I n animals, anesthetic requirements for a supramaximal noxious stimulus are usually determined using a hemostat applied to the tail or extremity (1,2). Although a generally accepted technique, the applied force is either not stated or unknown. Furthermore, when a noxious mechanical stimulus is applied to determine neurophysiological responses (e.g., dorsal horn activity), the force is often va...

Two antimycobacterial drugs ethambutol (EMB) and isoniazid (INH) were found to result in decreases of biomechanical properties including adhesion force, cell wall spring constant, and Young's modulus in Mycobacterium sp. strain JLS (M. JLS).

An automobile industry have an interest in replacement of conventional leaf spring with composite leaf spring to get better performance with less weight. This paper deals with by replacing the conventional leaf spring with composite leaf spring. The dimensions of an existing conventional steel leaf spring of a light commercial vehicle were taken to fabricate the special die which is further use...

We have examined a new method for generating coarse-grained models of polymers. The resulting models consist of bead-spring chains with the spring force law taken from the force-extension behavior in the constant extension ensemble. This method, called the polymer ensemble transformation method, is applied to the freely jointed chain. The resulting model illustrates why current bead-spring chai...

1 The medical staff might not have to be represented here since they only enter what factors that should be monitored and so they can be seen as the same entity as the nurses' station.
