Unravelling the functional biomechanics of dental features and tooth wear [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Most of the morphological features recognized in hominin teeth, particularly the topography of the occlusal surface, are generally interpreted as an evolutionary functional adaptation for mechanical food processing.

A Return to Normality: A Descriptive Qualitative Interview Study Exploring the Patient Experience of Gout Flare Resolution

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Although the definition of a gout flare is well established, the state of gout flare resolution has not yet been defined. This study aimed to explore patients’ experiences and perceptions of gout flare resolution. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 people with gout, guided by open‐ended questions exploring their ...

A geometry independent integrated method to predict erosion wear rates in a slurry environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Material wear due to erosion-corrosion in slurry transport equipment is prevalent in process industries such as the oilsands industry. Damage to equipment can cost a typical oilsands industry nearly £200 million annually, along with an associated health

Wear of hard-on-hard hip prostheses: influence of head size, surgical position, material and function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Edge loading in hip replacement bearings may occur due to rotational and translational mal-positioning. Rotational mal-positioning is easier to detect clinically which include steep inclination angle and excessive version/anteversion angles ...

Mechanochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured ErB4 and NdB4 Rare‐Earth Tetraborides

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 6, March 2025.
ErB4 and NdB4 nanostructured powders are produced by mechanochemical synthesis. 5 h mechanical alloying and 4 M HCl acid leaching are used in the production. ErB4 and NdB4 powders exhibit maximum magnetization of 0.4726 emu g−1 accompanied with an antiferromagnetic‐to‐paramagnetic phase transition at about TN = 18 K and 0.132 emu g−1 with a maximum at ...

Experimental Evaluation of 100Cr6 Steel Microindented Surfaces Under Lubricated Nonconformal Point Contacts

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.
