On May 21, 1952, the International Business Machines Corporation announced the IBM Model 726 Tape Unit with the IBM Model 701 Defense Calculator, marking the transition from punched-card storage to digital storage on flexible magnetic tape. That bold introduction was the beginning of what is now a 50-year history of invention that has seen remarkable advances in the storage of information on fl...

in this paper, experimentally derived correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop are used in a pareto based multi-objective optimization (moo) approach to find the best possible combinations of heat transfer and pressure drop of tio2-water nanofluid flow in tubes fitted with multiple twisted tape inserts in different arrangement. in this study there are four independent design variables: t...

BACKGROUND Goniometers can be used to assess shoulder ROM with reasonable accuracy, but not internal rotation. Vertebral level, as determined by the hand-behind-the-back method, is used frequently but its reproducibility is questionable. We therefore devised a new measuring tape-based method for determining vertebral level. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We (1) compared the accuracy of a measuring tape-b...

The fascial pubovaginal sling for stress urinary incontinence is effective and durable. Various techniques and materials have been developed, including polypropylene tension-free vaginal tape. Contrary to other synthetic slings, tension-free vaginal tape reportedly has a low complication rate.1,2 We report on a case of long-term urinary retention after tension-free vaginal tape surgery, which r...

BACKGROUND Elastic tape has been widely used in clinical practice in order to improve upper limb (UL) sensibility. However, there is little evidence that supports this type of intervention in stroke patients. OBJECTIVE To verify the effect of elastic tape, applied to the paretic shoulder, on joint position sense (JPS) during abduction and flexion in subjects with chronic hemiparesis compared ...
