Tendon elongation in the free tendon is evident in patients with and without persistent muscle weakness following an Achilles tendon rupture

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Incomplete recovery with persistent muscle weakness is frequently observed following Achilles tendon rupture. The mechanisms for this weakness remain unclear, but tendon elongation has been suggested as a contributing factor. The aim of this study was to compare tendon and muscle morphology in high‐ and low‐functioning patients more ...

Controlled Microwave-Induced Pyrolysis of Waste Rubber Tires

International Journal of Technology, 2016
Pyrolysis is the thermal degradation of a carbonaceous solid by heat in the absence of oxygen. The feedstocks, such as biomass or solid wastes, are heated to a temperature between 400 and 600°C. The reaction produces three products: gas, pyro-fuel oil, and char. Pyrolyzing solid wastes to make pyro-oil and bio-char provides a renewable, low cost way to
