Correlation of textile ‘resistance to damage’ scores with actual physical survival of long-lasting insecticidal nets in the field [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Attempts have been made to link procurement of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) not only to the price but also the expected performance of the product.

Development of a single resistance to damage metric for mosquito nets related to physical integrity in the field [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background In common with the majority of personal protective equipment and healthcare products, the ability for long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) to remain in good physical condition during use is a key factor governing fitness for purpose and ...

Reduced susceptibility to eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage in resistance-trained men is not linked to resistance training-related neural adaptations [PDF]

Biology of Sport, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of maximal concentric vs. eccentric exercise on the isometric strength of the elbow flexor, as well as the biceps brachii muscle electromyographic (EMG) responses in resistance-trained (RT) vs ...

Variation of physical durability between LLIN products and net use environments: summary of findings from four African countries

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Physical durability of long-lasting-insecticidal nets (LLIN) is an important aspect of the effectiveness of LLIN as a malaria prevention tool, but there is limited data on performance across locations and products.

Resistant hypertension and target organ damage [PDF]

Hypertension Research, 2013
Cardiovascular (CV) complications such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke and renal failure are related to both the degree and the duration of blood pressure (BP) increase. Resistant hypertension (RH) is associated with a higher risk of CV complications and a higher prevalence of target organ damage (TOD).

Polμ deficiency increases resistance to oxidative damage and delays liver aging. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Polμ is an error-prone PolX polymerase that contributes to classical NHEJ DNA repair. Mice lacking Polμ (Polμ(-/-)) show altered hematopoiesis homeostasis and DSB repair and a more pronounced nucleolytic resection of some V(D)J junctions.

Damage resistance and damage tolerance of hybrid carbon-glass laminates [PDF]

Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2011
AbstractThe influence of impact energy and stacking sequence on the damage resistance and Compression After Impact (CAI) strength of Carbon and Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP and GFRP respectively) hybrid laminates is investigated. CAI tests demonstrate that, in comparison to fully CFRP laminates, hybrid laminates show increases in structural ...

The mechanical behavior of two warm-mix asphalts

Ingeniería e Investigación, 2016
This paper presents results stemming from a comparative experimental analysis of two warm-mix asphalts (WMA) and a dense-graded hot-mix asphalt (HMA). In order to evaluate asphalt mixture behavior, physical and rheological tests were conducted, including
