The Importance of mechanical behaviour in orthodontic archwires
Australasian Orthodontic Journal, 1986 For many years it has been recognised that the mechanical behaviour of the archwire material plays a central role in orthodontic treatment. Burstone et al (1961) recognised this in their analyses of the forces obtained from cantilevers and springs ...

3D Collagen-Nanocellulose Matrices Model the Tumour Microenvironment of Pancreatic Cancer
Frontiers in Digital Health, 2021 Three-dimensional (3D) cancer models are invaluable tools designed to study tumour biology and new treatments. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the deadliest types of cancer, has been progressively explored with bioengineered 3D approaches

Assessing the Role of Longitudinal Variability of Vertical Track Stiffness in the Long-Term Deterioration [PDF]
, 2016 The performance of the railway system in terms of dynamic loading is depending mainly on the track support conditions. Usually, the track stiffness is used as the main parameter to describe the support conditions and is defined as the ratio of the load ...

P5.19 STIFF ARTERIES, STIFF HEARTS?
Artery Research, 2013 Objectives: To examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and diastolic function in healthy normotensive subjects. Methods: For this study, 43 male (40±10 years) and 64 female (40±9 years) subjects were recruited. All were lifelong non-smokers, normolipidaemic, normoglycaemic and had normal 24-hour blood pressure responses (SBP\DBP <140\90).

Reduction of friction by normal oscillations. II. In-plane system dynamics
Friction, 2017 The influence of out-of-plane oscillations on friction is a well-known phenomenon that has been studied extensively with various experimental methods, e.g., pin-on-disk tribometers.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Cognitive impairment and exercise intolerance are common in dialysis patients. Cerebral perfusion and oxygenation play a major role in both cognitive function and exercise execution; HD session per se aggravates cerebral ischemia in this population. This study aimed to compare cerebral oxygenation and perfusion at rest and in mild

Durotactic control within a 3D collagen matrix [PDF]
, 2008 INTRODUCTION: While matrix stiffness has been implicated in cell adhesion and migration, most studies have focused on the effects of substrate stiffness in 2D. This work describes a novel continuous stiffness gradient model for studying such processes in

Spin wave stiffness and exchange stiffness of doped permalloy via ab-initio calculation
, 2019 The way doping affects the spin wave stiffness and the exchange stiffness of permalloy (Py) is investigated via ab-initio calculations, using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) Green function formalism.
