Clinical Burden of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Patients with Suboptimal Peak Inspiratory Flow [PDF]
Canadian Respiratory JournalIntroduction. Many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may derive inadequate benefit from dry powder inhalers (DPIs) because of suboptimal peak inspiratory flow (sPIF). Objectives.

On the Effect of Curvature Radius on the Spif-Ability
Advanced Materials Research, 2010 Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a novel sheet metal forming process. The formability (i.e. spif-ability) in this process is determined through Varying Wall Angle Conical Frustum (VWACF) test. In this paper, the effect of variation in the curvature radius, a geometrical parameter of test, on the test results is investigated.

Synthetic PreImplantation Factor (sPIF) reduces inflammation and prevents preterm birth.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality and spontaneous PTB is a major contributor. The preceding inflammation/infection contributes not only to spontaneous PTB but is associated with neonatal morbidities including ...

Deviations between FE Simulation and Experiments in the SPIF Process
Key Engineering Materials, 2011 Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a modern and flexible alternative to traditional forming techniques. It thanks its flexibility to the fact that it does not require a dedicated tool set to operate. Numerical simulation of the SPIF process requires an accurate FE model.
