Plank-Shaped Column-Forming Mesogens with Substituents on One Side Only

Comparing the Electromyography Activity of Core Muscles During Side Plank Exercise on Stable and Unstable Surfaces

Objective Numerous abdominal exercises with Swiss ball are used to improve core stability with strengthening and rehabilitation goals. It is claimed that the stability exercises have a greater impact on core muscle activation, but the validity of this claim is still in doubt. Moreover, there is no comprehensive study on the comparison of the core muscles activity in different core stability exe...

Shape-Persistent V-Shaped Mesogens-Formation of Nematic Phases with Biaxial Order

Column-shaped Origami Design Based on Mirror Reflections

Origami, which is the construction of an object by folding a single sheet of paper, has been studied in the fields of mathematics and engineering. Several software programs for designing origami shapes have been recently developed, and so we can now obtain a variety of shapes. However, the variations designed with them are still limited. In this paper, we propose a new method for designing orig...

Spatially Varied Flow Profiles in a V-Shaped Side-Channel

Fabrication of Saddle-Shaped Surfaces by Flame Forming Process

The flame forming process is widely used to manufacture ship hull plates. The saddle-shaped surfaces have different curvatures in perpendicular angles of planes and the manufacturers face an anti-clastic curvature. In this article, the manufacturing of saddle-shaped surfaces utilizing the flame forming process is investigated. The spiral irradiating scheme is used for forming. In order to study...
