USEFUL FEATURES Twin Duty Cycle EVA’s twin duty cycle (TDC) technology (Figure) provides a high cut rate of 16 000 cpm with a constant open duty cycle of 92%. It significantly reduces the time to complete a core vitrectomy when compared with the Associate (DORC) and other non-TDC machines. A complete core vitrectomy with the 23-gauge system and TDC technology takes an average of 3 to 4 minutes....

Abstract Development of cotton fabric (CF) properties using nanocomposites via coating method was considerable interest for wide applications. This article aims at developing CF by treatment ethylene–vinyl-acetate (EVA), silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), aluminum oxide (Al O 3 ) nanoparticles and ?-irradiation widely used in waterproof flame retardant EVA-based nanocomposites, EVA/SiO , EVA/Al 3, /Al w...

Repeated oral administration of mexazolam, an anti-anxiety agent, may cause adverse effects such as gastric disturbance, drowsiness, and ataxia due to transiently high blood levels. Transdermal administration would avoid the systemic side effects and gastric disorders after oral administration. We have developed a matrix using ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a heat-processible and flexible materi...

Many advanced techniques have been developed for vibration-based machine fault diagnosis. One of the prerequisites to use vibration for fault diagnosis is the vibration signal measured from a machine component must be well isolated from other vibrations that are generated by adjacent components. Many machines have numerous and small components that are closely packed together. Due to limited sp...

Success or failure of a software project mainly depends on the management capability of the project manager. Therefore, EVA (Earned Value Analysis) is gaining much attention recently as a method of managing a project in an integrated fashion by introducing a unified metric called EV (Earned Value) and quantitatively measuring and analyzing the cost and schedule of a project. Project managers ca...

Bacterial endospores are formed in genera such as Bacillus and Clostridium in response to adverse environmental changes. Endospores have remarkable resistance to various extreme conditions and can remain dormant for extended periods of time. Clostridium spores are of particular interest due to their significant importance in several industries, such as food processing, wastewater treatment, pha...

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS), performed with the da Vinci surgical system (da Vinci), has been classified as a surgical approach for benign and malignant lesions of the oral cavity and laryngopharynx. It provides several unique advantages, which include a three-dimensional magnified view, ability to see and work around curves or angles, and the availability of two or three robotic arms. At ...

The use of thin-film polymer-coated glass surfaces or POGs as passive air samplers was investigated during an uptake experiment in an indoor environment with high levels of gas-phase polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). POGs consisted of a micron thick layer of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) coated onto glass cylinders. The uptake was initially linear with time and governed by the air-side mass tran...
