Contraceptive use and sexual function: a comparison of Italian female medical students and women attending family planning services [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Objectives: The aims of the study were to understand how education relates to contraceptive choice and how sexual function can vary in relation to the use of a contraceptive method.

Multi-scale analysis of the roughness effect on lubricated rough contact [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Determining friction is as equally essential as determining the film thickness in the lubricated contact, and is an important research subject. Indeed, reduction of friction in the automotive industry is important for both the minimization of fuel ...

Lubrication fundamentals [PDF]

open access: yes
A lubricant is any substance that is used to reduce friction and wear and to provide smooth running and a satisfactory life for machine components. Lubrication fundamentals are discussed and the various lubrication mechanisms are defined.

Viscosity and tribology of copper oxide nanofluids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Nanofluids, a term proposed by Choi in 1995 [1], are composites consisting of solid nanoparticles with sizes varying generally from 1 to 100 nm dispersed in a liquid.

Lubrication background [PDF]

open access: yes
Surface topography, including the various physical methods of measuring surfaces, and the various lubrication regimes (hydrodynamic, elastohydrodynamic, boundary, and mixed) are discussed.

Hydrodynamic modelling of hydrostatic magnesium extrusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Wilson’s hydrodynamic model of the hydrostatic extrusion process is extended to meet the geometry found on residual billets. The transition from inlet\ud to work zone of the process is not considered sharp as in the model of Wilson but as a rounded edge,

Identification of lubrication Regimes in Mechanical Seals using Acoustic Emission for Condition Monitoring [PDF]

open access: yes
The quality of lubrication condition between seal faces directly affects the reliability, operating life and sealing performance of mechanical seals. Thus, the identification of lubrication regimes in face seals i.e.

The cutoff method for the numerical computation of nonnegative solutions of parabolic PDEs with application to anisotropic diffusion and lubrication-type equations

open access: yes, 2013
The cutoff method, which cuts off the values of a function less than a given number, is studied for the numerical computation of nonnegative solutions of parabolic partial differential equations.

Mutual influence of cross hatch angle and superficial roughness of honed surfaces on friction in ring-pack tribo-system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The cylinder bore surface texture, widely produced by the honing technique, is an essential factor for a good engine performance (friction, oil consumption, running-in, wear etc.).

Closing the Gap between the Workshop and Numerical Simulations in Sheet Metal Forming [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The accuracy and reliability of numerical simulations of sheet metal forming processes do not yet satisfy the industrial requirements. In this paper we pay attention to the strategies which can be followed to decrease the gap between the real deepdrawing
