Abstract:

Summary Objectives: The traditional techniques of data analysis are often not sufficient to characterize the complex dynamics of respiration. In this study the respiratory pattern variability was analyzed using symbolic dynamics. Methods: A group of 20 patients on weaning trials from mechanical ventilation were studied at two different pressure support ventilation levels. Breath duration (TTOT) time series and the relation TI/TTOT, that contains the influence of inspiratory time (TI), were considered. Length-3 words and 3 different symbols were proposed.

Abstract:

The water-softening property of soft rocks is a key problem in geotechnical engineering. A typical red-bed soft rock (the Zigong argillaceous siltstones) with different weathering degree is selected as an example to study the water-softening property and the influence of degree of weathering. A series of mechanical and microstructure tests are carried out to analyze the weathering characteristics and mechanism of the Zigong argillaceous siltstones. The results of mechanical experiments reveal that the water content and the weathering degree of rock specimens both have a weakening effect on the

Background: Mechanical chest wall pain is a common presenting complaint in the primary care office, emergency room, and specialty clinic. Diagnostic testing is often expensive due to similar presenting symptoms that may involve the heart or lungs. Since the chest wall biomechanics are poorly understood by many clinicians, few effective treatments are offered to patients with rib-related acute pain, which may lead to chronic pain.

It is expected that due to mechanical stresses (and related deformations) the interaction between constitutive elements of wood changes, proportionally to the stresses applied. The response of the material to mechanical stresses (such as tensile loading) on the molecular level should be therefore detectable by means of infrared spectroscopy. Dedicated tests have been devoted for proving this hypothesis. Self

Two types of the panels are manufactured entirely from wood-based materials while the third one presents a combination of plywood for surfaces and corrugated thermoplastic composite as a core part. All sandwich panels are designed to allow rapid one-shot manufacturing. Mechanical performance has been evaluated in four-point bending comparing the data to the reference plywood board. Additionally, finite element simulations were performed to

Abstract:

Introduction. Improving the competitiveness of manufactured products is impossible without achieving high rates of resource and energy saving, while providing modern machine tools with the proper level of production flexibility in combination with guaranteed high values of processing productivity and the required level of parts manufacturing quality. Insufficient or excess capacity of technological equipment leads to a decrease in its economic efficiency, an increase in capital costs and, as a result, an increase in the cost of production.

Abstract:

In traditional timber structures, hardwood connectors such as a nails, wedges, dowels and pegs have been used as reinforcement of carpentry joints or to fix wooden ceiling matts or floor boards. In the study reported, the possibility to rely on enhanced mechanical and technological properties of densified wood, for the production of wooden nails to be used in the repair of traditional timber structures is discussed. The wood used for connectors were domestic wood species; ash, beech, black locust and poplar. Wooden blocks were exposed to densification procedure with the purpose of increasing t

Abstract:

The isotonic shortening of electrically stimulated ovarian ligament smooth muscle strips from rabbits was studied by briefly applying sudden increases in afterload (force steps, 0.6 to 3.0 s long) just sufficient to halt the shortening. Upon removal of the extra afterload, the isotonic shortening velocity significantly increased compared with prestep velocities measured at the same muscle lengths. The degree of potentiation depended upon the duration of the force step. Muscles yielded initially when the step was applied, and their stiffness decreased.

The main objective of the paper is to present a study on compacted expansive soil strains generated by complex hydric or mechanical loadings and their consequences on tested soil compressibility. In the first part of the paper, the suction-controlled testing devices are described (osmotic and salt solution methods). All the presented tests were performed in the range of suctions between 0 and 40 MPa. The consequences of the strains induced by wetting as a function of the applied mechanical stress were analyzed. The results showed that, under these conditions, strain depends on the followed hyd

The responses were subjected to k-means cluster analysis, a multivariate statistical procedure. 2. For an analysis that pertained to the responsiveness of the neurons, the mean responses to four standard mechanical stimuli (Brush, Pressure, Pinch, and Squeeze) were used. Although no true clusters were found, the cells could be partitioned into four groups (called clusters a, b, c, and d) that responded pro

Abstract:

This study presents analytical solutions grounded in three-dimensional (3D) thermo-elasticity theory to predict the bending behavior of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels under thermo-mechanical conditions, incorporating the orthotropic and temperature-dependent properties of wood. The model initially utilizes Fourier series expansion based on heat transfer theory to address non-uniform temperature distributions. By restructuring the governing equations into eigenvalue equations, the general solutions for stresses and displacements in the CLT panel are derived, with coefficients determined th

Rumen fermentation and bacterial colonization of mechanically processed corn silage were evaluated in a series of in vitro and in situ experiments using ruminally cannulated cows. Data from rumen-simulated continuous culture (Rusitec) showed that total VFA concentration was increased (P < 0.001) by feeding processed corn silage, while pH was reduced (P < 0.001) and ammonia nitrogen remained unchanged (P > 0.05). Mechanical processing enhanced the in situ rate and extent of dry matter disappearance for corn stems and kernels, respectively (P < 0.05). It also enhanced in situ, the in

Abstract:

A method for the determination of load and stress distributions of the instantaneously engaged teeth of cylindrical worm gears is represented in this paper. The method is based on the assumption that both the worm and gear can be modeled as a series of spur gear slices. The exact geometry and point of load application of each slice depends on its location within the mesh. By calculating the applied load and stress for each slice, the same can be determined for the entire worm gear set. The method takes into consideration tooth stiffness variation from root to tip, tooth bending deflection, loc

The work due to drag force for a flying object is considered. The density of the fluid, the drag coefficient, and the velocity are all assumed to be functions of altitude. The differential equation describing the path for minimum drag work is derived using variational calculus. A special form of this equation describing exponentially decaying fluid density is then considered. The equation is cast into a dimensionless form. One of the dimensionless parameters is the final height/final distance and the other is related to the exponential decay of the density. An analytical solution for the path

Building superhydrophobic protective layers on the wood substrates is promising in terms of endowing them with multiple functions, including water-repellent, self-cleaning, anti-icing functions. In this study, multifunctional superhydrophobic wood was successfully fabricated by introducing SiO2 sol and superhydrophobic powder (PMHOS). The SiO2 sol was prepared using tetraethoxysilane as a precursor and ethanol was used as the dispersant. The PMHOS was synthesized using poly(methylhydrogen)siloxane (PMHS) and ethanol. As a result, the obtained superhydrophobic wood had a water contact angle (WC
