Friction Amyloidosis

International Journal of Dermatology, 1988
ABSTRACT: Three patients developed a peculiar pigmentation arising from prolonged mechanical friction with the skin due to the use of rough nylon towel or back scratcher for many years. Histochemical stains could not show the existence of amyloid in one of the cases, but amyloid deposition was identified in successive electron microscopic ...

Cell friction

Faraday Discussions, 2012
Cells sense and respond to their environment. Mechanotransduction is the process by which mechanical forces, stress, and strains are converted into biochemical signals that control cell behavior. In recent decades it has been shown that appropriate mechanical signals are essential to tissue health, but the role of friction and direct contact shearing ...

Frictional Phenomena. IX

Journal of Applied Physics, 1941
THIS chapter deals with: (1) mechanical processes involving viscosity, particularly (a) impregnation, (b) breathing, (c) oil migration with respect to high voltage cables; (2) chemical processes involving viscosity, such as (a) Voltol process, (b) wax formation in cables, (c) polymerization of styrene; (3) electrical conductivity.

Science Friction

Science, 2012
As European Commissioner, I encounter fantastic Science every day, more often than not while meeting the scientists who produce it. That is why I am particularly looking forward to the Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF) 2012 in Dublin (11 to 15 July). Scientists' passion for their work is infectious and has driven me to give them all the support I can. I am

Forms of Static Friction, Sliding Friction and Rolling Friction

World Tribology Congress III, Volume 1, 2005
Although, it seems that the concepts of static friction, sliding friction and rolling friction are common knowledges, their real sources are ironically not so clear. Inappropriate descriptions of them may have hampered the theoretical analyses and calculations of the frictions and deterred their applications in real world.

The Friction Blister

Military Medicine, 1972
Abstract : Friction blisters rank high as causes of military disability. Controlled studies show that: Friction blisters are not burns but are due to shearing forces within the epidermis. These produce a cleft into which fluid passes, provided there is a sufficient pressure gradient from blood vessels and tissue fluid; friction blister fluid contains ...
