Effects of Laryngeal Restriction on Pharyngeal Peristalsis and Biomechanics: Clinical Implications [PDF]

, 2016
To date, rehabilitative exercises aimed at strengthening the pharyngeal muscles have not been developed due to the inability to successfully overload and fatigue these muscles during their contraction, a necessary requirement for strength training.

Interface Fatigue Test of Hybrid-Bonded Fiber-Reinforced Plastic-Reinforced Concrete Specimen

Buildings
This research produced five hybrid-bonded fiber-reinforced plastic (HB-FRP)-reinforced beam specimens, and different fatigue load amplitudes were used as parameter variables for the fatigue performance tests of the FRP–concrete interface.

Study on Cl⁻ Erosion of Concrete under the Combined Effect of Fatigue Load and Wet–Dry Cycles: A Review

Applied Sciences, 2023
The service environment of concrete in the marine environment is harsh, and demands regarding the durability of marine concrete have increased. Marine concrete in harbor and wharf areas suffers from the combined effect of fatigue load, dry–wet cycles ...

Parent Quality of Life at Two Years Following Their Child's Completion of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Parents of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often experience significant caregiver burden and disruption to their well‐being. While parent quality of life (QoL) during treatment is well characterized, little is known about outcomes during early survivorship.

Fatigue failure load indicator [PDF]

, 1979
An indicator for recording the load at which a fatigue specimen breaks during the last cycle of a fatigue test is described. A load cell is attached to the specimen which is alternately subjected to tension and compression loads.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

The effects of fiber load and frictional work on fatigue behavior of water hydraulic artificial muscles in underwater environment

Results in Engineering
Water Hydraulic Artificial Muscles (WHAMs) exhibit characteristics of high pressure and substantial load capacity. In previous work, the fatigue life of WHAMs under elastic load has been investigated, and experimental results have indicated that the ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

A crack-like notch analogue for a safe-life fretting fatigue design methodology [PDF]

, 2003
Various analogies have recently been proposed for comparing the stress fields induced in fretting fatigue contact situations, with those of a crack and a sharp or a rounded notch, resulting in a degree of uncertainty over which model is most appropriate ...
