Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective The study aimed to identify symptom‐based predictors of dry eye disease (DED) signs in the Sjögren's International Collaborative Clinical Alliance (SICCA) cohort. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis examining 16 ocular symptoms (most graded 0–4) and artificial tear (AT) use (graded 0–3) as predictors of DED signs (abnormal ocular ...

The Retropulsion Test: A Good Evaluation of Postural Instability in Parkinson's Disease?
Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2015 Postural instability is a disabling feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), contributing to recurrent falls and fall-related injuries. The retropulsion test is widely regarded as the gold standard to evaluate postural instability, and is therefore a key ...

Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Alumina: Effects of Scanning Strategies on External and Internal Defects
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates how scanning strategies affect pure alumina in laser powder bed fusion. Linear 45° scanning yields uniform surfaces but high porosity, while the island‐concentric strategy provides higher density with through‐holes favorable for infiltration. Findings highlight pathways toward optimizing defect‐free alumina parts.

Pull-in instability of geometrically nonlinear micro-switches under electrostatic and Casimir forces
, 2011 This paper investigates the pull-in instability of micro-switches under the combined electrostatic and intermolecular forces and axial residual stress, accounting for the force nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity which stems from mid-plane stretching.

Pull-in instability behaviour of nanoscale actuators using nonlocal elasticity theory
, 2012 This paper modified the linear distributed load (LDL) model for cantilever nano-beams. A linear load model which suits boundary conditions was proposed to approximate with nonlinear intermolecular and electrostatic interactions. In the modified LDL model,

How Macroeconomic Instability Lowers Child Survival [PDF]
The reduction of child mortality is one of the most universally accepted millennium goals. However, a significant debate came out on the means of reaching it and on its realism with regard to the situation of most of the least developed countries.

Molecular Dynamic Study of Pull-In Instability of Nano-Switches
Advances in Nanoparticles, 2014 Capacitive nano-switches have been of great interest as replacements for conventional semiconductor switches. Accurate determination of the pull-in voltage is critical in the design process. In the present investigation, pull-in instability of nano-switches made of two parallel plates subjected to electrostatic force is studied.

Detecting Postural Instability in Parkinson’s Disease From IMU-Based Objective Measures
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation EngineeringParkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that affects both motor and non-motor functions. A critical aspect of PD is postural instability, which is associated with a higher risk of falls and a significant decline in mobility.
