Co-extrasion involves extrasion of multiple layers at the same time. Functionally graded materials comprising various layers with different properties can be produced through co-extrusion. Rheological control is vital for successful co-extrusion of layered cement-based materials. The paste flow in the barrel and the die land in a ram extruder should be plug-like, while the paste should be shear...

PURPOSE To evaluate the characteristics of patients with anophthalmic cavity who developed sphere extrusion. METHODS A retrospective observational study was done evaluating 37 patients with anophthalmic cavity and sphere extrusion at the "Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu-UNESP". RESULTS Extrusion was observed in enucleated and eviscerated cavities. The majority of the patients had the eye ...

Membrane extrusion was investigated for predicting the stability of soya phosphatidylcholine liposomes and surfactosomes (Tween 80-enriched liposomes) to nebulization. Formulations were prepared with or without cholesterol, and salbutamol sulfate (SBS) or beclometasone dipropionate (BDP) were incorporated as model hydrophilic or hydrophobic drugs respectively. Formulations were extruded through...

Our aim was to characterize the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of canine disc extrusion accompanied by epidural hemorrhage or inflammation. We correlated the imaging characteristics of this type of disc extrusion in 46 dogs and compared these features with clinical signs and pathologic findings. Data from 50 control dogs with MR imaging features of a disc extrusion with no associated ...

A method for the extrusion of arbitrary polygon meshes is introduced. This method can be applied to model a large class of complex 3-D closed surfaces. It consists of defining a (typically small) set of connected polygons in 3-D that form a skeleton of the final object, and assigning extrusion distances to all polygons. Both sides of a polygon may have different extrusion distances. An automati...

The work is devoted to researching a new method of hot direct-reverse extrusion hollow conical products from high-carbon steel and determinated parameters for technological design. considered makes it possible obtain in one step with different wall thickness height, while the upper part product can be greater than bottom part. dimensions initial workpiece are determined by modeling using finite...

This study investigates a novel changing channel angular (CCA) extrusion process, in which high strains are induced within the billet by passing it through a series of channels of unequal cross-sections arranged such that they form specified internal angles. Using commercial DEFORM 2D rigid-plastic finite element code, the plastic deformation behavior of CuZn37 brass alloy is examined during on...

OBJECTIVES Meniscal extrusion is often present in knees with OA, and has been associated with cartilage changes. It is unknown whether meniscal extrusion is related to subchondral bone. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between meniscal extrusion and knee cartilage and subchondral bone, and also changes in these structures over 2 years in a cohort with mild to moderate knee O...

Epithelial cell extrusion and subsequent apoptosis is a key mechanism to prevent the accumulation of excess cells. By contrast, when driven by oncogene expression, apical cell extrusion is followed by proliferation and represents an initial step of tumorigenesis. E-cadherin (E-cad), the main component of adherens junctions, has been shown to be essential for epithelial cell extrusion, but its m...

Streptococcus faecalis, like other bacteria, accumulates potassium ions and expels sodium ions. This paper is concerned with the pathway of sodium extrusion. Earlier studies (D.L. Heefner and F.M. Harold, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79:2798-2802, 1982) showed that sodium extrusion is effected by a primary, ATP-linked sodium pump. I report here that cells grown under conditions in which sodium AT...
