conclusions this biobehavioral-based multimodal physical rehabilitation treatment combining mt, tpe and mcte produced a substantial reduction in pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, disability and the impact of headaches on patient’s life. case presentation a 34-year-old woman was known to have chronic tth. initially, the patient presented moderate headaches 5 days per week, mechanical neck pa...

This paper focuses on the calculation of interfacial tension two systems: low-density polyethylene with isotactic polypropylene and high-density syndiotactic polypropylene. For this, three methods to measure are compared: use Palierne's model, Gramespacher Meissner's both based additional elasticity or long relaxation times brought by shape recovery dispersed phase, ab-initio calculation, which...

Damage progression in unidirectional (UD) composites tension-tension fatigue is vital to understanding more complex laminates and loading conditions. We therefore developed the UD model that considers fiber breaks, fiber-matrix debond growth, as well interactions of these damage modes. The contribution each mode assessed those dominate are identified. accounts for Weibull statistics strength st...

Turbine oil plays an important role in supporting optimal steam turbine performance. Some additives in turbine oil can cause emulsification when the oil is contaminated by water, so demulsibility is a very important property of the steam turbine oil. In order to improve the demulsibility of steam turbine oil, two kinds of polyether-silicone comb copolymers are synthesized and used as steam turb...

Treated sea water is the most significant source of water and surfactant floods. The various chemicals employed in treatment plants should be compatible with surfactant systems. Based on surface tension experiments, the activity of these chemicals is examined over a wide range of concentrations in different solutions, including distillated water, sea water by using three types of surfactant mix...

Major proportion of intracellular calcium (Ca 2+ ) is achieved through opening of calcium channels present in the plasma membrane which play an important role in regulating neuromuscular coordination and release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals. Blockade of these calcium channels adversely affect contractile process and release of neurotransmitters in majority of the neuromuscular prep...

A powerful and versatile method of shape-preserving interpolation is developed in terms of piecewise exponential functions with a tension factor associated with each interval. Knots coincide with data points, and the interpolant is formulated in terms of its values and first derivatives at these points. For a given set of derivatives, this enables the efficient computation of the minimum tensio...
