determined. Drying of the lint is mainly affected by flow rate of hot air, which is a function of the diameter ratio (DM/DF) of motor and fan pulley and motor capacity.
