the single wheel tester is an experimental device used to measure wheel forces when studying the relation of soil and wheel in a soil bin or in the field. in the model under development, a special frame holding the test wheel is connected to a loading carriage by two pairs of vertical rails and four rollers to provide a floating connection. by applying a driving torque to the test wheel shaft, ...

coronary artery disease (cad) is the leading cause of mortality in many parts of the world. genome-wide association studies (gwas) have identified several genetic variants associated with cad in low-density lipoprotein receptor (ldlr) locus. this study was evaluated the possible association of genetic markers at ldlr locus with cad irrespective to lipid profile and as well as the association of...

in this paper, we have used density functional perturbation theory (dfpt) and pseudo-potential method to calculate the phonon spectrum, phonon density of states (dos), specific heat capacity and mechanical properties of (5,5) armchair and (9,0) zigzag single wall carbon nanotubes (swcnts). our calculations show that young’s modulusfor (5,5) and (9,0) nanotubesare higher than 1tpa. we have also ...

an earlier overview of systematic reviews and a subsequent editorial on single-component versus multifaceted interventions to promote knowledge translation (kt) highlight complex issues in implementation science. in this supplemented commentary, further aspects are in focus; we propose examples from (kt) studies probing the issue of single interventions. a main point is that defining what is a ...

background and purpose: the identification of genetics risk factors of human diseases is very important. this study is conducted to model the allele frequencies (afs) of alzheimer’s disease. materials and methods: in this study, several candidate probability distributions are fitted on a data set of alzheimer’s disease genetic risk factor. unknown parameters of the considered distributions are ...

conclusion both adhesive systems showed good biological compatibility. background to investigate pulp response to the application of two types adhesive systems (total-etch and self-etch) in human premolar teeth. materials and methods cavities limited to enamel walls in all margins with 2.5 mm depth were prepared on buccal surfaces of thirty three human premolars. the cavities were treated with ...

background: many types of single-use blades are manufactured with different designs and materials. there have been several reports of difficulties in obtaining a view of the glottis with single-use laryngoscopes. the purpose of this prospective study was to compare the quickness and the success rate of endotracheal intubations with two different laryngoscope blades: disposable laryngoscope blad...
