BI-PHASIC BIOMATERIAL AND ARTICULAR CARTILAGE E.Northwood , R.Kowalski and J.Fisher * Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK. +** DePuy CMW, Cornford Rd, Blackpool, England Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Natural articular cartilage has a unique biphasic lubrication regime [1]. Internal interstitial fluid pressure [2, 3] leads to low levels of fr...

The heat flow paradox provides evidence that a dynamic weakening mechanism may be important in understanding fault friction and rupture. We present here a specific model for dynamic velocity weakening that uses the mechanics of well-studied industrial bearings to explain fault zone processes. An elevated fluid pressure is generated in a thin film of viscous fluid that is sheared between nearly ...

This study is originally motivated by the thermal balance equations for the gas and solid interphase heat-transfer for the fast-igniting catalytic converter of automobiles. Instead of solving this problem directly, we proved some results concerning the existence and uniqueness for abstract semilinear initial value problem by means of C0, 1 -semigroup theories on locally convex topological space...

Residual lubricants retained in the handpiece may be displaced onto the tooth surface. A few studies have examined the effect of contamination from handpiece lubrication oils on enamel and dentin bond strengths, but the results have been equivocal. 1,2 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of dental-handpiece lubricant on dentinal shear bond strength. A lubrication-free handpiece...

Background: Indigenous learners and community members are often excluded from online learning environments, as both consumers producers of knowledge, resulting in an educational digital divide. Further, knowledges represented through practices spaces risk misrepresentation appropriation, which leads to stereotypes deficit thinking about people, their histories, current realities. There is a nee...
