Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2019 The effect of bond and tube thickness on the flexural behavior of concrete-filled fiber reinforced polymer tube (CFFT) are investigated experimentally in this research. Two different kinds of tubes were used in this research, pultruded tubes and filament

Techniques to measure rigidity of ankle-foot orthosis: A review [PDF]
The Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development, 2011 We performed this review to provide a clearer understanding of how to effectively measure ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) rigidity. This information is important to ensure appropriate orthotic intervention in the treatment of patients with pathological gait. The two main approaches to the investigation of AFO rigidity are (1) bench-testing analyses, in which

Finite Element Analysis of Well Pads in Basra Province
Wasit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2019 After the year 2003, the oil / gas sector evolved and gained investment. International companies of different origins utilized heavy drilling rigs (to achieve high drilling depths) and entered our region. Meanwhile, some drilling problems were recorded,

A Quick Turn of Foot: Rigid Foot-Ground Contact Models for Human Motion Prediction [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2019 Computer simulation can be used to predict human walking motions as a tool of basic science, device design, and for surgical planning. One the challenges of predicting human walking is accurately synthesizing both the movements and ground forces of the stance foot. Though the foot is commonly modeled as a viscoelastic element, rigid foot-ground contact

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Dynamic impedances of multiple strips on multi-layered transversely isotropic poroelastic soils
Forces in MechanicsGeo-materials naturally display a certain degree of anisotropy due to various effects such as deposition. Besides, they are often two-phase materials with a solid skeleton and voids filled with water, and commonly known as poroelastic materials.
