Although deterministic models may provide a useful starting point for sports biomechanists examining the mechanical aspects of athletic performance, they have inherent weaknesses that limit their proctical application. Specifically, their inability to provide substantive information about coordinative movement patterns or 'technique' suggests that sports biomechanists must explore alternative p...

It has been stated clearly that nanofillers could make an enhancement on the mechanical performances of dental composites. In order to address current shortage of traditional dental composites, fillers in forms of nanofibers or nanotubes are broadly regarded as ideal candidates to greatly increase mechanical performances of dental composites with low content of fillers. In this review, the effo...

In common high-end precision systems, thermal effects, in general, play a very important role with respect to the final performance of the system. Mainly driven by miniaturization, performance and reliability enhancement, the requirements of these systems have enormously increased over the last few decades. To stimulate exchange of knowledge and cooperation in the precision engineering communit...

although in recent two decades, the concept of dielectric barrier discharges (dbds) have been developed in ozone production well, air pollution control, plasma screens and control of chemical, and biological and medical processes, employment of this concept for high voltage applications to improve insulation performance as an alternative to the pressurized gas-insulated systems (gis) utilizing ...

Shell and Tube heat exchangers are the heat exchangers that are most widely used in industries and for other commercial purposes. There are many techniques that have been utilized to enhance the heat transfer performance of the shell and tube heat exchangers. Air bubble injection is one of the promising and inexpensive techniques that can create turbulence in the fluids resulting in to enhancem...
