Menstrual cup use and intrauterine device expulsion in a copper intrauterine device randomized trial
To evaluate menstrual cup use and intrauterine device (IUD) expulsion.We performed a secondary analysis of a 3-year contraceptive efficacy trial comparing two copper 380 mm2 IUDs. Investigators randomized participants approximately 1:4 to the TCu380A or NTCu380-Mini IUD.

Contraception use in Malta [PDF]
Temporal surveys of family control methods being used within the Maltese setting carried out in the 1970's and 1990's had shown a definite shift towards the more effective methods of contraception.

Copper Planar Microcoils Applied to Magnetic Actuation [PDF]
Recent advances in microtechnology allow realization of planar microcoils. These components are integrated in MEMS as magnetic sensor or actuator. In the latter case, it is necessary to maximize the effective magnetic field which is proportional to the current passing through the copper track and depends on the distance to the generation microcoil.

Experimental Study on Boiling of Nanofluids in Copper Foam [PDF]
Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoscale particles (such as metals and their oxides) in base fluids (such as water, oil, or alcohol), which can significantly enhance the heat transfer performance of the base fluid. However, when nanofluids are applied to heat pipes, it is common for nanoparticles to accumulate within the heat pipe's capillary wick ...

In Situ Growth of Copper Channels within CuCl and PVDF Composite for Durable WORM Device Formation [PDF]
This study details the creation of a Write Once-Read Many (WORM) memory device utilizing cuprous chloride (CuCl) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) polymers. Employing an in-plane configuration, a deliberate 1:10 ratio of CuCl to PVDF-HFP has been selected.
